However, the reviewer noted that tight storage limits, data transfer caps, and paid templates can quickly inflate recurring costs. E-commerce also requires a separate plan starting at $42 per month. PCMag concludes that while Webflow is capable for design-focused creators, rivals like Wix and Duda offer better overall value with fewer add-on fees. ## Media review PCMag rates Webflow Website Builder 3.5 and describes it as a capable, intuitive builder with useful CMS tools, while concluding that paid extras and plan limits make Duda and Wix better values.
