TL;DR

Framer sells a design canvas with hosting attached: Free with a framer.app-style subdomain, 1 GB bandwidth and 500 AI credits to try, Basic at $10 a month billed yearly for personal sites, Pro at $30 a month for growing sites, Enterprise by request with unlimited editors and SSO, and extra editors at $20 a month while viewers are free. Webflow sells site plans per site and workspace plans per seat: Starter free on a webflow.io domain with 2 static pages, Basic at $15 a month billed yearly with 300 static pages but no CMS, Premium at $25 a month with the CMS and tiered bandwidth up to 2.5 TB, a Team platform plan at $2,500 a month on an annual contract, plus workspace seats from $16 to $49 a month. Framer is cheaper for a single published site; Webflow costs more but separates the site, the team and the add-ons.

Framer's pricing page starts Free at $0 with a Framer subdomain, 1 GB bandwidth, 500 AI credits to try the agents, and a plan the FAQ describes as ideal for non-commercial use with collaboration up to three editors. Basic is $10 a month billed yearly and is aimed at personal sites: a free custom domain on yearly plans, built-in SEO, use of your own domain and 1,000 AI credits a month. Pro is $30 a month for growing professional sites, with 3,000 credits a month, site redirects, a staging environment and room for larger content sets. Enterprise is priced on request and adds unlimited editors, enterprise security, an uptime guarantee, SCIM and SSO, and dedicated support. Two numbers matter beyond the plan: additional editors are $20 a month each while viewers stay free, and the page lists overage rates of $20 per 100 extra site pages (700 maximum), $40 per 10 extra CMS collections (40 maximum), $20 per 10,000 extra CMS items (40,000 maximum) and $40 per 100 GB of extra bandwidth up to 2 TB.

Webflow's page runs a yearly toggle advertised at up to 40% off, and prices Site plans per site: Starter free with a webflow.io domain, 2 static pages, 1 GB bandwidth, 50 form submissions and the Webflow AI MCP server; Basic at $15 a month billed yearly for simple sites that do not need a CMS, with a custom domain, 300 static pages, 10 GB bandwidth, unlimited form submissions and password protection; Premium at $25 a month for content-driven sites, adding Webflow CMS, site search, code components and form file upload with bandwidth tiers running from 50 GB to 2.5 TB. Above those sits a Team platform plan at $2,500 a month on an annual contract for organisations, and an Enterprise plan sold through sales with granular permissions, custom roles and enhanced SLAs. Workspace plans are billed per seat and per site basis differs: the page lists freelance and core workspace tiers at $16 and $19 per seat a month billed yearly, Growth at $49, and ecommerce site plans at $29, $74 and $212. Add-ons are priced separately — Optimize at $299 a month by page views, Analyze at $9 a month by sessions, Localize Essential at $9 and Localize Advanced at $29 a month by locale.

Pros & cons

👍 Framer Pros

  • Basic at $10 a month billed yearly is the cheapest published way to put a custom-domain site live here
  • AI credits are included in the plan — 1,000 a month on Basic, 3,000 on Pro — rather than sold as a pack
  • One plan covers hosting, editors and publishing; only extra editors cost more at $20 a month
  • Pro at $30 adds site redirects and a staging environment without a platform fee

👎 Framer Cons

  • The free plan is aimed at non-commercial use and holds bandwidth to 1 GB
  • Every extra editor beyond the plan allowance is $20 a month
  • Pages, CMS collections, CMS items and bandwidth all carry overage rates once the plan ceiling is passed
  • Enterprise terms such as SSO, SCIM and uptime guarantees require a request

👍 Webflow Pros

  • Starter publishes free to a webflow.io domain with the AI MCP server included
  • Basic at $15 a month billed yearly covers 300 static pages with unlimited form submissions
  • Premium at $25 adds a CMS, site search and bandwidth tiers to 2.5 TB for content-heavy sites
  • Workspace seats start at $16 and $19 a month billed yearly, so a solo builder can keep costs low

👎 Webflow Cons

  • Basic has no CMS at all — a blog or collection-driven page requires Premium at $25
  • Site plans and workspace plans are billed separately, so a team pays twice
  • Add-ons climb quickly: Optimize is $299 a month, Localize Advanced $29, Analyze $9
  • The Team plan is $2,500 a month on an annual contract, far above the self-serve tiers

Verdict

Pick Framer if

design first, hosting included

Framer charges $10 then $30 a month billed yearly and treats the canvas, the hosting and the AI credits as one workspace bill, with only extra editors at $20 a month adding to it. Designers, founders and studios shipping polished one-page or small marketing sites should take the lower price and the shorter feature list.

Pick Webflow if

site plan plus workspace

Webflow charges $15 then $25 a month billed yearly per site, plus a workspace seat from $16 to $49 a month, and sells heavy capability separately — ecommerce at $29 to $212, experimentation at $299, localisation from $9. Teams that run many pages, need a CMS with real structure, or build for clients should budget the site and the seats together rather than reading the $15 headline alone.

What the vendors say, and what we did not measure

No user reviews, ratings or quotes were gathered for this pair. Figures come from framer.com/pricing and webflow.com/pricing as fetched for this page; both pages default to annual billing, and Webflow states all prices are in USD per site plus applicable taxes.

Who Should Use Which?

Use Framer if you...

  • Founders and designers shipping a personal or portfolio site on a $10 monthly plan
  • Teams that want AI credits included rather than metered as a separate pack
  • Studios that invite many viewers but only pay for editors at $20 a month
  • Projects where a staging environment and redirects at $30 a month are enough

Use Webflow if you...

  • Marketing teams running content-heavy sites that need a CMS
  • Agencies billing per site, since Site plans are priced per site at $15 and $25
  • Buyers who want ecommerce, experimentation and localisation as switch-on add-ons
  • Organisations that need granular permissions, custom roles and enhanced SLAs

FAQ

Which is cheaper for one site?

Framer. Basic is $10 a month billed yearly against Webflow's Basic at $15 a month billed yearly — although Webflow's Basic has no CMS, so a blog needs Premium at $25. Framer's Pro at $30 sits above both.

Do I need a paid plan to publish?

Not on either product, but with limits: Framer's free plan is described as ideal for non-commercial use with 1 GB bandwidth, and Webflow's Starter publishes only to a webflow.io domain with 2 static pages and 1 GB bandwidth. A custom domain on a live site requires a paid tier on both.

How do team costs compare?

Framer charges $20 a month for each additional editor and keeps viewers free. Webflow separates the bill: workspace seats run $16 and $19 per seat a month billed yearly for solo and small-team tiers, with Growth at $49, alongside the per-site plan price.

What does Webflow's CMS cost extra?

Nothing beyond the tier — the CMS arrives with Premium at $25 a month billed yearly, which also raises bandwidth into tiers running from 50 GB up to 2.5 TB. Framer lists CMS capacity in its plan table with explicit overage rates instead: $40 per 10 extra collections and $20 per 10,000 extra items.

Which handles online stores?

Webflow publishes dedicated ecommerce site plans at $29, $74 and $212 a month billed yearly. Framer's pricing page does not list a separate ecommerce tier, so selling products there means third-party tooling.

Is the $2,500 Webflow plan required?

No. That Team platform plan is an annual-contract tier for organisations that need governance features; the self-serve path is Basic or Premium plus a workspace seat, and Enterprise sits above it as a quote.
