Which one is for you
Pick Readymag if
- Fits if you are a designer who wants layout freedom for a portfolio
- Works for a single free site to try the tool
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: 1 site, 10 pages and Readymag branding
- Watch out: paid plans cap views at 10,000, 25,000 or 75,000 a month
- Pricey if you want code export, since it is only on Advanced at $58.50 a month
- Skip it if you want many custom-domain sites cheaply: they are capped at 1, 3 or 10 by plan
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
| 2.2GPAReadymagFair | 2.4GPAWebflowFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C$14 a month billed yearly for Personal, between the middle ($12.80) and the dearer quarter ($20.83), capped at 10,000 views a month. | 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 | CA free plan with 1 website and 10 pages on a Readymag domain, with Readymag branding, forms and custom code as preview only. | 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 | CDesign-led building with widgets, but views are capped on every paid plan and code export is Advanced only. | 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 | CNo rating on record, and you design each page from scratch. | 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 Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Unsplash and Noun Project. | 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 | editorial and portfolio sites designed by hand | designers who want control over every layout |

Worth knowing
Readymag
- Free sites keep Readymag branding and stop at 10 pages on a Readymag address.
- Each paid plan caps monthly views, from 10,000 on Personal to 75,000 on Advanced.
- Code export is limited to the Advanced plan.
- Custom-domain sites are capped per plan: 1, 3 or 10, and extra domains, collaborators and views cost more.
Webflow
- Workspace plans are billed on top of site plans: Core is $19 and Growth $49 a month billed yearly ($28 and $60 monthly) for more staging, custom code and code export.
- Basic has no CMS, so a blog or any collection-driven pages need Premium or higher.
- Selling online needs a separate ecommerce site plan, and Standard takes a 2% fee on top of Stripe or PayPal fees.
- Support is by email with a stated 48-hour reply target; cancelling still leaves the rest of the paid term to pay.

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.
