Which plan to pickPremium 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.
