Free plan in real output
The free Starter site gets 2 static pages, 1 GB bandwidth and 50 form submissions on a webflow.io address. Monthly-billed prices weren't shown in the view we captured.
- Free: enough to build and show a client a two-page draft on a webflow.io link, not to launch their site.
- Basic: a brochure site with a custom domain and up to 300 static pages, with no CMS.
- Premium: needed as soon as the client wants a blog or any collection they edit themselves.
Cost at your stage
| Plan | Monthly cost | |
|---|---|---|
| Month 1 (testing, low volume) | Starter | $0 |
| Month 12 (working volume) | Premium | $25 |
Break-even: Premium at $25/mo (billed yearly) is usually billed to the client; one $1,000 site build covers more than three years of it.
Month-12 plan is our estimate of what a solo seller at steady weekly output needs, based on the plan limits above. Costs exclude tax.
