By [Nicolás Cerón](https://dardo.studio/en/nicolas-ceron/) ·October 17, 2026 ![A rain-slicked rail yard at night where a single crimson switch lever stands thrown beside the points, sending a line of wagons onto a new track.](https://dardo.studio/_astro/01M5632F2ZXANYTF8DZ43A2A7R_mgh1y.webp) ## Key takeaways - For a bilingual 30-page site with a blog and three people, Framer Pro cost USD 960 a year against USD 1,296 on Webflow after its 2026 renewal, billed yearly, as of 17 October 2026. - At a saving of USD 336 a year, every USD 1,000 spent on the migration takes about three years to recover, so the workflow, not the bill, should drive the move. - Framer has no importer for Webflow pages: its own guide has you rebuild pages and import each CMS collection from Webflow's CSV exports, referenced collections first. - Redirects need Framer's Pro plan; they support wildcards and capture groups, only cover paths on the same domain, and can be bulk-imported as a from/to CSV. - Stay on Webflow if the site has more than about 10,000 CMS items, sells online, needs more than ten editors or must be able to export its code. ## The short answer Moving from Webflow to Framer pays when your team is small, design-led and paying Webflow for seats and languages. For a typical bilingual marketing site with three people, Framer costs **USD 336 to 576 a year less** than Webflow's 2026 pricing, so a rebuild takes years to pay back on price alone. Move for the workflow, not only the bill. There's no one-click importer. As of 17 October 2026, Framer's own [migration guide](https://www.framer.com/guides/webflow-to-framer-step-by-step/) has you rebuild the pages and import the CMS from Webflow's CSV exports. Framer's agent can draft pages from your live URL, a third-party plugin moves related collections in one pass, and redirects need Framer's Pro plan. Don't switch if the site has more than about 10,000 CMS items, sells online, needs more than ten editors, or depends on tools that don't work with Framer. The rest of this guide prices one site both ways, lists what imports and what doesn't, and gives a step-by-step plan and checklist. ## When it pays: one site priced both ways The site: 30 designed pages, a blog with posts, authors and categories (three collections, about 600 items), English and Spanish, 70 GB of traffic a month. A marketing lead owns it, a designer builds pages and a writer publishes posts. Prices are Webflow's and Framer's own, read on 17 October 2026 ([Webflow pricing](https://webflow.com/pricing), [Framer pricing](https://www.framer.com/pricing)). | Line, billed yearly | Webflow after the 2026 renewal | Framer Pro | | ----------------------- | ------------------------------ | ---------------------- | | Site plan | Premium, USD 25 | Pro, USD 30 | | Bandwidth past the plan | 100 GB tier, USD 20 | Included (100 GB) | | Spanish | Localize Essential, USD 9 | One locale, USD 20 | | Designer | Full seat, USD 39 | Editor, USD 20 | | Writer | Limited seat, USD 15 | Content editor, USD 10 | | Per month | USD 108 | USD 80 | | Per year | USD 1,296 | **USD 960** | The difference is **USD 336 a year**. If the Spanish pages need translated URLs, Webflow needs Localize Advanced at USD 29 a locale, and the gap grows to USD 576. Billed monthly, it's USD 1,740 against USD 1,380, a gap of USD 360. Before the renewal, this site would have been on Webflow's old Business plan, USD 39 a month with 100 GB ([Webflow pricing as archived on 11 May 2026](https://web.archive.org/web/20260511045343/https://webflow.com/pricing)), so the 2026 change itself added only USD 72 a year. Most of the gap is seats and languages, which Webflow didn't reprice ([Webflow blog](https://webflow.com/blog/simplified-plans-and-updated-pricing-2026)). The break-even is simple division. At USD 336 a year, every USD 1,000 you spend on the migration takes about three years to recover; at USD 576, about 21 months. Our [website migration cost](https://dardo.studio/en/blog/website-migration-cost/) guide collects published prices for Webflow moves, and our [Webflow renewal calculator](https://dardo.studio/en/tools/webflow-pricing-calculator/) prices your own site on both platforms. Two timing notes: - Sites in Freelancer or Agency Workspaces, and sites on 2022-or-earlier pricing, move to Webflow's new prices at a renewal on or after **16 November 2026**. Switching to yearly billing before then keeps the current plan for one more year ([Webflow blog](https://webflow.com/blog/simplified-plans-and-updated-pricing-2026)). - The case reverses for content-heavy sites. With 15,000 CMS items in 12 collections, Webflow Premium still costs USD 25, while Framer Pro needs USD 40 for items and USD 40 for collections on top of USD 30. With the same two seats, that's USD 948 a year on Webflow and USD 1,680 on Framer. ## What Framer can import from Webflow in 2026 | What | How it gets into Framer | From whom | | ------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Pages, layouts, styles | Rebuilt on the canvas, by hand or with Framer's Agent working from your live URL and screenshots | Framer | | CMS collections | CSV import into a matching collection, one at a time, referenced collections first | Framer | | Related collections in one pass | The Webflow Import plugin reads Webflow's CSVs together, keeps references, galleries and rich-text media, and can copy images and files into Framer | Third party, USD 49 a project or USD 99 unlimited; first 25 items per collection free | | Webflow's 301 redirects | Re-entered in Framer, imported as a CSV through the Redirect Sync plugin, or carried by the plugin above | Framer and third party | | Interactions | Rebuilt as effects, component variants or code | Rebuild | | Forms | Rebuilt with Framer forms or an embedded form service | Rebuild | | Past form submissions | Download the CSV from Webflow and keep it; nothing imports them | Webflow | Sources: Framer's [step-by-step guide](https://www.framer.com/guides/webflow-to-framer-step-by-step/), [Migrating with Agents](https://www.framer.com/guides/webflow-to-framer-agents/), the [Webflow Import plugin](https://www.framer.com/marketplace/plugins/webflow-import/) (published 29 September 2026) and [Framer Help on bulk redirects](https://www.framer.com/help/articles/bulk-importing-exporting-redirects/). Framer is explicit that Webflow's code export won't help much: it's useful for collecting assets and inspecting markup, but the CMS, forms, search, localization and ecommerce don't come with it (Framer's guide). If a Framer Expert runs your move, ask about **Switch**: Framer gives Experts up to 50,000 AI credits per approved client site moving to Framer, valid for three months ([Framer Switch](https://www.framer.com/switch/)). Framer's own advice is to treat the agent's output as a first pass that a person checks. ## The plan, step by step ### 1\. Take inventory List every URL (static, CMS, localized and campaign pages), every collection with its fields and references, every form and where it sends, and every integration: analytics, consent, CRM, chat, embeds and custom code. Mark each page keep, rebuild, merge, redirect or remove. Crawl the live site and save each URL's title, description, canonical and status code; you'll compare against this list at launch. If your site once used Webflow Logic or User Accounts, those features are gone (retired on 27 June 2025 and 29 January 2026), so the site already runs on a replacement such as Zapier, Make, Outseta or Memberstack ([Webflow](https://webflow.com/updates/deprecating-logic-and-user-accounts)). Check that the replacement works with Framer before you plan anything else. ### 2\. Export everything from Webflow - **Each collection to CSV,** from the CMS panel. The file holds only the locale in view, so export once per language. Multi-references come out as comma-separated text, rich text as HTML, and images and files as links to Webflow's hosting ([Webflow Help](https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/33961290794771)). - **Every image and file.** Webflow warns that those links break if you delete the site, including images inside rich text. Download them now, or have the import copy them into Framer. - **Your 301 redirects,** from Site settings, Publishing, 301 redirects, as CSV ([Webflow Help](https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/33961211526291)). - **Form submissions,** as CSV. ### 3\. Pick the Framer plan Most migrations need **Pro**. Basic can't hold redirects, staging, more than two collections or more than 30 designed pages, and its limits don't grow ([Framer pricing](https://www.framer.com/pricing)). Our [Framer pricing 2026](https://dardo.studio/en/blog/framer-pricing-2026/) guide has every limit and add-on. ### 4\. Build the system on one page Framer's guide recommends rebuilding one representative page first, one with the navigation, repeated sections, CMS content, a form and the responsive patterns, then reusing that system everywhere. Webflow classes become Framer text and color styles, variables and components; Webflow symbols become components; breakpoints are set up again for desktop, tablet and phone. A Webflow site with years of one-off class combinations usually comes out simpler. ### 5\. Move the CMS 1. Create the collections and fields in Framer first. 2. Import referenced collections (authors, categories) before the ones that point at them (posts). 3. Test a handful of representative items, then import the rest. 4. Check slugs, dates, rich text, images, options and references on a real list page and a real detail page. Keep every slug unchanged unless you have a reason not to. Each unchanged URL is one redirect you don't need. ### 6\. Rebuild the interactions Webflow's interactions don't transfer. Framer's guide maps them to effects, component variants or code. List them, rebuild the ones that help the story, and drop the rest. This is often where a migration pays off in page speed. ### 7\. Recreate the languages Map each Webflow locale to a Framer locale, at USD 20 a month each, up to 20 ([Framer pricing](https://www.framer.com/pricing)). Framer can translate page paths and CMS slugs per locale ([Framer Help](https://www.framer.com/help/articles/localized-page-paths/)), so you can match your current Spanish URLs or improve them with redirects. Framer sets the lang and hreflang tags itself, and you can't edit them ([Framer Help](https://www.framer.com/help/articles/language-attribute/)). Webflow exports one CSV per locale; bring in the translations for a few items first and check them in every locale, since how translated fields map depends on the import route you use. ### 8\. Rebuild forms and integrations Framer's native forms send to email, Google Sheets or a webhook, and it has built-in integrations for HubSpot, Typeform and Formspark; anything else embeds ([Framer Help](https://www.framer.com/help/articles/how-can-i-add-a-contact-form-to-my-framer-website/)). Match required fields, consent text, success messages and tracking. Then add analytics, tag manager and the consent banner, and test each on the production domain. ### 9\. Set up redirects Only changed or removed URLs need one. In Framer, redirects live in Site Settings, Hosting, Redirects, on Pro ([Framer Help](https://www.framer.com/help/articles/how-to-setup-redirects-to-maintain-seo-ranking/)): - `*` matches any path segment: `/blog/*` covers every post. - `:1`, `:2` reuse what the wildcard matched in the new URL. - Named segments such as `/blog/:year/:month/:day` match exact patterns. - Only paths on the same domain can be redirected. A domain change is redirected at the old domain's host. - Renaming a page or CMS path in Framer doesn't update existing redirects. Update them by hand. For bulk imports, the Redirect Sync plugin takes a CSV with `from` and `to` columns, plus an optional `expandToAllLocales` column: ```txt from,to /post/old-pricing-guide,/blog/pricing-guide /team/*,/about ``` Our [redirect map generator](https://dardo.studio/en/tools/redirect-map-generator/) matches your Webflow and Framer sitemaps and exports the CSV. ### 10\. Check SEO before the switch On the Framer staging domain, check: - every important URL returns the page or a single redirect, with no chains; - titles, descriptions, canonicals and Open Graph images match your crawl from step 1; - structured data is back: Framer takes JSON-LD as custom code ([Framer Help](https://www.framer.com/help/articles/guide-to-seo-features-and-tools/)); - the sitemap, robots.txt and the 404 page; - the staging domain isn't indexable. Framer's [SEO migration guide](https://www.framer.com/guides/webflow-to-framer-seo/) adds one point people miss: use Google's Change of Address tool only if the domain changes, not for a platform move on the same domain. ### 11\. Switch the domain Connect the domain in Framer, update DNS, wait for SSL and run the checks again on the live domain. Keep the Webflow site and plan until everything is verified. Large sites can move in stages. With Framer's Advanced Hosting add-on (USD 200 a month billed yearly), a Multi Site rule sends any path Framer doesn't have yet back to the Webflow site, so pages go live one by one at the same URLs ([Framer Help](https://www.framer.com/help/articles/how-to-migrate-a-site-to-framer-page-by-page/)). ### 12\. Watch the first weeks Submit the sitemap in Search Console, inspect your top pages, and fix 404s and redirect chains as they appear. Keep redirects in place for as long as possible, generally at least a year, as [Google's site-move guidance](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/site-move-with-url-changes) recommends. Cancel Webflow only after every image and file has been re-hosted. Our [website migration SEO checklist](https://dardo.studio/en/blog/website-migration-seo-checklist/) covers the 90 days after launch. ## When not to switch - **A large CMS.** Framer Pro includes 2,500 items and 10 collections and stops at 40,000 and 40 with add-ons. Webflow Premium includes 20,000 items and 40 collections. Past about 10,000 items, Framer usually costs more, as the example above shows. - **Selling online.** Framer has no built-in store, and its own comparison page says Wix "deserves the shortlist" when native commerce, bookings or payments matter ([Framer](https://www.framer.com/compare/framer-vs-wix)). If you sell through Webflow Ecommerce, stay, or plan a separate store. - **More than ten editors.** Framer's Basic and Pro stop at ten people with edit access; an eleventh means Enterprise. Webflow sells as many seats as you need. - **Fine-grained roles.** Framer's Pro roles are Design, Content and Deploy per project ([Framer Help](https://www.framer.com/help/articles/member-roles-and-permissions/)). If you rely on Webflow's site-level roles and publishing permissions across many sites, compare carefully. - **Member areas or app logic.** Framer's pricing page lists password protection but no member accounts, so whatever replaced Webflow's User Accounts has to support Framer. - **Code you'll want back.** Webflow's paid Workspace plans export a site's code. Framer says it doesn't offer HTML export for self-hosting ([Framer Help](https://www.framer.com/help/articles/can-i-export-my-website-to-html-and-self-host-it/)). If owning the code matters, look at [moving Webflow to Astro](https://dardo.studio/en/blog/webflow-to-astro/) instead. For every other destination and its running cost, see [Webflow alternatives in 2026](https://dardo.studio/en/blog/webflow-alternatives/). For the platform choice itself, [Webflow vs Framer](https://dardo.studio/en/blog/webflow-vs-framer/) compares editing, CMS, languages and lock-in. ## The checklist Before: - Crawl of every URL with title, description, canonical and status saved - URL map: keep, redirect, merge or remove for each URL - Each collection exported to CSV, once per locale - Every image and file downloaded - 301 redirects and form submissions exported - Replacements for Logic, User Accounts and other integrations confirmed to work with Framer - Framer plan chosen (Pro if you need redirects or staging) During: - One representative page rebuilt and approved - Referenced collections imported first, then the rest - Interactions rebuilt or dropped on purpose - Locales, translated paths and slugs checked - Forms, analytics and consent tested - Redirects added and tested, no chains - Metadata, canonicals and JSON-LD restored - Staging domain kept out of search After: - DNS and SSL live, checks repeated on the domain - Sitemap submitted, top pages inspected - 404s and redirect errors fixed weekly for the first month - Webflow cancelled only after assets are re-hosted ## What to do next Price your site on both platforms in the [Webflow renewal calculator](https://dardo.studio/en/tools/webflow-pricing-calculator/), then build your redirect list with the [redirect map generator](https://dardo.studio/en/tools/redirect-map-generator/). If you'd rather hand the move over, Dardo runs it as a [website migration](https://dardo.studio/en/services/website-migration/) or a full [Framer development](https://dardo.studio/en/services/framer-development/) project. ## Common questions **Can I import a Webflow site into Framer?** Not as a whole site. As of October 2026, Framer's own guide has you rebuild pages and import CMS collections from Webflow's CSV exports. Framer's agent can draft pages from your live URL, and a third-party plugin can import several related collections at once with their references and images. **Will I lose my Google rankings moving from Webflow to Framer?** Not if every URL that earns traffic keeps working. Keep paths and CMS slugs where you can, add a redirect for each URL that changes, and carry over titles, descriptions, canonicals and structured data. Check everything on the staging domain before switching DNS, and keep the redirects for at least a year. **Does Framer support redirects on every plan?** No. Redirects are on Pro and Enterprise only, not Basic. They support wildcards, capture groups and named segments, cover paths on the same domain, and can be imported in bulk as a CSV with from and to columns. **Is Framer cheaper than Webflow after the 2026 price change?** For most marketing sites, yes, by a few hundred dollars a year, mainly because Framer's editor seats and languages cost less. In our example, a bilingual site with three people paid USD 960 a year on Framer and USD 1,296 on Webflow. Sites with many CMS items can cost more on Framer. **How do I move Webflow CMS collections with references to Framer?** Export each collection from Webflow as CSV, once per language, and download every image and file. Create the matching collections in Framer, import the referenced ones (such as authors) before the ones that point to them (such as posts), and test a few items before importing the rest. **Should I cancel Webflow as soon as the Framer site is live?** No. Keep the Webflow site until every image and file is re-hosted and the live Framer site has been checked. Images in Webflow's CSV exports are links to Webflow's hosting, and Webflow warns they break if the site is deleted. ## Sources & further reading Sources behind this page, with further detail from the original publishers. - [Framer: Webflow to Framer, step-by-step migration](https://www.framer.com/guides/webflow-to-framer-step-by-step/) · framer.com - [Framer: Webflow to Framer SEO migration](https://www.framer.com/guides/webflow-to-framer-seo/) · framer.com - [Framer: Webflow to Framer, migrating with Agents](https://www.framer.com/guides/webflow-to-framer-agents/) · framer.com - [Framer: Switch](https://www.framer.com/switch/) · framer.com - [Framer Marketplace: Webflow Import plugin](https://www.framer.com/marketplace/plugins/webflow-import/) · framer.com - [Framer: Pricing](https://www.framer.com/pricing) · framer.com - [Framer Help: How to set up redirects to maintain SEO ranking](https://www.framer.com/help/articles/how-to-setup-redirects-to-maintain-seo-ranking/) · framer.com - [Framer Help: Bulk exporting and importing redirects](https://www.framer.com/help/articles/bulk-importing-exporting-redirects/) · framer.com - [Framer Help: Localized page paths](https://www.framer.com/help/articles/localized-page-paths/) · framer.com - [Framer Help: Language attribute](https://www.framer.com/help/articles/language-attribute/) · framer.com - [Framer Help: Adding a contact form](https://www.framer.com/help/articles/how-can-i-add-a-contact-form-to-my-framer-website/) · framer.com - [Framer Help: Migrating to Framer page by page](https://www.framer.com/help/articles/how-to-migrate-a-site-to-framer-page-by-page/) · framer.com - [Framer Help: Can I export my website to HTML and self-host it?](https://www.framer.com/help/articles/can-i-export-my-website-to-html-and-self-host-it/) · framer.com - [Webflow: Pricing](https://webflow.com/pricing) · webflow.com - [Webflow pricing as archived on 11 May 2026: Internet Archive](https://web.archive.org/web/20260511045343/https://webflow.com/pricing) · web.archive.org - [Webflow blog: Simplified plans and updated pricing](https://webflow.com/blog/simplified-plans-and-updated-pricing-2026) · webflow.com - [Webflow Help: How do I import content into the Webflow CMS?](https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/33961290794771) · help.webflow.com - [Webflow Help: Import/export 301 redirects](https://help.webflow.com/hc/en-us/articles/33961211526291) · help.webflow.com - [Webflow: Deprecating Logic and User Accounts](https://webflow.com/updates/deprecating-logic-and-user-accounts) · webflow.com - [Google Search Central: Site moves with URL changes](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/site-move-with-url-changes) · developers.google.com [Nicolás Cerón](https://dardo.studio/en/nicolas-ceron/) Nicolás Cerón is the founder of Dardo, a brand, web design and development studio in Bogotá, Colombia. ## Related articles - [**Webflow alternatives in 2026: what each one costs to run, and what it takes to move off Webflow**Framer, WordPress, a coded site, Wix Studio, Squarespace or HubSpot: what each costs to run a 20-page site with a blog, and what leaving Webflow takes.](https://dardo.studio/en/blog/webflow-alternatives/) - [**Webflow vs Framer: which to choose for a marketing site in 2026, with real costs**Webflow vs Framer in 2026: who should pick which, what a 20-page site with a 300-post blog in two languages costs on each, and when to pick neither.](https://dardo.studio/en/blog/webflow-vs-framer/) - [**Webflow to Astro: how to migrate a Webflow site without losing content, design or rankings**Webflow's code export leaves out the CMS, forms, search and localized pages.
