How to Understand Webflow Pricing

Even though Webflow makes website building easy and convenient, many new users are confused about Webflow pricing. However, once you break down the pricing system, it’s not that difficult, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do in this article.

Since Webflow changes its pricing structure and prices for every plan from time to time, we’ll make sure to update this article whenever that happens. That way, you’ll always have an in-depth overview of all options.

Once you see the Webflow pricing breakdown in this article, you’ll have no trouble choosing the best option for you that will help you get the most from your website development process.

There are three overall pricing plan categories that are further divided into separate pricing plans and packages. At least the second two.

The Webflow plan categories are:

• Free plan – The starting plan is activated automatically upon joining Webflow. It’s also commonly referred to as the starting plan. Technically, it is considered a site plan, but I will explain that later in detail.
• Site plans – These are for anyone who wants to have their site hosted on Webflow and use its CMS service and other benefits. Site plans also have a subgroup of e-commerce site plans, tailored for those who want online shops.
• Workspaces – These are made for in-house or freelance designer and developer teams who want to harness the power of the Webflow toolbox. 

Before I break down the pricing, take a look at Uros, Flow Ninja Founder and CEO discuss Webflow pricing in a YouTube video. Unlike this article, which is a detailed overview of all features and pricing plans, the video focuses on actual businesses and talks about the best pricing plans for different business types.

Webflow Pricing Explained

Before we break down every pricing plan and help you pick the best one for your business, let’s take a short overview of the three plan categories you’ll find on Webflow.

Free Plan

Webflow's free plan lets the user assume full control of the design and CMS of their website. You’ll also gain access to 100+ hours of tutorials on building and publishing a website successfully. Mind you, this is not a trial plan, which means that you could use it as long as you need.

Of course, many features offered by Webflow will be locked for free plan users. The main feature is the ability to use a custom domain. If you decide to go live with a project, your site will be published to webflow.io. Here’s an example of one such link. Also, you can only start two projects with this plan, so to unlock more projects, you’ll have to buy one of the paid plans. 

Here's an overview of the limits of the free plan:

• 2 pages per project (this only counts towards the landing pages, not template pages, which are created from your CMS, such as individual blog posts)
• 50 CMS items
• 20 CMS collections
• 50 form submissios (lifetime)
• 1GB bandwidth
• 1K visitors limit
• Free localization preview

Site Plans

A site plan lets you connect a custom domain. In this case, site plans are hosting plans provided by Webflow.

However, to keep up with the official terminology used on the official pricing page, we’ll stick to the site plan as the official name. 

Pricing starts at $14 for the basic package, and it’s ideal for personal sites, simple projects, or landing pages.

If you’re running an online shop, you can pick one of the ecommerce plans, which are also a sub-category of site plans, as they’ll allow you to use checkouts on your domain.

Webflow will also supply you with a range of tools and features related to marketing, payments, management, and more. Ecommerce plans start at $29.

October 2023 update: Webflow introduced localization options which comes with separate pricing plans. Check the Webflow Localization Pricing Plans section for more information.

Workspaces

The main difference between site plans and workspace plans is that the latter is charged per account rather than per website. These are intended for developers and designers aiming to provide Webflow development services to clients. Alternatively, they are used by in-house teams for internal purposes.

The packages are, therefore, divided into in-house and freelance/agency sets.

The starter individual plan is free of charge, and that’s basically the free plan you get after opening an account. However, if you decide to get paid in-house pack or opt for one of the freelancer/agency plans, you’ll unlock additional features. The pricing starts at $19 a month for the in-house core plan or $16 for the freelancer package.

Paid features include code export, project transfers, white labeling, site password protection, and much more. The freelancer plan starts at $16 a month for freelancers and $19 a month for in-house teams. If you have a big in-house team, you need to consider using the growth plan, which starts at $49 a month per seat. Alternatively, if you have a web design and development agency, picking the agency pack is the best choice, and it starts at $35 a month per seat.

We’ll break down each of these plans in detail below.

Webflow Pricing Breakdown 

Now that you’re familiar with each plan category let’s further break down these pricing plans to help you pick the ideal option that’ll meet your requirements. 

Site Plans – A Detailed Overview

First of all, let’s make an in-depth overview of the site plans for personal sites, blogs, and business websites.

It’s divided into the four following packages:

• Basic

When compared to the CMS site plan, the scope of existing features is increased. The monthly price is $39 if paid annually or $49 if paid monthly.

Moreover, you can manually select 100, 150, 200, 300, 400 or 500GB of bandwidth. The price also changes. In other words, the lowest price is $39 a month (10K CMS, 100GB bandwidth). The largest is $249 (20K CMS, 500 GB bandwidth).

CMS vs Business Site Plan — CMS Features Compared

Many Webflow newcomers usually decide which site plan is the best for them, especially when they have to choose between the CMS and business plan. To help you choose, we decided to compare all CMS features you’ll get with each plan.

Overall, the CMS plan is for content-driven webistes, and many smaller websites should have their needs met with it. On the other side, Webflow has made the Business plan much more flexible by allowing you to choose the mumber of CMS items and bandwidth, meaning you can adapt it based on your business needs.

Enterprise Site Plan

The enterprise plan is mainly aimed at enterprise companies that need to use all of Webflow’s exclusive features. What makes it stand out from the pack is that it’s much more customizable so that you can tailor it to your brand’s needs and goals. The pricing for the enterprise plan isn’t stated. Instead, you’ll have to get in touch with the Webflow sales team and get a quotation based on your requirements. If you’re interested in having a Webflow enterprise team create a site for you, check out our team at Flow Ninja.

Site Ecommerce Plans – In-Depth Analysis

Site plans for websites that include an online store are simply referred to as ecommerce plans. There are three different packs you can select here:

• Standard
• Plus
• Advanced

Let’s see what each of them offers.

Standard Ecommerce Site Plan

This is an ideal plan for a new business that still doesn’t have a huge customer base or many items on its offer. The monthly subscription is $29 if billed annually or $42 if billed monthly.

This package is equal to the CMS plan described in the site plans section, but you’ll receive additional features that will help you successfully run an online store.

The main difference between the three ecommerce plans is the number of items you can list in your online shop. The standard plan limits this to 500 items and 2,000 CMS items.

In addition to that, you’ll get the following design features:

Moreover, you’ll receive all design features as in the standard plan, with the main difference being the removed Webflow brand from the footer of the emails you’ll send to your customers.

The payment & marketing features are also the same as the standard plan, but there’s one huge benefit: no transaction fees.

The Plus plan users can make up to 10 staff accounts and have up to 20,000 paid user accounts (paid user accounts is actually the same for all three plans).

Reasons to Use Webflow

Purchasing a plan isn’t just about fitting it to your budget but picking the option to help you maximize your use of Webflow. That’s why it’s important to look past the price and explore the details of every plan.

There are many reasons Webflow is the smartest choice compared to its competitors, such as Wix or WordPress. Here’s a short overview.

• Clean code — If you compare the underlying code of websites created with WP or Wix to Webflow code, you’ll notice that the latter has a much cleaner code structure, making its websites faster, better, and easier to export.
• Great for SEO — Webflow was built with SEO in mind, and users can optimize their sites using various options to ensure they’re hitting first pages on search engines.
• Instant loading — Webflow really cares about the loading speed of your sites, which is not only important for SEO but also for the overall user experience.
• Great responsiveness — Adapting your website for mobile devices has never been easier, as Webflow lets you quickly edit elements on the site to fit them on different screen sites.
• Integration rather than plugins and updates — WordPress and similar CMS/site builders require you to install external community-built plugins to achieve the desired look or functionality on your website, and these plugins are often messing with your site’s code, making it slow and full of bugs. Webflow’s entire toolbox is developed internally, and all tools work flawlessly with each other, ensuring that there aren’t any bottlenecks or slowdowns.

Finally, if you have a team of developers and designers interested in working with Webflow, choose the team or the enterprise team plan. Flow Ninja is Webflow’s enterprise partner, having offered our services to many enterprise clients around the globe. You can learn about some of our successful projects here.
