The short verdict
Cabin space: easyJet allows the larger cabin bag by volume (56 × 45 × 25 cm) against Wizz Air (55 × 40 × 23 cm).
Cabin weight: easyJet allows more cabin weight (15.0 kg vs 10.0 kg).
Both airlines count baggage differently across fares, so compare the checked tables before you book the cheaper ticket: a fare with no bag included can end up costing more.
