This guide will help you navigate Webflow's pricing structure, explaining not just the what, but the why behind each option. We'll explore how different plans work together, what limitations you need to consider, and how to make the most cost-effective choices for your specific situation.
Before diving into specific plans, it's crucial to understand how Webflow structures its pricing. Unlike simpler platforms that might offer a single all-inclusive plan, Webflow separates its pricing into distinct components that work together. This separation exists because Webflow serves different types of users—from individual site owners to agencies managing multiple clients—each with unique needs.
The three fundamental components of Webflow's pricing are:
Understanding this distinction is crucial because you might need both types of plans, depending on your use case. Let's explore each component in detail.
Site plans are what you pay to keep your website live and accessible to visitors. Think of it like renting space for your website (aka web hosting)—each site you want to publish needs its own plan. This is where many users first encounter confusion: Why do I need a site plan when I'm already paying for a workspace, or the other way around?
The answer lies in Webflow's business model: site plans cover the actual hosting and ongoing costs of keeping your website accessible to visitors. These plans are structured around three main factors:
Additionally, there are other elements that can affect your site plan, such as bandwidth and add-on features, which you'll need to consider as your site grows.
Webflow offers five tiers of general site plans, each designed for specific use cases:
Starter (Free)
Perfect for learning Webflow or testing ideas, this plan includes:
While limited, this plan serves an important purpose: it lets you fully explore Webflow's capabilities before committing to a paid plan. However, it's not suitable for professional websites due to the webflow.io domain restriction and limited features.
Basic ($18/monthly)
Designed for simple static websites, this plan introduces:
This plan is ideal for brochure-style websites that don't need dynamic content. However, notice there are no CMS collections included—this is intentional, as the plan targets users who need a professional presence but don't require regular content updates.
CMS ($29/monthly)
This is where Webflow's content management capabilities come into play. The plan includes:
The CMS plan is perfect for content-driven websites like blogs, portfolios, or news sites. The inclusion of 20 CMS collections means you can create sophisticated content structures—for example, having separate collections for blog posts, team members, projects, and case studies.
Business ($49/monthly)
The Business plan isn't just a larger version of the CMS plan—it's designed for websites that need more flexibility and advanced features:
An important note about bandwidth and CMS items in the Business plan: while it starts with 100 GB and 10,000 items, these limits are expandable through add-ons, which we'll cover below.
If you're planning to sell products online, you'll need one of Webflow's specialized Ecommerce plans. These build upon the features of general site plans while adding crucial Ecommerce functionality.
Standard ($42/monthly)
The entry point for Ecommerce, including:
This plan is ideal for small stores just starting out. The 2% transaction fee is applied on top of payment processor fees (such as Stripe and PayPal), covering the additional processing and infrastructure costs associated with running an e-commerce platform.
Plus ($84/monthly)
Designed for growing stores:
This plan is suitable for expanding businesses. While the 0% transaction fee eliminates additional costs on top of Stripe and PayPal fees, it's important to consider these payment processor fees when calculating your overall expenses.
Advanced ($235/monthly)
For established online businesses:
This plan is tailored for large-scale operations. Although there are no transaction fees from Webflow, you must still account for Stripe and PayPal fees when processing payments. This ensures comprehensive coverage of all processing and infrastructure costs.
This is where Webflow's pricing structure gets interesting—and sometimes confusing 🤔. Workspace plans determine how you can create and manage your websites, and they come in two distinct flavors: Team plans and Freelancer/Agency plans.
Understanding the difference is crucial for choosing the right plan.
Core ($28/monthly)
Designed for small internal teams, this plan includes:
This plan works well for companies managing their own web presence, where the team is part of the same organization.
Growth ($60/monthly)
Built for larger organizations, this plan offers:
The key difference here isn't just the number of staging sites—it's the additional control features that larger organizations need for governance and compliance. Additionally, if you want to add more seats, it will cost per seat as detailed in the types of seats and their capabilities.
Freelancer and Agency plans are specifically designed for professionals building sites for clients. These plans integrate seamlessly with client workflows and billing.
Freelancer ($24/monthly)
Perfect for independent professionals, this plan includes:
The most important feature here is the ability to be invited to client workspaces without the client needing to pay for additional seats. This is crucial for freelancers who need to work in their clients' accounts. If you want to add more users, you'll need to purchase additional seats at the costs outlined in the types of seats and their capabilities.
Agency ($42/monthly)
Expanded capabilities for agencies, including:
The agency plan isn't just about more staging sites—it includes features specifically designed for team-based client work, like shared design systems through the libraries feature. Similarly, if you need to add more users, you'll have to purchase additional seats as detailed in the types of seats and their capabilities.
This is a common point of confusion: why choose a Team plan over a Freelancer/Agency plan or vice versa? The key lies in how you work with others:
The crucial difference? Freelancer/Agency plans include features for client collaboration and billing, while Team plans focus on internal collaboration and governance.
Here's where many users encounter their first major "gotcha" moment with Webflow: just because you have a workspace plan doesn't mean everyone can work on your projects. This is where seats come in.
Full access ($45/monthly per seat)
Full Access seats provide complete control over your Webflow dashboard, granting unrestricted access to all features inside Webflow Designer and all site settings. This level of access is ideal for team members who need to fully manage and develop your Webflow projects.
Critical note: Even with multiple Full Access seats, team members cannot work on the same project simultaneously unless you have an Enterprise plan. This is a crucial limitation that often surprises users. The seats allow team members to work on different projects concurrently, not collaborate on the same project in real-time.
Limited access ($19/monthly per seat)
Limited Access seats offer restricted permissions, enabling users to edit content (text and images) and build pages using pre-designed components without access to the full design system. This is perfect for team members who need to manage content but do not require full design capabilities.
Free seats
Free seats are designed for stakeholders and clients who need to review and comment on projects without making any direct changes. This allows them to provide feedback while not actually applying changes or making site modifications.
Important: Whether you are using Freelancer or Agency plans, each plan includes one user by default. If you need more users, you'll have to purchase additional seats at the respective costs mentioned above.
As your website grows, you might need to expand beyond your plan's basic limits. Webflow offers several types of expansions:
Bandwidth expansion allows your website to handle increased traffic by providing additional data transfer capacity. Keep in mind this add-on is exclusively available with the Business site plan ($49/monthly base).
To understand if you need more bandwidth, use this simple calculation:Average page size × Monthly visitors = Required bandwidth
For example:
You can also monitor your current site bandwidth usage with the Site usage feature inside the Webflow project settings.
The Business plan ($49/monthly base) starts with 10,000 CMS items, but you can expand this capacity based on your needs:
Each expansion includes all Business plan features while providing increased capacity for your dynamic content needs.
Webflow provides optional feature add-ons that enhance your website's functionality and performance. These add-ons are designed to help you optimize user experience, analyze site performance, and reach a global audience effectively.
Optimize is an advanced optimization suite that empowers you to maximize conversions through rapid insights, tailored visitor experiences, and AI-powered delivery. This add-on includes:
Optimize is ideal for businesses that rely on small improvements in conversion rates to impact their bottom line significantly. However, it's usually only cost-effective for sites with substantial traffic, so if your business website is just starting up, it's probably not worth it yet. Learn more about Optimize.
Analyze is a native analytics solution that provides comprehensive insights into your site's performance. This add-on offers:
Pricing is based on monthly sessions and scales with your site's traffic:
While Analyze is more expensive than using Google Analytics (which is free), its tight integration with Webflow can be invaluable for teams that need quick access to insights without switching platforms. Learn more about Analyze.
Localization allows you to customize your site for a worldwide audience, ensuring that visitors from different regions have a tailored experience. This add-on includes:
Essential: $12/monthly per locale
Advanced: $35/monthly per locale
If needed, there is also an optional add-on for the Webflow Enterprise plans, in case you want to use Enterprise while also activating Localization.
Each of these add-ons is priced per site, so factor this in when calculating total costs. Learn more about Localization.
Webflow Enterprise is a customized plan designed for large organizations that require specific functions and advanced features not available in standard plans. This plan is not for everyone; it's tailored for companies with substantial budgets and complex needs, ensuring they can build, manage, and optimize sophisticated web experiences at scale.
