Webflow vs Framer: plans, CMS, and publishing
The old price comparison for these builders is no longer reliable. Webflow updated its self-serve Site plans in 2026, and both vendors separate at least some site-publishing costs from workspace collaboration. This comparison focuses on current published plans and CMS needs.

Quick take
Framer’s listed Basic plan starts lower at US$10/month on its yearly-billing view. Webflow’s new Basic Site plan is US$15/month billed yearly and does not include CMS; its Premium plan is US$25/month billed yearly and includes substantially larger published CMS capacity. Compare the exact site and workspace plan your project needs rather than treating those starting prices as equivalent.
Published plans and limits
Free publishing
- Webflow
- Starter sites can publish to a webflow.io subdomain, with a limit of 2 static pages and 50 CMS items. A paid Site plan is required for a custom domain.
- Framer
- Free plan includes a Framer domain, 1 GB bandwidth, and design pages. A paid Site plan is required to connect a custom domain and remove Framer branding.
Paid site plan price
- Webflow
- Basic is US$15/month billed yearly or US$25/month billed monthly. It is for sites without CMS or ecommerce. Premium is US$25/month billed yearly or US$39/month billed monthly.
- Framer
- Basic is US$10/month and Pro is US$30/month on the pricing page’s yearly-billing view.
CMS capacity
- Webflow
- The new Premium plan includes 20,000 CMS items and 40 CMS collections.
- Framer
- Basic includes 2 CMS collections and 1,000 items. Pro includes 10 collections and 2,500 items before optional scaling.
Hosting and custom domain
- Webflow
- A paid Site plan is needed to host an individual site on a custom domain. Site plans are billed separately from Workspace plans.
- Framer
- Paid Site plans include hosting and support connecting a custom domain. Workspace editor limits and costs depend on the highest-tier Site plan in that Workspace.
The vendors display prices in US dollars, but workspace charges, taxes, billing frequency, and existing customer terms can differ. Webflow says new Site plan prices apply to new purchases, while existing sites may transition on a later renewal or billable change. Confirm your own plan details before budgeting.
Which site should you trial?
Shortlist Webflow
Consider Webflow Premium if your site needs a larger structured CMS under its published 20,000-item and 40-collection limits. Check the separate Workspace plan if you need more staging sites or collaboration controls, and note that each custom-domain site needs its own Site plan.
Shortlist Framer
Consider Framer Basic or Pro if their published page and CMS limits fit your site. Compare workspace editor requirements as well as the Site plan: Framer ties editor limits and pricing to the highest-tier Site plan in the Workspace.
Do not infer design quality, SEO performance, or ease of use from these plan tables. Trial both with the same page, CMS content, responsive breakpoints, forms, and publishing checklist; then compare editing time, accessibility, performance, and the bill for your required seats and limits.
A practical evaluation checklist
- 1. Count what you need. List static pages, CMS collections and items, bandwidth, forms, redirects, and custom domains.
- 2. Price the whole team setup. Include the Site plan for each published site, Workspace features, editor seats, add-ons, and annual commitment.
- 3. Test the handoff. Try content editing, staging, publishing, redirects, accessibility, and exporting or migrating the site before choosing.
