Pros and cons
Webflow
Pros
- It is one of the few picks with a free plan, while ClickFunnels, Shopify and sm-web.nl have no free plan.
- Entry price of $15 sits close to the site median of €13.15.
- The builder range covers site, store and landing work: site, store and landing.
Cons
- Entry is not the cheapest: $15 against €6.93 at the low end of the site range.
- Renewal tends to cost more than entry across this field, with €5.99 against an introductory €2.99.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so live chat is not listed.
Wix
Pros
- A free plan is included, and Free email marketing tool available means email marketing tooling is available without paying first.
- Hosting is part of the product, spanning web hosting and multi cloud hosting with free ssl, cdn and email on the free tier, so there is no separate host to buy.
- Templates number 2,000 across site, store and landing, which shortens the work before a store can sell.
Cons
- Entry price of $17.77 sits above $12, and the intro term runs 12 months.
- The e-commerce plan at $29.77 is higher than the €6.14 lower quartile in the ranking set.
- A transaction fee of 2.9% applies on top of the plan, against a 0% median across the ranking set.
Who each suits
Webflow
Who it suits
- Small businesses that want design control plus a free starting tier: small business and enterprise.
- Teams selling online as well as publishing content, since site, store and landing covers both.
- Shoppers who want help beyond email, with email, phone and help centre on offer.
Who should look elsewhere
- ClickFunnels, when paying from the first month is fine, since it has no free plan.
- Shopify, for a shop ready to pay for its plan straight away, since it has no free plan.
- sm-web.nl, if the free plan Webflow offers is the deciding factor, since sm-web.nl has no free plan.
Wix
Who it suits
- Small businesses that need a site, a store and hosting in a single product
- Beginners who want a free plan before paying anything
- Enterprise teams comfortable with a single large platform
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers comparing pure transaction fee economics, where Shafrik prices from XOF 9,900 in another currency
- Sellers priced in Uruguay who prefer a local platform starting at UYU 400
- Creators wanting a simple tip page at $12 rather than a full site builder

Questions about each
Webflow
How much is Webflow to start with?+
Entry price is $15, and the site median for the same measure is €13.15, so Webflow sits in the middle of the range rather than at either end. The free Starter plan lets you publish a small project first, with limits on pages and form submissions.
Is there a free plan, and what does it cover?+
Yes, Webflow has a free plan, which is the pricing model listed for it. The Starter free tier allows a small set of pages and a limited number of form submissions, enough to test a structure before you pay anything.
Wix
What does Wix cost to start?+
Plans start at $17.77, and paid plans open at $17.77 to $159.77 over a 12 term. A free plan is available first, so nothing has to be paid before that. E-commerce work sits on a separate tier at $29.77. A .com domain adds €9.90 in the first year.
Is there a free Wix plan, and what comes with it?+
Yes, a free plan is included, and it is a website builder plan rather than a limited demo. Hosting comes with it, along with free ssl, cdn and email. A free email marketing tool is also available. The free plan keeps the site running at no recurring cost.
