Wix vs WordPress for a Small Business Site (2026)
Wix or WordPress for a small business? Three routes compared with prices read from Wix, WordPress.com and Hostinger on 26 Oct 2026, upkeep and a pick by job.
Webflow
Most pricing pages tell you what a plan costs. This one tells you what each plan lets you do, what runs out first and what the next step up really costs, using Webflow's own pricing page and help centre. Checked 1 November 2026.
For the build price and the first-year budget, read our Webflow website cost guide. This guide is about choosing the plan.
Webflow sells two kinds of plan.
| Plan type | What it pays for | Who needs it |
|---|---|---|
| Site plan | Hosting one site, its domain, its CMS and its bandwidth | Every site that is live on its own domain |
| Workspace plan | The place where sites are built and staged, plus seats and tools for the team | Builders, agencies and teams |
Webflow's pricing page says every account gets a free Workspace and a free Starter site plan. When a site needs to go live on a domain, you upgrade that one site to a paid site plan. Any Workspace can hold an unlimited number of paid site plans, according to Webflow's pricing FAQ. So an owner who hires a designer usually pays only for the site plan.
We read Webflow's pricing page on 1 November 2026. The tables use only figures printed there.
| Limit | Starter | Basic | Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price on yearly billing | Free | $15 a month | $25 a month |
| Custom domain | No | Yes | Yes |
| Static pages | 2 | 300 | Basic's, plus the CMS |
| Bandwidth a month | 1 GB | 10 GB | 50 GB up to 2.5 TB |
| Form submissions | 50 in total | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| CMS | Limited, 50 items | None | Yes, 20,000 items |
| CMS collections | 20 | None | 40 |
| Content API rate | 60 requests a minute | None | 120 requests a minute |
We state only the counts Webflow prints as numbers. If a figure matters for your project, check the live page the day you buy. Our Webflow forms guide explains how the form limits behave, and our Webflow CMS guide explains what the item and collection limits mean in practice.
Webflow's page lists these as additions over Basic:
If you want a blog that grows past a few posts, you want Premium. If you want a five-page site that rarely changes, Basic covers it.
Webflow shows Team at $2,500 a month, on an annual contract. That is $30,000 a year. It adds Webflow Localize with two locales, publishing workflows, a site activity log, five full seats and priority support. Enterprise is "Everything in Team, plus" custom roles, granular permissions and a dedicated account manager, and Webflow gives no price for it.
Neither is aimed at a small business site.
Bandwidth is the data your site sends to visitors each month. Basic has 10 GB. Premium starts at 50 GB, and Webflow's pricing page lists steps of 100 GB, 150 GB, 200 GB, 300 GB, 400 GB, 500 GB, 750 GB, 1 TB, 1.5 TB, 2 TB and 2.5 TB.
Webflow's pricing FAQ prices each step as an add-on to Premium. The table below adds each add-on to the $25 base on yearly billing.
| Bandwidth step | Add-on, yearly billing | Premium total a month | Premium total a year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 GB | none | $25 | $300 |
| 100 GB | $20 | $45 | $540 |
| 150 GB | $40 | $65 | $780 |
| 200 GB | $60 | $85 | $1,020 |
| 300 GB | $100 | $125 | $1,500 |
| 400 GB | $140 | $165 | $1,980 |
| 500 GB | $174 | $199 | $2,388 |
| 750 GB | $274 | $299 | $3,588 |
| 1 TB | $374 | $399 | $4,788 |
| 1.5 TB | $574 | $599 | $7,188 |
| 2 TB | $774 | $799 | $9,588 |
| 2.5 TB | $974 | $999 | $11,988 |
The add-on column is Webflow's number and the other columns are our sums. Webflow's FAQ labels the add-ons by the size added, such as "+50 GB", so we matched each to the step on the pricing page above. Monthly billing costs more per step. The first add-on is $30 instead of $20.
This part is an illustration, not a Webflow figure. If an average visit loads 3 MB of pages and images, 10 GB covers about 3,300 visits a month and 50 GB covers about 16,000. A site with heavy video or large uncompressed images uses far more per visit. Webflow also says two months in a row over the limit triggers an automatic plan upgrade.
| Workspace plan | Price on yearly billing | Per year | Staging sites | Pages per staged site |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | Free | $0 | 2 | 2 |
| Core | $19 a month | $228 | 10 | 300 |
| Growth | $49 a month | $588 | Unlimited | Not stated |
Webflow lists custom code and code export under Core, and site password protection plus 301 redirects under Growth. Webflow's FAQ also says you can export your site and host it elsewhere with a paid Workspace plan. It adds a warning: dynamic content exports one collection at a time and forms stop working once the site is hosted elsewhere.
If a freelancer or agency builds your site, they bring their own Workspace, and you only buy the site plan. Our Webflow maintenance page covers ongoing care.
| Your site | Plan to start on | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A test or a client preview | Starter | Free, but only two pages and a webflow.io address |
| A five to ten page site that rarely changes | Basic | Custom domain, 300 pages, unlimited forms, no CMS needed |
| A site with a blog, case studies or a directory | Premium | Basic has no CMS |
| A site that takes file uploads in forms, or has its own search | Premium | Both are listed as Premium additions |
| A site that gets heavy traffic or hosts video | Premium plus a bandwidth step | Add bandwidth in steps instead of moving plans |
| Several editors, approvals and two or more languages | Team | Localize, publishing workflows and the activity log |
A Basic site that later needs a blog must move to Premium, a $120 yearly rise. Choose by what the site needs in its first year, not by the lowest number.
Figures here are correct as of 1 November 2026. Confirm them on Webflow's pricing page before you pay. This is not financial advice.
We make the plan choice part of the brief. We list the pages, whether you need a CMS, whether forms take file uploads and how much traffic you expect, then name the cheapest Webflow plan that covers it. Our team works on Webflow, Framer, WordPress and Shopify as well as Wix, Squarespace and custom builds, so when a different platform suits the job better, we tell you.See Webflow development.
That would be Basic: $15 monthly when billed yearly, or $180 a year. You get a custom domain, 300 static pages and unlimited form submissions. It does not include the CMS, so it suits a small site with fixed pages.
Premium adds the Webflow CMS, code components, site search and form file upload. It also starts at 50 GB of bandwidth a month against 10 GB on Basic. It costs $25 a month on yearly billing, $10 a month more than Basic.
No. Starter has no custom domain, two static pages, 1 GB of bandwidth a month and 50 form submissions in total. It is for building and testing. Move to a paid site plan when you want a live site on your own domain.
On Premium, the first step up from 50 GB to 100 GB adds $20 a month on yearly billing. A step to 500 GB adds $174 a month, and the 2.5 TB step adds $974. Each add-on is billed on top of the $25 Premium base.
Not for one site that you build alone. The free Workspace has one full seat and two staging sites. Core at $19 a month adds ten staging sites and code export, and Growth at $49 a month adds unlimited staging sites. They suit people who build for others.
Only if you need what it adds, such as publishing workflows, two included locales and an activity log. It costs $2,500 a month on an annual contract. Most growing businesses do better on Premium plus a bandwidth step, and a maintenance plan if they want help.
Yes, with a paid Workspace plan you can export your site and host it anywhere. Webflow warns that forms stop working after an export and that dynamic content exports one collection at a time. Plan the form and CMS move before you leave. Our WordPress website cost guide shows what the other route costs.
Many predate the May 2026 plan change at Webflow, which folded the CMS and Business plans into Premium. Currency and tax also differ by country. Open Webflow's pricing page again on the day you buy.
