The story
The pain
We're seeing our costs skyrocket while Webflow's pricing becomes harder to justify to clients. The recent increases are pushing us to migrate sites to cheaper alternatives, and we're losing business because clients refuse to pay the new rates. It's becoming impossible to work as an agency when the platform's pricing model keeps changing and locking us in.

I already migrated my sites off Webflow. The pricing is out of control.
I also cancelled my plan last week after being with Webflow for five years. The pricing has been creeping up for a while and their shady confusing pricing tactics are annoying to decipher. It just doesn't make sense when the alternatives are significantly cheaper and offer the same or better products.
Basically they're not willing to eat around 290 per year anymore, when they know or reasearch for themselves that it can be way cheaper. So I got to adapt, hence why I'm migrating away and setting everything up selfhosted with Webstudio/Ycode.
