US dollars a month, billed yearly, as of November 2026. Billed monthly, Webflow Basic is $25 and Premium is $39; Team is a yearly contract. Contentful lists Lite at $300 a month; it is a headless CMS, so the front end and its hosting cost extra.
Our conclusion.
Contentful makes sense for enterprise teams with complex, multi-channel content needs and dedicated engineering resources. If your content needs to power apps, kiosks, and websites simultaneously, Contentful’s headless approach has clear advantages.
Webflow and Contentful solve different problems. Webflow is an all-in-one platform for building, managing, and hosting websites. Contentful is a headless CMS that manages content and delivers it via API. You still need to build and host the front-end separately.
Webflow is the simpler and more cost-effective choice for marketing teams and businesses. It suits those that want to design, publish, and manage a website without a developer on call.
