Wix auction apps compared (2026)
By Kayabyte
Disclosure: I make Live Auctions & Bidding, one of the apps below. I’ve tried to describe every app as fairly as I can, including where mine is not the best choice. Prices, ratings and review counts come from each app’s page on the Wix App Market and were checked on 29 October 2026. Where I couldn’t tell, the table says “not checked” instead of guessing.
Wix has no built-in auction feature. Its help center lists selling products by auction as a request that is collecting votes, and points to a third-party app (Wix request page). In 2026 there are four auction apps on the App Market, plus mine.
The short answer
- You want the app with the most users and the lowest price, and you’re fine with basic features: Auction Store, $6.99 a month, 4.7 from 75 reviews.
- You want to try auctions at no cost, for one item: Auction Manager for Stores has a free plan for 1 auction, though it is new and has one review. Mine also has a free plan for one auction at a time.
- You want guests to bid without signing up, a live countdown, anti-sniping and payment in your own checkout: Live Auctions & Bidding (mine). Check the limits below first.
- You already use another app’s auction setup: read its recent reviews before you move.
Comparison table
| App | Reviews (rating) | Price (as listed) | Free plan | Trial | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Auction Store (MarketPushApps) | 75 (4.7) | $6.99 a month, one plan | No | None listed | Most reviewed. Some reviews ask for a countdown with seconds, and one says it forces visitors to sign up as members |
| Product Auction (Webkul) | 38 (3.9) | About $10 a month on the first plan, higher plans listed | Not checked | 5 days | Works on Wix Stores products. Some reviews say you set up a new product in Wix first, and a few report support problems |
| Auctions (WD Strategies) | None yet | $14.99 and $24.99 a month | No | 3 days | Published in August 2026 |
| Auction Manager for Stores (Hi-Konsult) | 1 (1.0) | Free for 1 auction; $6.50 and $12 a month | Yes | Not checked | Published in September 2026 |
| Live Auctions & Bidding (mine, no reviews yet) | None yet | Free; Pro $11.99 a month, or $9.99 billed yearly | Yes, 1 auction at a time | 14 days on Pro | Guest bidding, soft close, sealed bids, winner pays at your Wix checkout, 11 languages. Does not need Wix Stores |
“A month” is the price the App Market shows. Review averages are out of 5. The App Market’s own review count can differ a little from the number of reviews it lists, so treat the counts as approximate.
Auction Store (MarketPushApps)
The best-known option, with 75 reviews at 4.7 and a single $6.99 plan. That makes it the cheapest and the most proven. The recent reviews I read mention missing basics: a countdown that goes down to the second, and visitors being asked to sign up as members before they can bid. Neither may matter to you, and the vendor may have changed these since. Check the latest reviews on its page.
Fits best: a small seller who wants a low price and a track record, and whose bidders are happy to sign up.
Product Auction (Webkul)
Webkul’s app is the one Wix’s own help page names as the workaround. It is built around Wix Stores products. Its page lists a 5-day trial and prices from about $10 a month. Its rating is 3.9 from 38 reviews, and some of the reviews describe setup that happens in Wix rather than in the app’s own dashboard, and slow support. Read the recent ones.
Fits best: a store that wants auctions tied to its existing Wix Stores catalog.
Auctions (WD Strategies)
Newer, with no reviews yet and a 3-day trial. At $14.99 and $24.99 a month it is the most expensive of the four. I haven’t tested it, so I can’t say how it works.
Auction Manager for Stores (Hi-Konsult)
Also new, with one review at 1.0. It has a free plan for 1 auction and paid plans at $6.50 and $12 a month. Worth a look if you want to try the idea at no cost, but check the review first.
Live Auctions & Bidding (mine)
Live Auctions & Bidding runs on your own site with or without Wix Stores.
- Visitors bid as guests with a name and email. A one-time email check on the first bid stops fake bids.
- Price and countdown update live, to the second.
- Soft close moves the end when a late bid arrives. Sealed bids for silent auctions.
- The winner gets an email with a link to your own Wix checkout, with your shipping rates, taxes and payment methods.
- Dashboard: every bid, remove a bid, block a bidder, see who won and who paid. Bidders are added to your Contacts with an “Auction bidder” label.
- Pro: unlimited auctions, hidden reserve, Buy now, max bids, scheduled starts, second-chance offers, members-only bidding, CSV export.
- No commission on sales.
Where it’s not the best fit:
- You want the lowest price. Auction Store costs less, and Pro here is $11.99 a month.
- You want a vendor with a long track record. It is new and has no reviews yet.
- You need card pre-authorisation. Wix offers no way to hold a card in advance, so no app can charge the winner at the end. The winner pays after the auction through a link, and a winner who doesn’t pay means relisting or, on Pro, a second-chance offer. The other apps have the same limit, as far as I could tell.
- You want to start from an existing Wix Stores product. In mine, you create the auction in the app’s dashboard and add the photos there.
- You run several auctions at once on the Free plan. Free allows one at a time.
The Free plan runs one auction at a time with unlimited bids. Pro is $11.99 a month, or $9.99 a month billed yearly, with a 14-day free trial. See it on the Wix App Market.
Whatever you pick
- Read the newest reviews, not only the average. Look for mentions of support, countdowns, sign-up and payment.
- Run a test auction with a friend as the second bidder, including the winner’s payment.
- Check how the winner pays and what happens if they don’t.
- Write your rules for the end time, payment deadline and shipping.
- Look at what the app stores about bidders, and read its privacy policy.
