Webflow sends you two bills, and most buyers only notice one of them until the first invoice arrives. A Site plan pays for hosting a single website: domain, bandwidth, CMS and pages. A Workspace plan pays for the people and tools that build sites: seats, staging, code export and shared libraries. You need at least one of each, and they're priced on different axes. Per site for hosting, per seat for people.
Webflow also reshuffled its site plans this year. The old CMS and Business tiers are gone, replaced by a single Premium plan with bandwidth you scale up, and there's a new Team platform plan at $2,500 a month for larger organizations. Here's how it all fits together.
Short answer: A small marketing site with a blog needs one Premium site plan ($25 a month billed yearly) plus Limited seats ($15 each) for content editors. Skip the paid Workspace plans unless you need staging, custom code or code export. If you need SSO, budget for Enterprise; it isn't available below that.
Site plans: paying per website
Prices from Webflow's pricing page, billed yearly, checked October 13, 2026. Monthly billing costs more; Webflow says yearly saves up to 40%.
| Starter | Basic | Premium | Team | Enterprise | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price | Free | $15/mo | From $25/mo | $2,500/mo, annual contract | Custom |
| Domain | webflow.io only | Custom | Custom | Custom | Custom |
| CMS items | 50 | None | 20,000 | 20,000 | Custom |
| Static pages | 2 | 300 | 300+ | Not listed | Custom |
| Bandwidth | 1GB | 10GB | 50GB and up | Not listed | Custom |
| Form submissions | 50 | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited |
Starter is a sandbox. Two pages on a webflow.io subdomain is enough to learn the tool, not to run a business.
Basic at $15 is for brochure sites with no blog or CMS: a custom domain, up to 300 static pages and 10GB of bandwidth. If you'll never publish articles, case studies or job listings, it's a fair price.
Premium at $25 is where most business sites land. It adds the CMS (20,000 items across 40 collections), site search, form file uploads, code components, and 50GB of bandwidth to start. Bandwidth is the variable: each extra 50GB adds $20 a month on yearly billing ($30 monthly), 100GB adds $40, and so on. A busy content site can easily double the headline price.
Team at $2,500 a month is a platform plan for organizations running sites at scale. It bundles localization, publishing workflows, single-page publishing, a site activity log and API, priority support, 5 full seats, 5 limited seats and up to 100 free reviewer seats. Enterprise adds granular permissions, custom roles, advanced governance and a dedicated account manager.
Ecommerce is separate again: the Standard ecommerce plan starts at $29 a month billed yearly with 500 items and a 2% transaction fee, with Plus and Advanced tiers for 5,000 and 15,000 items.
Workspace plans: paying for the team
Every account comes with a free Starter workspace with one full seat for the owner. Upgrades are about collaboration and staging, not hosting.
| Starter | Core | Growth | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price (yearly) | Free | $19/mo | $49/mo |
| Staging sites | 2 | 10 | Unlimited |
| Pages per staged site | 2 | 300 | 300+ |
| AI credits | 200 | 300 | 400 |
| Custom code, code export | No | Yes | Yes |
| Publishing permissions, site-level roles | No | No | Yes |
Freelancers and agencies get their own track: Freelancer at $16 a month and Agency at $35, both billed yearly, with free client seats per site and free guest access in client workspaces.
Seats are the line item that grows. A Full seat (designing sites, admin settings) is $39 a month per person billed yearly. A Limited seat (editing content or building pages from components) is $15. Free seats let reviewers and commenters in at no cost.
What a real team pays
A marketing team running one CMS site, with one designer who owns the workspace and three content editors:
- ▸Premium site plan: $25/month
- ▸3 Limited seats at $15: $45/month
- ▸Workspace owner's full seat: included
- ▸Total: about $70/month on yearly billing, before any bandwidth add-ons
Add Core ($19) if you want custom code and more staging, and the total is about $89. Add a second designer on a Full seat and it climbs another $39.
A small agency with three designers and ten client sites: the Agency workspace at $35 plus two extra Full seats at $39 each comes to $113 a month for the team. Each client site needs its own site plan, usually billed to the client. That separation is the main reason Webflow's two-layer model exists, and for agencies it works well.
A mid-size company needing localization, publishing workflows and an audit trail: that's the Team plan at $2,500 a month, or $30,000 a year. It's a big jump from Premium, and there's nothing in between.
Where the model hurts
Bandwidth is the hidden cost. Premium's $25 assumes 50GB. A content site with steady traffic and heavy images can burn through that, and Webflow's bandwidth add-ons scale fast. Put images on a compressed, modern format and keep an eye on usage in the first month.
Seats add up quietly. It's easy to hand out Full seats when a Limited seat would do. A content editor on a Full seat costs $24 more per month than they need to. Review seat types quarterly, the same way you'd review any SaaS licenses.
The gap between Premium and Team is enormous. A company that needs publishing approvals or localization but not much else goes from about $100 a month to $2,500 with no middle step. That's the point where many teams look at other platforms.
The security view
Webflow is a hosting platform for your public face, so its security questions are about who can publish and how you'd know if something changed.
- ▸SSO sits at Enterprise. The pricing comparison lists single sign-on, just-in-time provisioning and SCIM under Enterprise only. Even the $2,500 Team plan doesn't include them. For a company that requires SSO on every SaaS tool, that's a real constraint.
- ▸Publishing permissions start at Growth. Controls over who can push changes live arrive with the $49 Growth workspace. If a compromised account or a careless edit could deface your homepage, that's worth paying for.
- ▸Activity logs come with Team. The site activity log and its API, the closest thing to an audit trail, are part of the Team plan.
- ▸Review the vendor documentation. Webflow's security page is the starting point for a vendor assessment, and the developer docs cover the CMS APIs (60 requests a minute on Starter, 120 on Premium) if you're syncing content from another system.
My practical advice: at minimum, keep the number of people with publish rights small, use Limited seats for editors, and turn on two-factor authentication for every account. If your security policy requires SSO, price Enterprise before you commit.
Is Webflow worth it?
For a marketing site that needs to look polished, change often and stay out of the engineering backlog, yes. Premium plus a few Limited seats costs about $70 a month on yearly billing, which is reasonable for a tool that lets marketers publish without a developer.
It's harder to justify when:
- ▸You need governance but not enterprise scale. Publishing workflows, localization and an activity log jump straight to $2,500 a month.
- ▸You need SSO and you're not ready for an Enterprise contract.
- ▸Your traffic is high and your images are heavy. Bandwidth add-ons can cost more than the plan itself.

My recommendation for a typical small business: start on Premium with Limited seats for editors, stay on the free Starter workspace until you genuinely need staging or custom code, and check your bandwidth usage before the first renewal.
