Value for money
BMaker is $9 a month for one site on yearly billing ($14 monthly), with your own domain, unlimited pages and HTML export, right on this category's cheapest-quarter line. Losing the badge or blogging past 10 posts needs Startup at $29.
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
CThe free Lurker plan has no time limit and lets you build up to 10 pages and 10 posts, so it works like a trial with no card. But it can't publish a website at all.
CThe free Starter site is real but tiny: a webflow.io address, 2 static pages, 50 form submissions and 1 GB of bandwidth. Good for learning the tool, not for running a business.
Features
CSection and site templates, AI editing, directories and dynamic pages fed from Google Sheets, a blog, forms, Stripe on a landing page, custom code and HTML export. The gaps are in the listing: 10 posts on Maker, and payments rather than a store.
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 app store rating on record. Sections and templates make a startup page quick, but directories, Sheets data and custom code take some setting up.
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 Stripe, Zapier, Mailchimp, Google Sheets and an API for dynamic pages. No phone or desktop app.

Who each one suits

Unicorn Platform

  • Founders launching a landing page for a SaaS product or app
  • Directory and listing sites fed from a Google Sheet
  • Freelancers and agencies publishing many client sites from one account

Webflow

  • Designers and agencies building custom marketing sites without hand-coding
  • Content-heavy sites that need a structured CMS and an API
  • Teams that want staging, roles and publishing permissions

Worth knowing

Unicorn Platform

  • The free Lurker plan cannot publish a website; putting any site online needs a paid plan.
  • Maker keeps the Unicorn Platform badge and allows only 10 blog posts; removing the badge starts at Startup.
  • The pricing page promises a 30-day money-back guarantee, but the terms of service say refunds are given only for technical problems support cannot fix.
  • Collaborators start on Startup with 1; unlimited editors need Business or higher.

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.

Key features

Unicorn Platform

Section and site templates
Sites are built from ready-made section templates or whole-site templates for SaaS products, mobile apps, directories and personal pages, and stay responsive on all screen sizes.
AI editing
An AI co-pilot builds a website or makes changes from written prompts, alongside the no-code editor.
Dynamic data and directories
A directory component and dynamic CMS pages fill themselves from a Google Sheet or through the API, for listing and directory sites.
Blog
A built-in blog with drafts, public posts and link-only posts. Maker allows 10 posts; Startup and above allow unlimited posts.
Forms and payments
Forms send entries to Zapier, Mailchimp and other services, with Google Sheets and email delivery on paid plans. Stripe takes payments on a landing page.
Custom code and HTML export
HTML, CSS and JavaScript can be added to any page or post, and paid plans can export a whole site as HTML to host elsewhere.

Webflow

Visual designer
Pages are laid out on a canvas that writes standards-based code, with code components available on Premium for developer-built or AI-generated parts.
Webflow CMS
Collections hold blog posts, listings and other structured content with templates for each item. Premium allows 20,000 items in 40 collections; Basic has no CMS.
Hosting on a global CDN
Sites publish to Webflow hosting behind Cloudflare's CDN with free SSL. Bandwidth runs from 1 GB on Starter to 50 GB on Premium, with paid steps above that.
Workspaces and collaboration
Workspaces hold staging sites and teammates, with real-time co-editing, comment-only links and free agency or freelancer guests. Paid Workspaces add more staging sites and roles.
AI, MCP server and Webflow Cloud
Webflow AI and an MCP server for outside AI tools come with every site plan, and Webflow Cloud hosts web apps next to a site, billed by requests and CPU time above the included amounts.
APIs and add-ons
REST APIs manage CMS content from outside Webflow. Paid add-ons cover A/B testing and personalization (Optimize, from $299 a month), analytics and localization.
