What are the differences between Site plans and Account plans in Webflow? Can I have multiple projects with their own domains under an Account plan, and can I give clients Editor access? Is CMS and collections available in an Account plan? Are client billing options possible under Site plans? How are bills delivered to clients - digitally or through the mail?

Webflow’s Site plans and Account plans serve different purposes—Site plans are for hosting and publishing individual websites, while Account plans manage your design workspace. Here’s how they differ and how they handle domains, CMS, client billing, and more.

1. Site Plans vs Account Plans

• Site Plans are for individual websites. You need one per custom domain (e.g., clientsite.com). Site plans provide hosting, CMS, SEO options, and Editor access for clients.
• Account Plans are tied to your Webflow user account. They let you build unlimited unhosted projects, collaborate in a Workspace, or export code (only under certain account tiers). Account plans do not provide hosting or CMS functionality.

2. Hosting Multiple Projects with Domains (Account Plan Limitations)

• You cannot host multiple custom domains directly under an Account plan. You must purchase a Site plan for each project you want to connect to a domain (e.g., client1.com, client2.com).
• Account plans only let you design sites and manage them in your dashboard, but each live site needs its own Site plan.

3. Client (Editor) Access

• Editor access is enabled through Site plans, not Account plans.
• Once a Site plan is active, you can give clients Editor-level access so they can update CMS content, edit static content, or manage forms without accessing the Designer.

4. CMS and Collections Availability

• The CMS and Collections features are only available when a CMS or higher Site plan is added to a project.
• Account plans alone do not give access to dynamic CMS features in live environments. You can design CMS collections in the Designer, but they won’t be fully usable or live without a proper Site plan.

5. Client Billing Options

• Client Billing is only available with Site plans, not Account plans.
• You can enable Client Billing during the Site plan checkout process, allowing Webflow to bill a client directly on your behalf.
• You add your client’s payment details, and Webflow bills them monthly (or annually, if selected) for the hosting plan.

6. How Clients Receive Bills

• Webflow delivers billing information digitally via email—not through postal mail.
• The client receives a digital invoice and confirmation each billing cycle based on the Site plan tied to their domain.

Summary

Webflow Site plans are required for hosting, custom domains, CMS features, and giving clients Editor access. Account plans manage design and account-level tools but don’t include live site functionality. You can’t host multiple domains under just an Account plan, and Client Billing is only available with Site plans, with invoices sent digitally, not by mail.
