Webflow vs Wix vs Squarespace vs Framer
Four no-code website builders with very different free tiers — a pro-grade visual CSS designer with free staging projects, the popular drag-and-drop builder free forever with ads, a template-driven commerce builder with no forever-free tier, and a design-to-published-site tool free for 3 sites — compared on free sites, CMS, custom domains, ecommerce, and branding.

| Free tier note | A professional no-code website builder with a visual CSS-grade designer. The free Workspace plan lets you design up to 2 projects and publish each to a webflow.io staging subdomain with 50 CMS items and 2 collaborators — no custom domain on free; a paid Site plan (Basic from ~$14/mo) is required to connect a custom domain and remove Webflow branding. | The popular drag-and-drop website builder. Wix is free forever: build and publish one site on a Wix-branded subdomain (username.wixsite.com/sitename) with 500 MB storage, 500 MB bandwidth, and Wix display ads. No custom domain and no ad removal on free; paid Light from ~$17/mo adds a custom domain, removes ads, and raises storage + bandwidth. | An all-in-one template-driven website + commerce builder. Squarespace has no forever-free tier — a 14-day free trial, then paid plans from ~$16/mo (Personal) for a custom domain, unlimited bandwidth + storage, and no ads. Strong designer templates and built-in commerce, marketing, and scheduling. | Design + publish a real website in one tool — Framer is a no-code site builder with a Figma-like canvas.
