The short verdict
- Webflow charges in two parts: a site plan for each live site, and a workspace for the people who build and edit.
- Most small marketing sites with a blog need the plan that includes the CMS.
- Names, prices and limits change, so check Webflow’s pricing page before deciding.
01Two kinds of plan
Webflow’s pricing confuses people because there are two separate bills, for two separate things.
The site plan pays for one website to be live on your domain: hosting, the CMS, forms, bandwidth and so on. Each published site needs its own.
The workspace plan pays for the people and the place where sites are built: seats for designers and editors, the number of unhosted projects, and team features. Freelancers and studios have their own workspace types.
We are deliberately not quoting prices here. Webflow updates its plans and numbers, and a blog post with old prices does more harm than good. Check the current pricing page, and look at the yearly option, which is cheaper per month.
02Site plans, roughly
| Plan type | Suits | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | Simple sites with no CMS content | No blog or collections |
| CMS | Most small marketing sites with a blog or case studies | CMS item and collection limits |
| Business | Larger content sites and higher traffic | Cost, if you do not need the limits |
| Enterprise | Large organisations, custom needs | Priced by quote |
Ecommerce has its own plans if you sell products directly through Webflow.
03What to check before you pick
- CMS items. Count blog posts, case studies, team members and categories, then add a year of growth. Each one is an item.
- Collections. Each content type, like posts, authors and categories, is a collection. Plans cap how many.
- Form submissions. If forms are a main channel, check the monthly limit.
- Bandwidth and traffic. Usually fine for small sites. Large video files are better hosted elsewhere.
- Localisation. If you need the site in several languages, that is a separate add-on.
- Editors. How many people need to edit content, and which seat type each needs.
“Pick the plan for the content you will have in a year, not the content you have today.”
04What is included that you might be paying for now
Hosting on a global CDN, SSL certificates, automatic backups, form handling and a CMS are part of the site plan. If your current AI-built site uses separate services for each of those, add them up before comparing.
05Who pays whom
When we build a site, the site plan is in your own Webflow account and Webflow bills you directly. That way the site is yours from day one, and nothing breaks if you stop working with us. We cover this in more detail in the post on who owns your site.
06Questions people ask
Can I start on a cheaper plan and upgrade?
Yes. You can change plans as the site grows. Make sure the starting plan covers what you need on launch day.
Do I need a paid workspace to edit content?
It depends on the seat types available and how many editors you have. Check the current seat options in your workspace settings.
Does Webflow charge more as traffic grows?
Plans include traffic limits. Most small sites stay well within them. Webflow will tell you if you approach a limit.
Which plan does my site need?
