| Which plan to pick | 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. | 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. |
