I’ve been working with Webflow for a few years, but I still don’t fully understand the pricing/plan structure. I’m creating a website for a client using CMS Collections. I find the new “Build” feature very useful since it gives the client more options than the regular Editor.
So, which plans does my client need to subscribe to in order to use the CMS and Build features?
A Freelancer Workspace Plan and a CMS Site Plan? I have the Freelancer Workspace Plan myself. Does my client need both plans separately? Or can I invite them to my workspace so they can use Build Mode?
Currently the CMS Site Plan includes 3 Legacy editor seats, which are probably the “regular Editor” you’re referring to.
Mid-2025 that will transition so that those editor seats will be converted to “client seats” which will have access to build mode.
No extra cost.
If you want the client to have build mode now, then your best bet is probably;
Setup a free workspace for them
Migrate the site there
Host the site there
They will have a full designer seat since they own the workspace
Teach them to use Build mode only for safety
Invite yourself as an Agency/Freelancer guest so you still have full access
Alternatively you could keep the site in your workspace and buy a “limited seat” for now. Then in 6 mo, you’ll be able to remove that since they’ll have a client seat available.
