Why is there a difference in pricing for the CMS site plan on Webflow between my friend's account and my newly created account?

TL;DR
  • Compare plan types, billing frequency (monthly vs. yearly), and ensure you're both viewing the same CMS Site Plan.  
  • Check for grandfathered pricing, regional or currency differences, and any applied promotions or agency discounts.

Pricing differences for Webflow CMS Site Plans can occur due to various factors like legacy pricing, regional currency, or promotional offers. Here's how to identify the root cause.

​

1. Legacy or Grandfathered Pricing

  • Webflow occasionally updates its pricing structure.
  • Accounts created under earlier pricing tiers may retain grandfathered rates, which are lower than current offerings.
  • If your friend’s account is older, they might still be on a discontinued plan.

​

2. Regional Currency Differences

  • Webflow sometimes displays pricing based on your account's detected region.
  • Your new account could be set to a different region or currency than your friend’s. This affects the displayed price due to conversion rates or regional pricing strategies.

​

3. Promotional Discounts or Credits

  • Older or trial accounts might have access to limited-time promotional pricing, discounts, or Webflow-issued credits.
  • Check if your friend’s plan had a promotion applied at checkout by visiting Site Settings > Plans.

​

4. Agency or Team Accounts

  • If your friend is part of a Webflow Partner program or agency plan, they may have access to special pricing.
  • These discounted rates aren't available to standard personal accounts.

​

5. Type of CMS Plan Chosen

  • Ensure both accounts are viewing the same plan type: CMS Site Plan (for a site) vs. Workspace Plan (for team collaboration).
  • Pricing varies between monthly and yearly billing options—yearly is generally cheaper when billed upfront.

​

6. Billing Currency Settings

  • Go to Account Settings > Billing and check what currency your Webflow dashboard is using.
  • A mismatch in currencies may lead to price differences even for the same plan.

​

Summary

The pricing difference between your CMS site plan and your friend’s is likely due to grandfathered rates, regional pricing, billing frequency, or promotional offers. Compare plan types, billing cycles, and account settings to identify the exact reason.
