Starter STACK vs Wix vs Carrd
What each one gives a repair shop that needs one page online. The Wix and Carrd columns are what their own pages say, checked October 4, 2026. Bracketed numbers are sources, listed below the table. "Not documented" means we could not find it on their pages, not that it cannot be done.
| Feature | Starter STACK | Wix | Carrd |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who builds it | We do. Send your shop details, approve the page, and it is usually live in under 24 hours. | You do, in the drag and drop editor, from a template or with the AI website builder. Wix also points to hiring a freelancer through Wix Marketplace, priced separately. [2] | You do: "Start with one of dozens of templates (or a blank page) and make it your own." A done-for-you build is Not documented. [9][6] |
| Copy written for you | Yes. Your copy, your services and your prices, written for your shop. Nothing goes live until you say yes. | You write it, with AI writing help where Wix offers it. Copy written for you is Not documented beyond hiring a freelancer. [2] | Not documented. You write the page yourself. [6][9] |
| Call, text and form tracking | Included. Every call, text and form the page produces is tracked. | Lead-capture forms are included. A click-to-contact report shows which traffic sources sent visitors who tapped a phone, WhatsApp or email link. Tracking of the calls and texts themselves is Not documented. Wix stopped selling its Business Phone Number on new sites on June 4, 2025. [3][4][5] | Forms are included on Pro Standard. Analytics means connecting a service such as Google Analytics, Plausible or Matomo. Call and text tracking is Not documented. [6][8] |
| Connection to your POS | STACKS works alongside your POS. Leads connect to RepairDesk, MyRepairApp, RepairShopr, RepairSpots and more. Keep your POS. | A connection to a repair shop POS is Not documented. [1][3] | A connection to a repair shop POS is Not documented. Forms send to email marketing tools such as Mailchimp and Kit. [8] |
| Domain and hosting | Hosting handled. Use the domain you already own, or we register one free with your purchase. | Hosting is included and every Premium plan connects a custom domain. Yearly plans include a voucher for a new domain bought from Wix, free for 1 year. It cannot renew a domain you already own. [1][3] | Hosted by Carrd with SSL on Pro Standard and up. The domain is not included: it must be registered first at a provider such as Cloudflare, Namecheap or Porkbun. [6][7] |
| Yearly cost | $175/year. No setup fee. Domain, hosting, build and tracking included. | Light, the lowest plan that connects a custom domain: $17 a month paid yearly, $204 a year, in the US. Wix says prices and currency vary by location. [10][1] | Pro Standard, the lowest tier with custom domains and forms, is $19 a year. Domain registration is extra, at the registrar's price. [6][7] |

Build it yourself, or have it built
All three put a page on your own domain. The difference is who does the work, and whether the page tells you which calls, texts and forms it produced.
Wix
You want to build and edit the site yourself, you want many pages, a store or bookings, and you are happy to set up your own tracking.
Carrd
You want the lowest yearly cost for a simple one-page site, you already own a domain, and you are comfortable writing the copy and connecting analytics yourself.
Starter STACK
You run a repair shop and want the page done for you: written, built, on your domain, with every call, text and form tracked, and leads that work alongside your POS.
