Switching from Wix to Lovable

Wix does not export sites and Lovable cannot start from existing code, so you rebuild the site in Lovable by prompting, using your live Wix pages as the reference.

Editorial assessment

Bottom line up front: How do you rebuild a Wix site in Lovable without burning through credits?

Write the plan before you write a single prompt, because nothing exports from Wix and every message you send Lovable spends credits.

Pro starts at $25 a month for 100 credits against Wix Light at $17 on an annual plan, and Wix blog posts, store items and bookings all get copied or rebuilt by hand. Most wasted credits come from vague requests and rework, so screenshot every Wix page, list each form and feature, and describe one page fully per message instead of nudging it ten times. Build the shared parts first, the header, footer and page layout, so later pages reuse them instead of regenerating them. I'd stay on monthly billing, as the guide suggests, and check credit use after the first few pages before committing to a year. Keep Wix live until the new site and its redirects check out.

Switching Cost & Friction Estimator

Most buyers only budget for the new subscription. This estimates the hidden labor, data-cleanup, and retraining cost of actually making the switch.

Estimate assumes: 1 hour of data-mapping/cleaning labor per 2,000 records, a blended $75/hr ops rate, tiered migration & cleaning tooling fees, and 4 hours of retraining per seat at a $45/hr fully-loaded rate.

    Why teams move from Wix to Lovable

    Own the code

    Lovable’s FAQ says the creator owns the code, which you can download or sync to GitHub.

    Custom app features

    Build logins, databases and custom tools by describing them.

    One plan for the team

    Unlimited workspace members share one credit pool.

    How the migration actually works

    Wix’s help center says a Wix site needs to be hosted and operated on Wix’s servers, so nothing exports; the rebuild is manual.

    StepWhat you do
    1Inventory the Wix siteList pages, forms, blog posts, store items and bookings; take screenshots of each page.
    2Save your contentCopy text and download images; Wix says blog posts cannot be exported to other platforms, so copy them by hand.
    3Choose a Lovable planStart free, then pick Pro (from $25 a month for 100 credits) for custom domains and removing the Lovable badge; Business adds SSO.
    4Rebuild by promptingDescribe each page and feature to Lovable, attach screenshots, and refine; every message spends credits.
    5Connect GitHubSync the project to GitHub for a backup of your code.
    6Move your domain and redirectConnect your domain on a paid plan and map old Wix URLs to the new pages.
    7Cancel WixCancel once the new site is live and checked.

    What this path doesn’t do for you:

    Wix apps (stores, bookings, members) do not carry over; each is rebuilt in Lovable or replaced. Credit use during the rebuild is hard to predict, so start on monthly billing and watch usage.

    Editorial assessment

    Before you cut over

    • Set up single sign-on in Lovable on Business before you invite the team, so accounts are created through your identity provider rather than by hand.
    • If you restrict Wix to office or VPN IP addresses today, check how you will enforce the same rule in Lovable; we found no IP allowlisting documented.

    Checked September 27, 2026 against each vendor’s own trust center, help docs and app pages. Hover or tap “source” to see the exact wording we relied on. “Not published” means we could not find the vendor saying it on its own site; it doesn’t mean the feature is missing. Plan names are the lowest plan the vendor says includes the feature. Security · Offline · Remote vs office · Download the data

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I export my Wix site to Lovable?

    No. Wix does not export sites, and Lovable cannot start a project from existing code; you rebuild by prompting.

    Will Lovable cost more?

    Often: Pro is $25 a month for 100 credits on monthly billing and heavy rebuilding uses more credits, against Wix Light at $17 (annual).

    Can I bring my Wix blog?

    Not automatically. Wix says blog posts cannot be exported, so copy them across by hand.
