Do I need to pay for an additional seat in Webflow after already paying for one?
TL;DR
- Webflow charges per user (seat) in a Workspace, so you only pay for extra seats if you add collaborators beyond your plan’s included limit.
- Editor access for CMS content does not require a paid seat, and solo users typically only need one.
If you're collaborating with others or managing permissions in Webflow, you might need to pay for additional seats, depending on your Workspace plan and team structure.
1. Understand Webflow’s Seat-Based Pricing
- Webflow uses a Workspace-based system where pricing is based on the number of seats (users) with access to a specific Workspace.
- A “seat” refers to an individual user who can log in and edit or manage projects within that Workspace.
- If you’re the only person using Webflow, your single paid seat is enough.
2. Determine If You Need More Seats
You need to pay for additional seats if:
- You want to invite collaborators or team members into the same Workspace to work on projects.
- You’re on the Freelancer or Agency plan and need multiple people to build or manage Webflow projects.
You do not need extra seats if:
- You're the only person accessing the backend, or you're sharing exported code outside Webflow (only on paid plans with code export).
- You're simply granting Editor access for content editing on a CMS-connected site (this does not require a paid seat).
3. Check Your Current Plan and Usage
- Go to Workspace Settings > Members to view your current team and how many seats are in use.
- Adding a new team member will prompt Webflow to charge for an additional seat if you're over your plan’s included seat count.
Summary
You only need to pay for an additional seat in Webflow if you're adding another user to your Workspace beyond the seats included in your current plan. Solo users generally only need one paid seat.
