Which plan to pickBuild on Free to see if you like the result, then move to Launch to go live on your own domain. Grow is only worth it if you have lots of customers or use the AI marketing tools heavily.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.Most businesses should start on Core, the cheapest plan that takes payments and bookings. Light only suits a plain information site. Prices vary by country, so check what Wix shows you at checkout and note the renewal date.
