What does Webflow cost?

When it comes to building a website, there are plenty of tools and platforms available today. Webflow has established itself as a powerful option that makes it possible to create appealing and functional websites. But how much does Webflow actually cost? In this blog post, I'll take a closer look at Webflow's pricing, which can be a bit confusing at times.

‍

Webflow's pricing model

Before we get into the exact pricing, it's important to understand Webflow's pricing model. There are essentially two main costs:

1. The workspace: This is your account with Webflow. There are different subscription levels depending on your needs. You need a workspace plan especially if you want to work with Webflow as a freelancer or want to found a Webflow agency.
2. Hosting your website: In order for your created website to be accessible online, you need hosting. Webflow offers various hosting packages that offer different functionalities.

The costs vary depending on the features and scope of services that you need. However, Webflow allows you to get started with a free plan, so you can test out the platform and its features before you opt for a paid subscription.

Webflow Workspaces

Webflow's workspaces offer various subscription levels, tailored to different needs:

1. Starter Workspace: This is the free starter plan. With this plan, you can create up to two different websites and host them under a webflow.io domain.
2. Freelancer Workspace: This plan is ideal for freelancers and service providers. You can create up to ten projects, use the Content Management System (CMS), and host your websites for free under the webflow.io subdomain. You also get access to custom code features.
3. Agency Workspace: This plan is aimed at agencies, larger teams, or ambitious freelancers. It offers extended team functions, more project and user access, and other benefits. The plan allows you to have unlimited pages in your workspace and host them under webflow.io subdomains.

Workspaces allow you to create, manage, and host websites, depending on your needs and the scope of your work.

Webflow hosting

There are several benefits to hosting your website with Webflow. You can also export your Webflow website code and host it on a server of your choice. However, this is only possible for static pages without CMS elements. Webflow hosting offers fast loading time and the integration of a content delivery network (CDN), which improves the performance and accessibility of your website. An SSL certificate is also included for every website. However, the biggest advantage of hosting via Webflow is that you can easily customize and update your website as needed.

‍

Which plan do you need?

Webflow offers various hosting plans that offer different features and services. Here are the most important hosting plans and when you should consider which plan:

1. Basic hosting: This is the standard plan, which is sufficient in most cases. It offers fast load times, a content delivery network (CDN) for improved performance and accessibility, and a free SSL certificate for secure connections. The Basic plan is ideal for personal websites, blogs, or smaller business websites.
2. CMS hosting: If your website manages content via a content management system (CMS), this plan is relevant. You get all the features of Basic Hosting, as well as the ability to manage dynamic content via the CMS. This plan is good for blogs, news sites, or websites that have regularly updated content.
3. Business hosting: This plan is suitable for medium to large companies. It offers all CMS hosting functions with up to 10,000 CMS items. The plan also provides you with a data bandwidth of 400GB per month.
4. E-commerce hosting: In addition to the hosting plans, there are three other e-commerce plans available. Depending on your needs, you can adjust the e-commerce plan for your Webflow shop.

‍

Overall, the choice of hosting plan depends on your specific requirements, the size of your website, and your budget. It's important to carefully analyze your needs to choose the right plan that best fits your project.

Why prices are justified

At first glance, Webflow's prices may seem higher than some other platforms. But the comprehensive functions, the high level of usability, the powerful hosting and the ability to create appealing websites, as well as the outstanding SEO features, make the costs justified in my opinion. Another key point is the ease of customizing and updating your website. In the long run, Webflow hosting is more likely to save you money because you don't have to hire a developer for every small change. Webflow offers excellent value for money, especially for freelancers, agencies and companies that depend on professional websites.

‍

conclusion

Webflow's pricing is flexible and tailored to your individual needs. Whether you run a single website, work for clients, or run an agency, Webflow offers a range of subscription levels that offer various features and hosting options. From my point of view, Webflow is not super cheap, but it offers excellent value for money. I myself use Agency Workspace and therefore have the option to host unlimited websites via the webflow.io subdomain.
