How we grade them
| 2.4GPAWebflowFair | 2.4GPAZoho SitesFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | 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. | BBasic is $8 a month for one site on yearly billing ($10 monthly), with 5 pages, 2 forms and 8 GB of bandwidth. That's inside this category's cheapest quarter ($9). Lite at $1 is a single page, and Plus is $15 for 25 pages. |
| Free plan and trial | 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. | CNo free plan, but a 15-day trial with no card needed and 3,000 one-time AI credits. After that every site needs a paid plan. |
| Features | 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. | CAI site generation, a visual builder with custom code, collections that make a page for every item, forms into Zoho CRM and a member portal. The gaps show in the listing: pages are capped per plan, collections start on Plus, and there's no store. |
| Ease of use | 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. | CNo app store rating on record. The AI gets you a first draft from a prompt, but after that it's a full visual builder with layers and components to learn. |
| Platforms and integrations | 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. | BWeb only, with Zoho CRM, Zoho Analytics, Google Analytics and an MCP connection that lets Claude and Cursor build and edit sites. No phone or desktop app. |
| Best for | designers who want control over every layout | small sites that feed leads into Zoho CRM |

Who each one suits
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
Zoho Sites
- Businesses already using Zoho CRM that want leads to land there
- Catalogs, directories and listings built from one page layout
- A one-page site at a low yearly cost on the Lite plan
Worth knowing
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.
Zoho Sites
- There is no free plan; after the 15-day trial every site needs a paid plan.
- Each plan caps pages: 1 on Lite, 5 on Basic, 25 on Plus and 100 on Advanced. Extra pages cost $10 a month per 100 ($8.33 billed annually).
- Collections and dynamic pages need Plus or Advanced, and the member portal needs Advanced.
- Extra users are $10 each a month, and extra AI credits are $5 per 4,000 as a one-time purchase.
