What does your platform cost you?
Three years on Webflow, Wix, Framer, or WordPress vs. a Next.js or Astro stack you own. Free, no sign-up, nothing stored.
Staying on Webflow costs you

- Every month
- €363
- Over three years
- €13,050
The €13,050 is your break-even budget: the most a migration could cost and still pay for itself in three years. Every month you wait adds another €363.

Starting values are rough examples, not quotes. Use your invoices. Migration cost isn’t included.
How it’s calculated.
Four parts, all editable. Nothing is hidden in the math.
- 01
Your platform today
Plan, paid seats, extra languages, add-ons or plugins, and the developer hours spent working around the platform each month.
- 02
Your own stack
Hosting, a headless CMS licence if you choose a hosted one, and the hours needed to keep dependencies updated.
- 03
Three years
Monthly costs added up over 36 months. The platform side can rise each year for plan changes, more seats, or more pages.
- 04
What’s left out
The migration itself. The three-year difference is the break-even budget: the most a migration could cost and still pay for itself.
Calculator questions.
Anything else, ask on the call.
Where do the starting numbers come from?
They’re rough monthly examples for a small B2B marketing site, not vendor quotes. Platform pricing changes often, so replace every number with the one on your invoices.
Can I use dollars instead of euros?
Yes. The calculator works in euros or US dollars and picks one based on where you appear to be. Switch with the EUR / USD toggle at the top; each currency has its own starting values.
Why is developer time on both sides?
Because both sides need it. On a platform it goes into embeds, workarounds, and plugin updates. On your own stack it goes into dependency updates and small changes. The calculator uses one hourly rate for both so the comparison stays fair.
What if the calculator says staying is cheaper?
Then staying may be the right call, at least on cost. Ownership, flexibility, and content structure are the other reasons teams move, and the assessment weighs all of them.
Is the migration cost included?
No. It depends on page count, CMS complexity, languages, and integrations, so the free assessment ends in a fixed scope and price. Typical ranges are on the pricing page. The calculator shows the budget at which a migration pays for itself in three years.
Check it against your invoices.
The assessment swaps these estimates for your own numbers, and ends in a fixed scope and price.
