Wix.com reported its third-quarter 2026 results on November 10. Revenue reached $570.2 million, up 13% from the prior year, and bookings grew 11% to $573.0 million. The company also named co-founder Nir Zohar co-CEO alongside Avishai Abrahami.
Many freelancers and solo owners run their sites and online stores on Wix. The numbers show where the platform spends its money. That shapes the tools and prices those users will see in 2027.
What The Wix Report Actually Shows
Total annual recurring revenue climbed 15% to $2.021 billion. Creative Subscriptions revenue grew 14% to $406.7 million, and Business Solutions revenue rose 10% to $163.5 million. Partners revenue, which Wix ties to web professionals who build for clients, increased 11% to $212.4 million.
The fastest-moving piece is Base44, the company’s AI app builder. Its annual recurring revenue sits close to $250 million, according to the CFO. Its non-GAAP gross margin hit 58% in the quarter, up sharply from near zero in the first quarter.
Wix posted a GAAP net loss of $0.32 per share, or $13.7 million. Non-GAAP net income was $69.3 million. Free cash flow totaled $74.5 million, and operating cash flow was $78.3 million. The company ended the quarter with 4,121 employees.
Why This Matters For Self-Employed Builders
Solo founders increasingly use AI builders to ship client sites, internal tools, and small apps without hiring a developer. Abrahami said, “Base44, our biggest bet, continues to outperform expectations.” That points to more investment in AI tools for solo workers.
The margin gain matters too. CFO Lior Shemesh expects Base44’s gross margin to exit the year above 60%. A product that earns more per user may give Wix more room to hold prices steady. The company has made no pricing promise, though.
The Partners figure deserves attention if you build sites for clients. Growth there suggests agencies and freelancers remain an important channel, even as AI builders make do-it-yourself projects easier. Pros who add AI skills to their offer may stand out from clients’ own attempts.
What Self-Employed Builders Should Do Next
If you sell sites or apps to clients, test Base44 on one small project this month. Track the hours you save. Then decide whether to shorten delivery time, raise your margin, or take on one more client.
Review your own plan and add-on costs before your next renewal. Platforms that invest heavily in AI may change packaging later, so compare annual and monthly terms while today’s prices apply. Also keep a backup of your client site content outside any single builder, so a platform change never strands your work.
What To Watch Next
Wix kept its full-year outlook for revenue growth in the low-to-mid teens and bookings growth in the low teens. It expects fourth-quarter revenue growth in the low double digits. It also trimmed its free cash flow margin target to about 16%, down from the high teens. The reason is faster sales and marketing spending at Base44.
Watch whether Base44’s margin reaches the 60% goal in the next report. Also watch for any change to plan pricing. For another example of AI tools aimed at one-person companies, see Hancom’s Nomadian platform for solo founders.
