Plan consolidation moved monthly Basic up roughly 39 percent, auto-migrated CMS users up about 34 percent, and bandwidth caps pushed documented cases past a 300 percent increase.

What changed on May 13, 2026

  • Webflow collapsed its Basic / CMS / Business site plans into two tiers: Basic ($15/mo annual, $25 monthly) and Premium ($25/mo annual, $39 monthly).
  • Monthly-billed Basic customers saw roughly a 39 percent increase; CMS-plan customers were auto-migrated to Premium, around 34 percent more.
  • Premium ships with a 50GB bandwidth base, with paid overages beyond it. High-traffic sites felt this hardest: one documented case went from about $476/yr to over $2,000/yr.
  • Workspace seat fees continue to bill separately, the quiet multiplier on team invoices.

The community reaction was not subtle; the Webflow subreddit spent May in open revolt, and the pricing help-doc comment threads read like exit interviews.

Why this matters beyond Webflow

This is the recurring pattern we built Builder Watch to track: platform pricing is not a constant, and when your site cannot leave, a repricing is not a decision you get to participate in. Webflow, to its credit, allows static code export; its CMS content does not come along. Half an exit is still half a wall.

If the May changes moved your bill: the migration path, or the direct comparison at PISCES vs Webflow. Flat $29 and $99 tiers, no bandwidth roulette, full code export on Pro.
