Which one is for you
Pick Plasmic if
- Fits if your team has React developers and wants marketers editing pages
- Works for a free start with up to 3 collaborators
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you have no developers, as it plugs into a React codebase
- Tight if you want the badge off: that is the $39 Starter plan
- Pricey if you need A/B testing or scheduled content, which start at $399 a month
- Watch out: only yearly-billed prices are shown, and extra collaborators cost $20 to $40 each
Pick Webflow if
- Fits if you're a designer who wants control over every margin without hand-coding
- Works for sites that run on structured content, like listings or case studies, on Premium at $25
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you just want to pick a template and type, since there's more to learn here
- Pricey if you need a blog, as the CMS starts on Premium at $25 a month billed yearly
- Tight if you need quick help, as support is by email with a 48-hour reply target
- Watch out: Workspace plans for more staging, custom code and code export are billed on top of site plans, from $19 a month
- Watch out: Ecommerce Standard takes a 2% fee on top of Stripe or PayPal, and cancelling still leaves the paid term to pay
How we grade them
| 2.4GPAPlasmicFair | 2.4GPAWebflowFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BThe free plan has unlimited projects, but the first paid step is $39 a month yearly, in the dearest tenth ($29 and up). | CBasic is $15 a month for one site on yearly billing ($25 monthly), right at this category's middle. That's a site with no CMS. A blog or anything built from collections needs Premium at $25, and selling needs an ecommerce plan from $29. |
| Free plan and trial | BA free plan with 3 collaborators, unlimited projects, custom domains and deploys elsewhere, with a Plasmic badge on hosted sites. | CThe free Starter site is small: a webflow.io address, 2 static pages, 50 form submissions and 1 GB of bandwidth. Enough for learning the tool, not for running a business. |
| Features | CVisual building tied to your code, but A/B testing and scheduled content start at $399 a month, and SSO and white labelling are Enterprise. | BA visual designer that writes standards-based code, a CMS with 20,000 items on Premium, hosting on Cloudflare's CDN, staging, real-time co-editing, AI and an MCP server. It covers the whole job; selling is a separate plan, not a gap. |
| Ease of use | DNo rating on record, and it assumes a React codebase and developers. | CNo app store rating on record, and this is a designer's tool: you lay pages out on a canvas of boxes and styles rather than dropping words into a template. Expect a learning curve before you're quick. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, with Figma, Supabase, Contentful, Shopify and GraphQL plus an API. | BWeb only, but it connects to Figma, HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Analytics 4, Mailchimp and Stripe, and REST APIs manage CMS content from outside. No desktop or phone app. |
| Best for | a visual builder inside your React codebase | designers who want control over every layout |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
