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.Start on Free to see whether the chat-to-build approach suits you. Move to Pro the moment you are building something real, and buy a higher credit tier rather than topping up if you run out most months. Business only makes sense once several people need to log in and manage the apps.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.
