Choose a Site plan
Learn about available Site plans and choose a plan according to your hosting needs.
Your Site plan — which is billed separately from your Workspace plan — makes it possible for you to get your site live on the web at its own custom domain.
Each individual site that you would like to publish to a custom domain needs its own Site plan (sometimes referred to as a hosting plan). Site plans allow you to point a custom domain to your Webflow site so you can host it with Webflow. Read more about site plan details and the benefits of hosting with Webflow.
Important: Site plans are billed separately from your Workspace plan. Workspace plans do not provide hosting. Learn more about Workspace plans.
In this lesson, you’ll learn:
How to choose a Site plan
In Site settings > Plans, you can upgrade to a paid Site plan. Or, if the site already has an active, paid Site plan, you can upgrade or downgrade that plan. Only site admins can manage the billing settings of a Site plan. Learn more about site level roles and permissions.
Important: Site plan fees are charged using the default payment card associated with the Workspace the site is in.
Which Site plan do I need?
The needs of your site determine the Site plan you choose. The following is a brief overview, but you can read more about each plan and its associated features in the Site plan section of our pricing page. Or you can view a detailed comparison table of the various Site plan features in your site’s Plans:
- Go to Site settings > Plans
- Choose either the Website tab or the Ecommerce site tab
- Scroll down below the plan options
Free Starter Site plan
When you create a site, you’ll start out with the free Starter Site plan by default. The free Starter Site plan allows your site up to 1,000 monthly visits, 50 CMS items, and 2 static pages, and comes with the ability to publish your site on the .webflow.io subdomain. You’ll also have limited CMS management, form customization functionality, and the ability to test Ecommerce features on this plan. If you need additional pages and features (such as checkout functionality for Ecommerce) or the ability to host your site on a custom domain, you’ll need to upgrade to a paid Site plan.
Basic Site plan
If you would like to host your site on a custom domain and need access to additional pages and features that a paid Site plan offers, the Basic plan is a good starting point. Basic Site plans are specifically for sites that do not use any CMS or Ecommerce features (e.g., your site wouldn’t need a dynamic blog, portfolio, or store). If you want to use CMS or Ecommerce features in the future, you can always upgrade your plan at a later time.
CMS or Business Site plan
If your site uses CMS features (e.g., your site has a blog or showcases a portfolio of your work, etc.), you will need either a CMS or Business Site plan — the Basic site plan option will be disabled.
If you do not need any CMS functionality on your site, you can remove all CMS content and content editors from your site to re-enable the Basic Site plan option.
Ecommerce Site plan
If your site uses Webflow’s native Ecommerce features, you will need an Ecommerce plan to enable checkout. Go to Site settings > Plans and click the Ecommerce site tab to select an Ecommerce plan.
Note: If you’ve created a site or purchased a template that uses Ecommerce features, you aren’t locked into using an Ecommerce plan. You can always purchase a CMS or Business Site plan for your site, but Ecommerce checkout will be disabled.
Enterprise plan
If you need to have plans tailored to your brand, you can inquire about a Webflow Enterprise plan.
How to find your current Site plan
You can manage any site’s Site plan from Site settings > Plans.
To make sure you are in the correct site’s Plans:
- Go to your Dashboard
- Locate the site whose Site plan you want to manage
- Click the plan name link to open the Plans for that site (you’ll find Site plan options available for your site, or details about your current, paid site plan)
- Click the Website tab to view non-Ecommerce options, or click the Ecommerce site tab to view Ecommerce options
Good to know: To make sure you’re viewing the correct site’s settings in your Workspace, you can verify the name and subdomain of the site in Site settings > General.
You can go to Site settings > Billing to see your current paid Site plan. If you haven’t yet upgraded to a paid Site plan, you’ll be on the free, Starter Site plan.
