# Webflow vs Squarespace: content sites and plan boundaries By Feature Ledger. Documentation reviewed 2026-11-12. Canonical page: https://feature-ledger.lehmanrylan790521.chatgpt.site/website-builders/compare/squarespace-vs-webflow/#analysis Scope: Webflow Starter, Basic, and Premium Site plans, and Squarespace Basic and Core. Webflow Workspace and Ecommerce plans are separate products. If your site needs a CMS, skip Webflow Basic and compare Premium. For built-in selling, look at Webflow's Ecommerce plans separately. Both Squarespace plans include blogging and selling, so decide what the site needs to do before comparing prices. Our reading of vendor documentation. We have not tested these products. ## Mostly fixed content A homepage, service pages, and a contact page fit a static site. Check publishing limits and expected traffic. You may not need a CMS. - Webflow Basic, pages: 300 static pages. Source: https://webflow.com/pricing, checked 2026-11-12.

Of the plans we cover, Webflow Premium and both Squarespace plans have one. - Webflow Premium, cms: Included. Source: https://webflow.com/pricing, checked 2026-11-12.

A layout filled from structured records works differently from pages you edit one by one. Compare the workflow you'll actually use instead of counting URLs. Webflow sells separate Site plans for static sites and sites with a CMS. The free Starter plan is good for trying the platform, but it limits pages and publishes only to a webflow.io address. A live site on your own domain needs a paid plan. - Webflow Starter, custom-domain: webflow.io subdomain. Source: https://webflow.com/pricing, checked 2026-11-12.

For example, 10 GB divided by 2 MB per visit is about 5,000 visits. That is a rough planning figure, not a traffic guarantee. Caching, repeat views, downloads, and media all change the real number. Check each provider's policy for your tier. A stated bandwidth limit and an "unlimited" statement are different terms. Neither tells you which service loads faster. Only a controlled performance test could show that. - Webflow Basic, bandwidth: 10 GB / month. Source: https://webflow.com/pricing, checked 2026-11-12.

Its pricing page lists Ecommerce plans separately. If you need built-in checkout, compare the right Ecommerce tier and its payment fees. A CMS plan does not include it. Source: https://webflow.com/pricing On Squarespace, check your plan's transaction fee and the rules for what you sell. Memberships, downloads, and physical products can have different fees. Required integrations can add cost too.

Give that person a real task, such as adding a post, replacing an image, editing a price, and previewing before publishing. A builder can meet every item on your checklist and still be hard for that person to use. Check which charges belong to the site and which belong to the team workspace or an integration. Webflow prices Site and Workspace plans separately. We have not found a full price for team seats, so those table entries say "Not verified". That does not mean access is free. Source: https://webflow.com/pricing ## Common questions ### Does Webflow Basic include a CMS? No. Webflow describes Basic as the Site plan for sites without a CMS. Premium is the plan with a CMS. Source: https://webflow.com/pricing ### Which service is faster? We can't say. This comparison uses vendor documentation, not speed tests. A fair test would hold the page content, assets, integrations, device, and network constant. ## Sources - Squarespace pricing: https://www.squarespace.com/pricing, checked 2026-11-12. - Choose the right Squarespace plan: https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/206536797-Choose-the-right-Squarespace-plan, checked 2026-11-12. - Webflow plans and pricing: https://webflow.com/pricing, checked 2026-11-12.
