The maintenance
If a lot of plugins are installed, WordPress requires a lot of maintenance in the form of updates. Although there is the option to have updates carried out automatically, this often leads to problems. Automatic updates can result in newly added functions being incompatible with the existing website, server or other plugins.

With Webflow, users basically have no hassle when it comes to maintenance. Updates and backups are handled directly by the provider. The big advantage is that plugins do not need to be updated with Webflow, as there are none at all.

The costs
WordPress is available free of charge to all users. This means that website operators can download and use the software free of charge. However, the costs for hosting, the domain and possibly paid themes and plugins are not included. So designing a website with WordPress is usually never completely free.

Webflow has a free version available. However, this is only suitable for testing whether you like the CMS. However, since the CMS already includes hosting, you should opt for a paid plan if you want to create a website. The cheapest plan starts at $14 per month. So right from the start, the costs are significantly higher than those of WordPress.

Webflow vs. WordPress: It depends on your expectations and the type of website
For example, if website operators want to create a website quickly and without high costs and additional functions, WordPress is a good choice. The large community is constantly developing the CMS and provides support if problems or questions arise. However, if you want to create a very individual website, you usually need previous knowledge of programming or a long training period with WordPress.

Webflow is suitable for all users who want to create an individual website without any prior knowledge and without much effort. Since Webflow does not have any additional plugins, the maintenance effort is very low or is completely taken care of by the CMS experts. However, there are monthly costs right from the start.

It is hardly possible to say in general terms which of the content management systems presented is actually better. It always depends on which functions and which experience you expect when creating your own website. Both WordPress and Webflow have their advantages and are better or worse suited depending on the web project. However, WordPress' large market share is entirely justified due to its ease of use and large community.
