Between global outages, SSL errors, and a high-profile bug that incorrectly capped paid accounts at &#8220;Starter&#8221; plan limits, users have been vocal about the need for better stability. However, the latest update from Webflow isn&#8217;t a technical fix &#8211; it\u2019s a mandatory migration to a new pricing structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on recent communications, Webflow is consolidating its mid-tier options into a new <strong>&#8220;Premium Site&#8221; plan<\/strong>, and the fine print reveals some significant changes for current customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Breakdown: Pay More, Get Half?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The details in the new plan structure show a clear pivot toward higher costs for essentially the same &#8211; or in some cases, reduced &#8211; resources:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Price Jump:<\/strong> The new Premium plan is set at <strong>$25\/mo<\/strong> (billed yearly) or <strong>$39\/mo<\/strong> (billed monthly).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mandatory Migrations:<\/strong> Current CMS plan users are being moved directly into this higher-priced tier.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Bandwidth Squeeze:<\/strong> In the most controversial move, Business plan customers migrating to Premium will see their included bandwidth slashed from <strong>100GB down to 50GB<\/strong>. Any usage beyond that will now require &#8220;bandwidth add-ons&#8221;. You can add 50 GB of bandwidth at $20\/month when paid yearly, or $30\/month.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Basic Plan Increases:<\/strong> Even entry-level sites are seeing costs rise to <strong>$15\/mo<\/strong> (yearly) or <strong>$25\/mo<\/strong> (monthly). While static page limits are increasing to 300 (from 150), it\u2019s a trade-off many users didn&#8217;t ask for.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimatewb.com\/blog\/5403\/webflows-shifting-focus-a-blow-to-membership-sites-and-a-rise-in-costs\/\">Webflow\u2019s Shifting Focus: A Blow to Membership Sites and a Rise in Costs<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimatewb.com\/blog\/7786\/just-run-a-proxy-the-hidden-cost-of-hosted-website-builders-webflow-wix-and-more\/\">\u201cJust Run a Proxy\u201d: The Hidden Cost of Hosted Website Builders (Webflow, Wix, and More)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimatewb.com\/blog\/7715\/is-the-webflow-partner-program-worth-it\/\">Is the Webflow Partner Program Worth It?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Timing and Reliability: The Real Concern<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The timing of this &#8220;Premium&#8221; rollout is what has the community on edge.
