What is the maximum number of items that can be added to a collection in the Webflow Lite Account Plan?
TL;DR
- The Lite Account Plan allows CMS features but limits each project to 50 CMS items without hosting.
- To increase CMS item limits (e.g., 2,000 or 10,000), you must add a CMS Hosting Plan to the individual project.
The Webflow Lite Account Plan allows creation of projects with CMS features, but does not set collection limits on the account plan level—limits are defined by the hosting plan tied to each individual project.
1. Understand Account Plan vs Hosting Plan
- The Lite Account Plan lets you build and export up to 10 unhosted projects with CMS and Ecommerce, but CMS item limits come from the site’s Hosting Plan, not the account.
- Without CMS Hosting, you are limited to 50 CMS items for testing/design only.
2. CMS Item Limits by Hosting Plan
If you use Webflow CMS Hosting on a project, CMS limits are:
- CMS Site Plan: 2,000 CMS items
- Business Site Plan: 10,000 CMS items
- Enterprise Plan: Higher/custom limits (upon request)
Without CMS hosting, you can still add:
- Up to 50 CMS items per project as part of testing on the Lite or any Account Plan.
3. Definition of a CMS Item
- One CMS item = any entry in a Collection, such as one blog post, author profile, product, etc.
- The 50-item limit includes all items across all Collections, not per Collection.
Summary
The Lite Account Plan itself allows CMS use, but you're limited to 50 total CMS items per project without a hosting plan. To increase that limit, you must add CMS hosting where you get up to 2,000 or more items, depending on the plan.
