Wix Studio vs Webflow: which should your agency use?

Both are aimed at designers and agencies building client sites. Wix Studio brings Wix's business apps and a simpler handover; Webflow brings precise layout control and a deeper CMS.

Sign up free: 3 template sites on a we.inc address. AI building from $20/mo.

The short answer

Pick Wix Studio if your clients need bookings, stores or events and you want them to edit in a friendly editor. Pick Webflow if you want precise control over layout and a strong CMS for content-heavy marketing sites.

Webflow site plans are Basic $15 and Premium $25 a month billed yearly (checked September 2026), plus seats for extra editors. Wix Studio sites use Wix's premium site plans; we did not check the Studio plan page for this comparison, so see wix.com/studio/plans.

We.Inc builds client sites from a description, with a white-label plan from $99/mo for 25 client sites. Free for 3 template sites; AI from $20/mo.

Verdict by buyer

An agency building sites for local businesses that need bookings or a shop: Wix Studio. A design studio building custom marketing sites with lots of structured content: Webflow. A freelancer who wants the lowest price per site with a known figure today: Webflow Basic. An agency that wants AI to write each client site: We.Inc.

First-year and three-year cost

Plan fees only, billed yearly at the prices checked September 2026 and assuming no change: Webflow Basic is $180 a year and $540 over three years per site; Premium is $300 and $900, plus editor seats. For Wix Studio, note the site plan your client needs on wix.com/studio/plans and multiply by the years and the number of client sites.

We.Inc, for comparison: the free plan costs nothing but has no AI and no custom domain. Starter, which adds AI building and custom domains, is $20 a month: $240 for the first year and $720 over three years at today's price.

A five-task test to run before you pay for Wix Studio or Webflow

Designer and agency tools are easy to judge on a demo and hard to judge on a real client job. Give Wix Studio or Webflow the same small brief: a studio or client website with a projects collection, three reusable service pages and a client who edits it after launch.

1. Set up a projects collection (title, image, summary) and add five entries. 2. Build one service page, then reuse its layout for two more and note how much you had to redo. 3. Invite the client as an editor and check what they can change, and what that seat costs. 4. Connect a custom domain and confirm it loads with a padlock. 5. Export whatever the tool lets you export and note what stays behind.

Write down which plan each step needed, including editor seats. That is the real monthly cost of a client site.

Ownership, integrations and moving away

Wix Studio sites cannot be exported to run elsewhere, so leaving means rebuilding. Webflow exports HTML and CSS, but CMS content and hosting features stay behind; CMS items can go out as CSV. Neither imports the other's pages. Wix leans on its App Market; Webflow on integrations and custom code.

When each option wins

Wix Studio wins on built-in business apps and easy client editing. Webflow wins on layout control and CMS depth. We.Inc is an option if you would rather describe the business and have AI write the first version: free for 3 template sites on a we.inc address without AI, and AI building with custom domains from $20 a month.
