Webflow has become synonymous with empowering designers and developers to build powerful websites without writing a single line of code (well, mostly!). But as Webflow itself has grown, so have the needs of its users. The latest plan updates reflect this evolution, introducing a blend of new features, adjusted limits, and a glimpse into Webflow's future roadmap.
This isn't just about tweaking numbers; it's about giving you – the freelancer, the agency owner, the growing business – the tools to build bigger, better, and more efficiently. So let's dive into the changes and see how they impact your workflow, especially if you leverage tools like Wized, Finsweet, Memberstack, or Xano.

Bandwidth limits have been refined to better align with market standards. The Basic plan’s bandwidth limit has been reduced from 50GB to 10GB, and the Business plan now has a limit of 100GB (down from 400GB). However, fear not! New add-on options provide the flexibility to scale as you grow. These add-ons range from 50GB to 400GB, offering tailored solutions for your bandwidth needs.
Webflow is working on functionality to pass overage costs directly to clients, making billing a breeze. This means that agencies and freelancers won’t have to worry about unexpected charges affecting their bottom line. Additionally, Webflow will provide surge protection, shielding users from additional costs during temporary traffic spikes.
Important Note: These limits primarily affect new sites or plan changes made after July 15, 2024. Existing projects on unchanged plans remain unaffected for now.
These updates hint at Webflow's commitment to becoming a truly collaborative platform for teams of all sizes. With simplified user roles and permissions on the horizon, managing your workflow will become even more seamless.
Webflow is committed to making it easier for entire teams to collaborate on the platform. Upcoming changes will simplify seat and role management, making it more straightforward to onboard team members and manage their permissions. These enhancements will foster a more collaborative environment, enabling teams to work more efficiently on shared projects.
Webflow's ongoing mission is to refine its pricing and packaging to support long-term scalability for users. By continually evaluating and adjusting its offerings, Webflow aims to provide solutions that grow with businesses, ensuring sustained value and support for its diverse user base.
These updates might require a slight adjustment, but ultimately, they empower you to build more powerful, efficient, and secure websites on Webflow. And with tools like Wized, Finsweet, Memberstack, and Xano by your side, the possibilities are limitless.
