Which plan to pickFree is enough to find out whether you like it. Starter suits one simple internal tool, but watch the integration credits once staff start using it daily. The pricing page only shows yearly rates, which it says are 20 per cent cheaper than monthly, so ask what monthly billing costs before you commit.Premium does the job for most small businesses. Only pay for 48 months if you are sure you will still want the site then; a shorter term costs more per month but avoids a big upfront bill. There is a 30-day money-back guarantee as long as you have used fewer than 30 credits.Premium is the plan for almost every business site, since the CMS is the reason to choose Webflow in the first place. Basic only makes sense for a small static site, in which case Framer is probably easier. Check the monthly-billed price if you do not want a yearly commitment, and remember each extra designer is a $39 a month seat.
