Webflow's recent price increase could make Divhunt a very appealing option for agencies

EDIT: Webflow announced a big price increase alongside a feature downgrade after I posted this. This makes my question even more relevant!

We’re an agency that builds and hosts Webflow sites for our clients. We often perform service updates on the sites and therefore prefer to host them in our Workspace. The Growth plan states “0 collaborators” — what does this mean? If the client needs to edit the site, will they need access as a collaborator, or is a simple CMS editor included in the hosting?

Webflow has just announced a price increase alongside a feature downgrade, which is likely to drive many Webflow users to start looking for alternatives. Starting in 2025, Webflow users will face significant extra costs to add collaborators to their projects.

I believe this is a strategically perfect time to make it a bit more appealing for users to switch platforms. Offering 1 included collaborator on the Divhunt Growth plan and increase to 3 included collaborators on the Divhunt Professional plan could attract many Webflow users to make the leap!

Alternatively, consider offering the option to add “light” collaborators, that can perform simple editing tasks for a smaller fee.

As I understand it, yes. Every other user, besides you as an admin, is considered a collaborator. The cool thing is that you can configure access and create almost unlimited user roles.

The problem is that we always need to give our clients editing access to the sites we build. Adding collaborators to a site is only an option starting at the Professional plan. With 24$/mo it’s actually more expensive than Webflow’s CMS plan!

True, I didn’t even notice that you get 2 collaborators only with the CMS plan, and that Divhunt doesn’t offer an annual plan, only monthly.
I’m sure Divhunt is already thinking about an adjusted pricing structure. :slight_smile:

Dejan? @dejan

Divhunt is competitively priced compared to Webflow… until they raise their prices too. It’s only a matter of time before Divhunt increases their pricing plans. Will you look for a new platform then?

These are questions worth answering. It’s an eternal problem to be dependent on a software provider; creators are at their mercy.

Today, you start your startup on Bubble, and a year later, Bubble raises the prices for certain operations, and suddenly your business becomes unprofitable.

This should always be considered when choosing nocode/lowcode tools.

Hey,

I can’t agree on this. With Divhunt, most of the websites can fit in either free or growth plan, since you can use CMS, and theres no features locked. While on Webflow, if you need even a simple CMS for team members for example, you need to go with $29 a month plan, which is 21$ higher than our growth.

In terms of collaborations, we will work on some ideas.

In terms of price raises, we can’t predict the industry, we as well have our costs, and our prices are designed based on our costs, such as Hosting, CDN, Cloud, Email API’s etc.

What I can tell you know is that we will try to keep it as affordable as possible, but we need to make some profit in the end as well, otherwise theres no sense :slight_smile:

So yes, if for example google cloud, hetzner or whole industry double their prices in next 2-3 years, we would need to increase as well. But thats highly unlikely, since we have been using these services for many years now, and prices increased only a bit.

Completely honest: we will reduce our free plan in very near future (only for new projects), and when we do, we will release a post where we explain a decision making for that and more. We will not touch any of other plans in terms of limits and prices.

And to add: we do have a system for organizations, and adding members to be part of your team. Just we never created UI for that. In future we will introduce this, and your team will have access to all of your projects, no matter of project plan.
