Wix Harmony and Wix Studio 2 share a foundation and an AI assistant. They're built for different people.
Our post Wix Harmony vs Wix Studio compared Harmony with the Studio Editor. Since 10 November there's a new editor to weigh up, and a new route between the two. This post puts Harmony next to Studio Two.
TL;DR
Harmony is for people building and running their own site. Studio Two is for agencies, designers and developers building sites for clients.
Both have Aria. Studio Two runs Aria 2.0, with Plan Mode, Skills and code.
Harmony doesn't take custom code. Studio Two has React and TypeScript in a code workspace.
Since 10 November you can create a Studio Two version of a Harmony site, and the Harmony site stays live until you publish it.
Pick Harmony if you'll build and run the site yourself, and Studio Two if a professional is building it or it needs custom features.
Wix Studio 2 or Wix Harmony: the short answer
Wix Harmony is for people building and running their own site. Wix Studio 2, which Wix calls Studio Two, is for agencies, designers and developers building sites for clients. Both have Wix's AI assistant, Aria. Studio Two adds custom code, a code workspace and agency tools, and Harmony keeps things simple.
That matters more than it used to, because Wix built them on the same foundation. Since 10 November, a Harmony site can be brought into Studio Two, so a site can start simple and move up later without starting again.
What is Wix Harmony?
Wix Harmony is Wix's AI-first editor, released in January 2026. You can drag and drop everything yourself, ask Aria to build or fix things for you, or mix the two. It comes with templates and ready-made sections, and you can edit a site live with other people.
Wix is clear about one limit: Harmony doesn't support custom code. If you want to build with Velo or Wix's JavaScript SDK, Wix points you to Wix Studio or the Wix Editor.
What is Wix Studio 2?
Wix Studio 2 is Wix's new professional editor, released to Wix Partners on 2 November 2026 and launched publicly on 10 November. It has an AI layer, a freely movable canvas for precise design and a React code layer. You switch between them as the job needs. Wix rebuilt Aria for Studio Two using what it learned from Harmony's users, and calls the new version Aria 2.0.
Wix Studio 2 vs Wix Harmony, side by side
Harmony is simpler and has no code. Studio Two gives you more control, custom code and agency tools.
Wix Harmony | Wix Studio 2 | |
Made for | People building their own site | Agencies, designers and developers |
Released | January 2026 | November 2026, rolling out over the coming weeks |
AI | Aria: chat, generate pages and sections, fix layouts | Aria 2.0: Plan Mode, three homepage directions, then every page built, plus Skills, code, data connections and logic |
Design control | Drag and drop with templates and sections | Movable canvas, exact sizes, grids, site-wide breakpoints, Auto Mobile |
Custom code | Not supported | React and TypeScript in a browser version of VS Code, with npm |
Export the site as code | No | Yes, in Beta, with limits |
Agency tools | None | Studio workspace, client accounts, agency knowledge for Aria |
Working together | Live editing with people you invite | Studio workspace roles. Concurrent editing in Studio Two is announced, not yet documented |
Business apps (Stores, Bookings, forms) | Yes | Yes |
CMS | Not yet in Harmony (Wix lists it as coming) | Yes, through data sources |
Moving a site to the other | Harmony to Studio Two: live since 10 November (see below) | Studio Two to Harmony: not documented yet |
Can you move a Wix Harmony site to Wix Studio 2?
Yes. Since 10 November you can create a Studio Two version of a Harmony site. In Harmony, open Site actions and choose Create a version on Studio 2. The design and data move across, and the Harmony site stays live until you publish the Studio Two version. Studio Two is still rolling out, so check the option is on your account first.
Going back is less clear. At the launch, Wix's CEO said a site can be opened in Harmony again, but we haven't found a Wix doc that confirms it, so treat it as his claim for now.
That makes Harmony a reasonable place to start a simple site you'll run yourself. If the business grows and needs custom features, the site can move up to Studio Two instead of being rebuilt.
Aria in Harmony vs Aria 2.0 in Studio 2
Both editors put Aria in the corner, but Studio Two's version does more of the build.
In Harmony, you ask Aria for help on the element you're working on: generate a design, fix a layout, write text.
In Studio Two, Aria can plan the whole site with you first. You attach brand files, references and business documents, then pick one of three homepage directions, and Aria builds the rest of the pages.
Skills are new in Studio Two. You save a standard or a workflow once and reuse it across sites. Check who else can see a skill before you put client details in it. Our guide to Aria skills in Studio Two explains how they work.
Code. Aria in Studio Two writes React components, functions and backend code that stay visible and editable.
AI can still get a layout or a fact wrong, in either editor, so we check every page Aria builds before a client sees it.
Which should you choose?
Pick Harmony if you'll build and run the site yourself, and Studio Two if a professional is building it or it needs custom features.
If you're | Choose | Why |
A small business building your own site | Wix Harmony | Templates, Aria and drag and drop, with no code to look after |
A small business that wants us to build it | Wix Studio or Studio 2 | You get a designed site and handover, and you still edit text and blog posts yourself |
A business that needs custom features, integrations or logic | Wix Studio 2, or Wix Studio for Velo-heavy work | Harmony doesn't take custom code |
An agency or freelancer | Wix Studio 2 for new builds | Workspace, client accounts, Aria skills and code |
On Harmony and outgrowing it | Studio 2, by creating a Studio Two version | The design and data move across without a rebuild |
How much do Harmony and Studio 2 cost?
Harmony sites use Wix's own website plans, and Studio sites use Studio plans. Wix hasn't published separate Studio Two pricing. Current prices are on Wix's website plans page and its Studio plans page.
For a business, the bigger cost is usually time. A Harmony site you build yourself costs your hours. A Studio 2 site built by an agency costs a fixed project price, and our Wix Studio 2 page explains how we price builds.
