PayDash vs Wix for a website with booking
Wix is a general website builder: its free plan can't take bookings or payments, and Wix Bookings starts on its Core plan. PayDash is a website built around booking: the website is free, and online booking with deposits, invoicing, card payments and text reminders start at $19 CAD a month. Choose Wix for full design freedom or an online store; choose PayDash when taking bookings and getting paid is the point of the site.
