The short answer
Jimdo and Wix split the six-judge panel by criterion. Wix leads the build side: six judges lean Wix on editor and design (8.8 vs 5.2), SEO and marketing (8.8 vs 6.7) and hosting and portability (6.5 vs 4.0); forms and business draws five Wix leans and one tie (8.3 vs 7.2). Jimdo leads the commercial side: six judges lean Jimdo on pricing transparency (7.2 vs 4.8) and legal compliance (6.0 vs 4.7) — five published plans, Free €0 to Unlimited €50 per month, VAT included, against Wix's discounted subscriptions auto-renewing without notice at the full then-current fee. Sovereignty sits close (3.7 vs 4.2, two lean Wix, four tie): Jimdo's data residency attribute reads "eu only" versus Wix's "us default", and both carry US Cloud Act subprocessor exposure. The four computed weighted totals lean Wix, closest 5.5 vs 5.8 for the data protection officer.
