Weebly vs WordPress

• WordPress is an open source and free content
  management system based on PHP and MySQL. Before
  considering to migrate your site from weebly to
  WordPress you must know the pros and cons of both
  of them. Here is the brief comparison between
  Weebly and WordPress

• Hosting Weebly is a completely self hosted
  service, i.e you do not need to buy any separate
  server hosting whereas WordPress is a free
  software for which you require a server to host
  and your own domain as well. Therefore, In case
  of weebly you will have to abide by the rules and
  settings set on the weebly server, whereas in
  case of WordPress you will be free to setup the
  server as per your requirments
• Drag Drop Weebly comes with beautiful themes
  and with default drag and drop feature whereas
  for WordPress, though there are many free themes
  present in WordPress Theme Directory, but the
  drag and drop option is not available by default.
  You can however use many of the available drag
  and drop plugins which can provide similar
  functionality as the drag and drop feature
  available in weebly. Also this feature will be
  made default in the new Gutenberg editor in the
  future WordPress updates.

• While Weebly does allow you to setup an online
  store, but it gives very basic features and there
  are a lot of limitations to the customization of
  the store. Also there is a transaction fee for
  every sale. You can add coupons, customize
  receipts,etc using these plugins. Also, there is
  no transaction cost associated with them.
• No Plugins Though there are built in features to
  create Online stores, contact forms, etc by
  default in Weebly, but if you require a custom
  functionality in weebly, then you might be in
  trouble. On the other hand WordPress, has many
  features (almost everything one can think of) in
  the form of plugins available in the WordPress
  plugin directory. You can also create your own
  custom plugin easily for WordPress

Things You Need to Consider Before Moving From
Weebly

• Drag-and-drop Interface Weebly is favored for
  its affective drag-and-drop interface. While
  moving from weebly to WordPress you will loose
  that weebly feature. But still, you may use page
  builder plugins available for the WordPress as an
  alternative. WordPress provides drag-and-drop
  page builder themes and plugins which you can use
  as an alternative to weeblys interface. For
  Example Divi Theme, which provides powerful and
  flexible page-builder. There are various plugins
  available like wpbakerys visual composer. As
  mentioned earlier as well, with WordPress 5.0
  there will be a drag and drop editor included by
  default called Gueternberg

• Themes Although, WordPress is loaded with
  number of themes and themes are available for all
  purposes but weebly provides small businesses a
  good looking themes. Weeblys themes are much
  more limited than WordPress but it provides a
  good-looking site right out of the box. Also
  there is no way to migrate theme, so, to get the
  same look and feel you need to have a look at
  available themes for WordPress. You can also
  recreate the theme using a flexible theme like
  Divi.
