Which plan to pickTry Free for an afternoon to see whether you like watching the code get written. Pro is the plan for almost everyone else; the page only shows the yearly rate, so check the monthly price before you commit. Higher token tiers exist if you build daily.Basic is enough for most small business sites, and the free custom domain on a yearly plan makes it good value. Move to Pro when you pass 30 pages or want more than two CMS collections. Budget for extra editor seats at $20 a month if more than one person will design.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.
