I personally already feel ditched…
Thanks Vlad, that’s a good recommendation!

@quarshcreative if you are coder you can look on https://www.plasmic.app as they have very generous free tier. you can watch this video to get an idea how it works. It is definitely on my radar and waiting on SvelteKit integration as v1.0.0 should be released soon.

@PixelGeek There is no form, only the support button…
I wrote this to support last week and just added, what do users do who exceed 10 non-hosted sites on the Core Plan just by purchasing or downloading over 10 templates? You can now unfortunately feel the investor behind the company. Sorry, it begins to make no more fun with such conversions.
Dear Webflow Team,
I am really pissed off right now. It was only in August that I switched our professional account to annual payment. Currently I am still on vacation and have not logged into Webflow for 2 weeks.
Now I log in and see that you automatically switch to workspaces after 90 days. I have just done this manually. Really nothing much has changed at first glance. We were then suggested the Growth plan.
We are a small team consisting of two people here at the agency. What I liked about our professional plan was that you could create an unlimited number of pages. And we currently have a few more than just 10 pages that you offer for the core plan. That’s a joke, right?
Sorry I find that incredibly brazen to piss off long-time and paying customers in this way. One can literally feel that there has been an investor behind your company for quite some time. It’s all about the money and that annoys me the most, because I have assessed you and your company differently. And clearly, where the journey should go, you want next that the people change to a team plan.
Now our workspace is on “Growth” and the additional amount of $118.34 has just been automatically debited. Of course we covered the “unlimeted hosted sites” feature with this, but are simply paying more money for the same service. You are technically forced, so to speak, to decide what to do with those sites now that go beyond the 10 unhosted sites.
If I now switch the plan to Core, what happens to the sites that go beyond 10. There are some backups in there as well? So I have no choice but to stay on the Growth plan. Instead, I have to look as a small business now, where I can save your additional costs again.

I feel the exact same way. Been a loyal customer since 2015, advocated Webflow to hundreds of people, built many sites/prototypes/cloneables, and now they want to charge us a LOT more for LESS features with no justification. I’m furious.

I feel the exact same way… freelancers built the Webflow brand, advocated for it, and now we’re expendable.
Sounds like you’re on the Lite plan like me.
Question: What appeal does the CORE plan have for you over the FREELANCER plan?
- My needs are to build client websites, that I host on my account and they pay me. I never need to transfer the site to the client.
It’s a bit confusing with all the back and forth on this issue.
It seems the CORE/FREELANCER and the GROWTH/AGENCY plans are very simliar, minus the cost difference.
Any advice on what the real difference is?? Or advantage/disadvantage?
Thanks.
Answer: for me, I see none.
In my circumstances which sound similar to yours I guess I would never need ‘Core’ or ‘Growth’. It’s aimed at a new market and ignored the ‘core’ webflow was built on, hence the annoyance here on this forum and elsewhere.
The freelancer plan is a recent addition and reaction to the blowback from solo operators in threads like this. At least they did react and u-turn. It’s a pity it took so much to do it. But, they did and that’s something.
@PixelGeek Hi Nelson, I have a question: you won’t block Pro accounts from guest access to other projects, right?
I think the suggestion from @kylekettler is very sensible. At the moment I am exporting the code and archiving it myself. But that is not ideal which is why an archive would be so helpful.
