# Webflow Evaluate Webflow site and workspace costs, CMS, localization and handoff. Canonical page: https://quillwell.com/guides/software/webflow/ Updated 2026-11-05 Publisher: Quillwell Guides (https://quillwell.com/guides/about/). Editorial standards: https://quillwell.com/guides/editorial/ ## The short answer - This guide uses vendor documentation checked November 5, 2026. We have not built, published or transferred a site in the product. - [Webflow](https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/33961379128723-Webflow-Workspace-and-Site-plans-overview) separates individual Site plans from Workspace collaboration and staging. Budget both where needed, then add localization and other required services. - [Webflow](https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/33961386739347-How-do-I-export-my-Webflow-site-code) says paid Workspace code export excludes CMS functionality and localized content. A code ZIP is not an editable site transfer. ## Price the site and team together [Webflow](https://webflow.com/pricing) lists Basic at $15 per month billed yearly and Premium at $25 per month billed yearly, in US dollars per site before applicable taxes. Basic is described for sites without a CMS; Premium adds the CMS. Confirm your selected bandwidth and billing cycle at checkout. [Webflow](https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/33961379128723-Webflow-Workspace-and-Site-plans-overview) says a paid Site plan enables custom-domain publishing, while Workspace plans govern staging and collaboration. Price the site, required seats, add-ons and peak bandwidth together; a free Workspace may suffice for some teams. [Webflow](https://webflow.com/pricing/calculator) says CMS and Business Site plans are being consolidated into Premium. Existing Freelancer or Agency Workspace and legacy sites have later renewal-based transition timing. Confirm the actual renewal date and quote for the specific account. ## Model CMS and locales [Webflow’s pricing table](https://webflow.com/pricing) lists 20,000 CMS items and 40 collections on the current Premium tier. Verify the selection and transition date for an existing plan before relying on those allowances. Map collection types, references, publishing roles and expected item growth before selecting the site plan. [Webflow](https://webflow.com/pricing) lists Localize as a site add-on with per-locale pricing and different features by tier. Verify localized paths, media, translation review and the number of locales required. Test a representative article and a campaign page through authoring, review and publishing with the intended roles. The [form builder guide](https://quillwell.com/guides/form-builder-software/) can help assess submission processing and downstream CRM handoff. [Webflow’s illustrated content editor guide](https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/33961251014931-Edit-site-content-as-a-content-editor) shows the authoring interface and explains how publishing depends on permissions. ## Set ownership before the client launch [Webflow](https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/33961238786963-How-do-I-transfer-a-site-or-plan-to-another-workspace) says paid sites can be transferred to a client by eligible Freelancer or Agency Workspaces, subject to destination restrictions and acceptance. The recipient adds a card and reauthenticates third-party apps. Agree on billing, domain and DNS control, access and launch timing. [Webflow](https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/48412420902675-Legacy-Editor-deprecation-FAQ) says its legacy Editor was retired in 2026. Confirm the seats and roles clients need for ongoing editing and publishing instead of relying on an old handoff tutorial. ## Test what the export omits [Webflow](https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/33961386739347-How-do-I-export-my-Webflow-site-code) says code export requires a paid Workspace plan. CMS content, localized pages, ecommerce functionality, password protection and form processing are excluded from exported code; CMS collections can be exported separately as CSV. Inventory redirects, assets and integrations, then test a representative migration with the target host. ## How to compare the alternatives Compare [Framer](https://quillwell.com/guides/software/framer/) and [Duda](https://quillwell.com/guides/software/duda/) on the same CMS model, author permissions and handoff. The [Webflow vs Framer comparison](https://quillwell.com/guides/compare/webflow-vs-framer/) examines those choices. Compare campaign-specific needs with [Unbounce](https://quillwell.com/guides/software/unbounce/) and [Instapage](https://quillwell.com/guides/software/instapage/). ## Common questions ### Does a Site plan include code export? [Webflow](https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/33961386739347-How-do-I-export-my-Webflow-site-code) says code export requires a paid Workspace plan; a Site plan alone does not include it. ### Does a code ZIP contain the live CMS and forms? [Webflow](https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/33961386739347-How-do-I-export-my-Webflow-site-code) says those functions are excluded. CMS data can be exported separately as CSV. ## Sources and scope We read the linked vendor documentation on November 5, 2026.
