A Workspace is a dedicated space within a Webflow account where you can find, create, manage and organize your websites. In your workspace you can also invite and collaborate with other Webflow users on your websites.
Every account on Webflow gets a workspace at sign-up, which is the starter (free) workspace.
If you are a freelancer or agency, you are very likely going to immediately need one of the paid options.
If you are not a designer, developer, or large organization, but only in need of a website, in many cases the starter workspace plan will be enough and you don’t need a paid workspace plan. You just need to invite a freelancer or agency guest (you can invite up to two guests) in your workspace to work on your project, or they create your project in their workspace and then transfer it to your workspace.
You will only need to pay for a Webflow site plan. If you want to see all plans at a glance, check out our comprehensive Webflow plans article.
You will need to upgrade to a paid Workspace in case that you need more than one seat, two unhosted sites, or collaboration features (like publishing permissions). Keep in mind that there is no limit to the number of paid hosted sites in a workspace.
Webflow’s Workspace Plans are divided into two main categories:
- For in-house teams - ideal for collaboration within one organization
- For freelancers & agencies - ideal if you are the one working on client projects
Starter (Free) Workspace Plan
When you sign up to Webflow, you get assigned a starter (free) workspace. Each account is entitled to one starter workspace. As the name suggests, it is free. In the starter workspace you can have two sites that are in a staging environment, and unlimited amounts of websites on paid site plans. You have the option to create and pay for multiple workspaces if needed.

- Core - $19
- Growth - $49
You can save up to 32% when billed yearly on all in-house teams plans.
Both the Core and the Growth plan offer greater features than the starter workspace plan. There are slight differences between these two in terms of features and capabilities. The main difference lies in the raised limits for various features like the number of users, staging sites etc.

How to choose the right paid Webflow workspace plan?
Workspace plans are billed per seat. So, if you are an agency with e.g. five webflow developers, you will go for the ‘Agency’ plan, and pay for five seats in that workspace.
On the other hand, if you are an organization with an in-house team developing and working on your websites, then you would go for one of the in-house teams plans. Let's use the example of five people again, in that case you would go for the ‘Growth’ workspace plan, and pay for five seats.
Upgrading and Managing Plans
The process of upgrading, downgrading, or managing your Webflow workspace plans is designed to be flexible and user-friendly. If you're switching between plans, Webflow makes adjustments to your billing cycle accordingly, and automatically calculates all of the costs, taking into account the unused credit from your current plan. Sometimes, promotional codes or discounts can be applied to new upgrades, so it’s worth keeping an eye out for those.
Upgrading Your Plan
- To upgrade, simply log into your Webflow dashboard, then go to the desired workspace and click on the option on your left hand side called ‘Plans’.
- Here, you can view your current plan and explore other plans available.
- Choose a plan that fits your needs and click “Upgrade to…”.
- After the payment is completed, you immediately have access to the additional features.
Downgrading Your Plan
- Downgrading is just as straightforward.
- Go to the same section where you upgraded.
- Select a lower-tier plan that suits your current requirements.
- Confirm your choice, and your plan will be adjusted accordingly.
BONUS TIP: Keep in mind, you will not be able to downgrade to a lower plan before you meet the requirements for it. For example, if you want to downgrade to the Starter workspace plan, you need to remove a number of staging websites until you only have two left.
Billing
Webflow offers both monthly and annual billing options, allowing you to choose what works best for your budget. Annual plans often come at a discounted rate, providing long-term savings. For billing management, access the plans section in your workspace. In the upper right corner, you have a toggle switch to change the billing cycle.
Conclusion
- For individuals or small entities needing just one website, Webflow's Starter Workspace Plan often suffices, eliminating the immediate need for a paid upgrade.
- Webflow offers diverse Workspace Plans tailored for individuals, in-house teams, and agencies, with flexible billing and the option to upgrade or downgrade based on your project's scale and team size.
- Key distinctions in plans revolve around user count, site management features, and advanced functionalities like custom code and permission settings.
