Self-host Webflow

Visual website builder + CMS · Category: CMS & site builders

Webflow is the leading visual no-code site builder. Self-hostable replacements cover the visual editor + CMS model; what they don't fully replace is Webflow's design polish and hosting bundle.

Webflow pricing anchor: $23-39/mo per site for the CMS plan.

Webstudio webstudio-is/webstudio alive

GitHub
★ 8.54k · last commit today · 358 open issues
License
AGPL-3.0
Setup time
30min docker-compose (or use the hosted free tier)
Monthly cost
$10 VPS for builder + Postgres; deploy output is static.
Migration sketch. No Webflow importer. Webstudio reads Webflow XML/HTML manually — you copy CSS classes and rebuild components. The Designer UI is intentionally Webflow-shaped to ease the move.
Good fit forDesigners who liked Webflow's interface and want full ownership of the output.
Weak atYounger project; CMS surface is thinner.

Plasmic plasmicapp/plasmic alive

Setup time
20min docker-compose
Monthly cost
$10 VPS for the studio.
Migration sketch. Plasmic generates React components, not standalone HTML — different output target. No Webflow importer; rebuild visually.
Good fit forEngineering teams that want designers to ship to a React/Next codebase visually.
Weak atOutput is React components — not a fit if you wanted plain HTML/CSS.

GrapesJS + a CMS GrapesJS/grapesjs alive

GitHub
★ 25.8k · last commit 12d ago · 37 open issues
License
BSD-3-Clause
Setup time
60min+ (you assemble: GrapesJS editor + a backend like Strapi/Directus)
Monthly cost
$10 VPS once assembled.
Migration sketch. DIY route — GrapesJS is the visual editor library; pair with a headless CMS (Strapi/Directus) for content. No Webflow importer; rebuild from scratch.
Good fit forTeams that want full control of the editor + storage stack.
Weak atSignificant assembly effort; not a turnkey product.
