Which should you build the landing page in?
Carrd if you want the page live this week: $19 a year, custom domain included, nothing to learn beyond a block editor. Webflow if design control is the point — its Basic site plan is $15 a month billed yearly, and the class-based editor rewards people who think in layout systems.
Carrd vs Webflow, side by side.
Webflow consolidated its site plans in May 2026; figures below are the current published tiers.
| Option | Price | Learning curve | Design control | CMS and blog | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carrd | Free tier; Pro Standard $19 per year for a custom domain | Small — block-based sections, ready in an afternoon | Good within one-page layouts; no custom classes | No CMS — content is edited in place | Shipping one focused page fast and cheap |
| Webflow | Free Starter on a webflow.io subdomain; Basic $15 per month billed yearly; Premium $25 per month adds the CMS | Real — classes, breakpoints, and interactions take weeks to get fluent | Near hand-coded — full box model, grid, and animation control | Yes — CMS collections on the Premium plan | Designers who want production-grade control and structured content |
When Carrd is the right call.
The page is a means to an end — validate the idea, collect the emails, sell the thing. Carrd's constraint of one page is a feature: fewer decisions, faster shipping, $19 a year instead of $180. Start from a proven layout in the Templates of Carrd catalog and spend the saved week on the product. Tier details are in Is Carrd Pro worth it?
When Webflow earns its price.
The page is the product — an agency site, a design portfolio that has to prove craft, or a marketing site that will grow into CMS-driven case studies and a blog. Webflow's control over spacing, type, and interactions is genuinely better than Carrd's, and no one-page builder replaces a CMS. If you have the design skill and the time, it is the stronger long-term tool.
