A Complete Guide to Webflow pricing Site Plans, Workspaces, and Choosing the Right Option
Webflow is a powerful tool for designing, managing, and hosting professional websites, but choosing the right plan can feel a bit daunting.
Let's be honest, Webflow's pricing structure is almost comically complicated, so in this article, let us help you navigate the different options Webflow provides.
At Lighthouse Digital, we work with Webflow daily, so we’re here to guide you through the pricing structure. This article will break down Site and Workspace Plans, cover the latest updates in bandwidth and CMS item limits, and help you identify which plan is best for your needs, whether you’re an individual freelancer, a small business, a growing agency, or a large enterprise.
The Two Main Categories of Webflow Plans
Webflow’s pricing structure is divided into two primary categories:
Site Plans: These plans are for individual websites. If you’re building a single site for personal use, a business, or an e-commerce store, you’ll need a Site Plan that offers specific resources and features for that website alone.
Workspace Plans: These are designed for teams or agencies managing multiple projects and websites. Workspace Plans offer collaboration tools, multi-site management, and enhanced team permissions, making them ideal for teams or freelancers juggling multiple clients.
Let’s take a closer look at each category.
