Introduction

When it comes to cloud-based website design tools, it certainly doesn’t get much better than Webflow. This SaaS app, often used to build and host websites, has massively grown in popularity thanks to its no-nonsense online visual editor.

Thanks to Webflow, you don’t have to be a coding expert to build a website. In fact, all you need is to sign up for a Webflow plan. Because of this straightforwardness, Webflow is used in a wide array of different industries – from eCommerce retailers to healthcare companies. According to the latest stats, Webflow evidently powers more than a whopping 100,000 websites worldwide.

Despite this truth, there are some things we should mention. For one thing, you need to pay separately for workspaces and site plans and second, Webflow pricing plans can be extremely confusing. 

However, don’t worry – with our handy guide to Webflow pricing, you’ve got nothing to fear. Read on as we break down everything you need to know about Webflow prices.

Key points

  • Webflow pricing plans consist of two different services – Webflow Workspaces (a shared space in which you can design your site) and Webflow Site Plans (the hosting and management of the site).
  • Webflow Workspaces are divided into two – there are workspaces for in-house team members and workspaces for freelancers and small website design agencies. There are several Webflow pricing plans for each of these.
  • Similarly, Webflow Site Plans are divided into General Plans and eCommerce Plans. Similar to Webflow Workspaces, there are several pricing plans available for each.
  • Between the Site Plans and Workspaces, Webflow can be very expensive – which is why it’s key to get the best possible deals.

Webflow pricing plans, in a nutshell

At first glance, it can be hard to make sense of Webflow pricing plans. The first thing you need to know about your Webflow plan is that you’ll be paying for two different services that serve different functions – Webflow Workspaces (project management) and Site Plans (website hosting).

Unfortunately, it doesn’t end there. Because Webflow can be incredibly specific, Site Plans are divided into General Sites and eCommerce Sites.

The good news? Once you’ve mastered the basics, wrapping your head around Webflow pricing plans will be a piece of cake. Let’s start by looking at your different options for Webflow Workspaces. 

Webflow Workspaces – how much do they cost?

Introduced in February 2022, Webflow Workspaces allow you to create a shared space in which you can design a website with your colleagues or clients. In short, they improve collaboration within a team by letting everyone work on the same project at the same time.

Thanks to Webflow Workspaces, site transfer flow has been improved to the point of seamlessness. On top of that, they allow teams to create, buy, and use templates to create websites more efficiently. Since each workspace is its own sandbox, web design projects become easier than ever to manage. 

Webflow Workspaces can massively simplify your project workflows.

There are different Webflow Workspaces available depending on the kind of work you do – workspaces for in-house teams, freelancers, and contracted agencies.

Workspaces for in-house teams

Webflow Workspaces for in-house teams are specially designed for teams that work together on an ongoing basis. Scalability is their calling card. As your team improves its web design project, it can scale its workspace up to bring in new features that will take the project to the next level.

There are four different Webflow pricing plans for in-house workspaces: Starter, Core, Growth, and Enterprise. This is everything you need to know about each of them:

StarterCoreGrowthEnterprise

PriceFree$19 per seat per month if billed yearly, $28 if monthly$49 per seat per month if billed yearly, $60 if monthlyQuote only

The in-house free plan (Starter) is mostly recommended for individual users being trained on how to use Webflow. While the Core plan will suit the vast majority of small teams working on ad-hoc projects, the Growth plan is specially designed for larger teams that want to scale up their project as they progress with it. On the other hand, the Enterprise plan is for large corporations only, and there is no fixed price for it. 

Workspaces for freelancers and agencies

This version of Webflow Workspaces does what it says on the tin. Its main targets are freelance web designers and smaller design agencies working for larger corporations on an ongoing basis or a one-off project. This is why most of these workspaces offer an unlimited number of guests.

There are three different Webflow pricing plans for this kind of workspace. The Starter plan is free, but it only allows you to have one seat, and it’s not recommended for commercial projects. The Freelancer plan gives you up to three seats and lots more handy features, such as unlimited guests or HTML export. Similarly, the Agency plan includes all the features in the Freelancer plan but with an expanded number of seats.

That is everything you need to know about Webflow workspaces. However, our Webflow pricing guide doesn’t end here. Now, it’s time to have a look at Webflow hosting prices – enter Site Plans.

Webflow Site Plans – how much are they?

In a nutshell, Webflow Site Plans are what enable you to link the Webflow website that you’ll build with your own Internet domain. For this, you’ll need to pay for a Site Plan for each website you want to run. Webflow hosting prices are included in these Site Plans, so it is compulsory that you pay for them if you want your website to go live.

Explicitly, this means that you need both a Site Plan and a Workspace Plan to run a website on Webflow. The Site Plan is what allows you to build your site, and the Workspace Plan is what allows you to manage and host it. You can build a website without a Site Plan, but you won’t be able to run it.

Like Webflow Workspaces, Site Plans can also be divided into two – General Site Plans and eCommerce Site Plans. 

Webflow General Site Plans

General Site Plans suit the vast majority of websites that don’t require eCommerce features. For example, you can use your General Site Plan to create a blog or a site with information and contact details about your company. As long as you’re not an online retailer, this is the plan for you.

Webflow General Site Plans come with a wide range of different features, depending on how much you pay.

Webflow General allows you to create a website without eCommerce features.

PriceFree$14 per month if billed yearly, $18 if monthly$23 per month if billed yearly, $29 if monthly$39 per month if billed yearly, $40 if monthlyQuote only

The General Site free plan is recommended only for individuals, students, and people starting to learn how to manage a website on Webflow for commercial purposes. It can also be used for testing websites. In brief, if you want to host a professional-looking website, you’re better off with the Basic plan, although it is recommended only for very simple sites.

If your plan is to launch a content-driven site, the CMS plan is the one to go for. That way, you’ll be able to have a large number of content editors, and your bandwidth will handle more traffic. 

And what if you have a medium-sized business and your website is getting a lot of traffic? In that case, you want to go with the Business plan. And if you manage a very large company with offices all across the world, you’ll be able to ask for a quote for the Enterprise plan.

Webflow eCommerce Site Plans

One of the best things about Webflow is that it allows you to build a website that is tailor-made to get more online sales. And that is exactly what the eCommerce Site Plans are for. The first thing you need to know about these plans is that, unlike the General Site Plans, there’s no free option or Webflow student discount available here.

Webflow eCommerce offers a seamless way of opening an online retail business.

Because these eCommerce plans are specially designed to help your website make more money, Webflow hosting prices for eCommerce sites are higher than for General websites. Regardless, it’s also important to note that eCommerce plans include most of the features available in the General Site Plans.

There are three different types of eCommerce Site Plans:

How much is Webflow’s eCommerce Plan?$29 per month if billed yearly, $42 if monthly$74 per month if billed yearly, $84 if monthly$212 per month if billed yearly, $235 if monthly

So, what Webflow plan should you go for? In the end, it all comes down to your business volume. If you have just opened your business and aren’t sure of what your sales numbers are gonna be, stick with the Standard plan. Its transaction fee is very small, and it includes most of the essential features that your website will need, such as social media integration and smart payment options.

However, high-volume retailers with sizable sales volumes should go with the Plus plan. It is more expensive than the Standard plan, but it allows you to open ten staff accounts, and it comes with the same features as the Business General Site Plan. The Advanced plan is essentially a turbo-charged version of the Plus plan, so you should only consider it if your company is an established enterprise.

As can be seen, Webflow is everything but cheap. Whether you want to host a blog or an eCommerce site, you could end up spending thousands of dollars a year between your Workspace Plan and your Site Plan.
