Webflow for Students was a free annual plan for one website that students could apply for through their university. According to the Webflow help center, the program is being discontinued. New applications and code redemptions were only possible until 28 February 2026. This guide explains what still applies and which free plan remains. Last updated: October 2026.
Short answer: According to the Webflow help center, the student offer has ended. Applications and redemptions were possible until 28 February 2026, so the student price for the CMS plan no longer applies to new cases. The free Starter plan remains, but it has no CMS features and no publishing on your own domain. The help center says the offer no longer applies to new applications. Last updated: October 2026, offers change often.

These details come from the Webflow help page on the student program, last updated October 2026. Webflow publishes the current price of the CMS plan on its pricing page. You will find an overview of all student offers for AI tools in the hub KI-Tools für Studierende (in German).
Who Was the Student Offer For?
According to the help page, the offer was aimed at students at accredited universities. They needed a school email address and proof of enrolment. Students at approved online course providers received a link from their lecturer. After approval, an email with a personal code followed. The page does not name any countries or regions.
What Happens to a Website Still on the Student Plan?
If you redeemed the discount before 28 February 2026, you keep it until the end of the current period. After that, the card on file is charged on the next renewal date, unless you cancel the plan. The help page describes that you can contact support before the next billing date to continue the plan. You then need proof of student status, plus a timetable or transcript showing your term dates and the name of your site.
Also note: if you cancel the CMS plan, every site on a custom domain is unpublished. Plan any renewal or cancellation in good time before the billing cycle ends.
Which Free Option Remains?
According to the help page, the Starter plan is free. It includes a .webflow.io staging domain, so you can build a site for testing. The help page names two limits: the plan lacks CMS features, and it does not allow publishing on your own domain.
For a first layout, an exercise or a concept, that is often enough. For a site with its own address, such as a portfolio for job applications, you need a paid plan. If you only need design work and do not publish a website, a design tool such as Canva for students (in German) may be enough.
What Does the CMS Plan Cost Today?
Webflow publishes the current price on its pricing page. The student page still describes a free annual plan, but it does not give a price in euros. The help page refers to the regular CMS Site rate for renewals. Before you decide, check the pricing page on the day you book.
How to Activate the Starter Plan
- Create a Webflow account with your email address, or log in with an existing account.
- Choose the free Starter plan for your site. You will find the name in the pricing overview.
- Test the site at its .webflow.io address before you fix content or design.
- Before publishing on your own domain, decide which paid plan you need and check its price on the pricing page.
What Happens After Your Studies?
The help page names no link between the Starter plan and student status. The plan therefore stays free after your studies, as long as Webflow does not change its terms. A student discount you have redeemed ends with its term. After that, the regular CMS rate applies if you keep the plan. If you want no further costs, cancel in time before the next billing date.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Webflow for Students still available?
According to the Webflow help center, no. Applications, renewals and code redemptions ended on 28 February 2026. The student page still describes the offer, but without an end date. If in doubt, ask Webflow support directly.
Is Webflow free for students?
According to the help page, the Starter plan is free. The free annual CMS offer only applied to applications made before the cut-off date. For all other plans, the price on the Webflow pricing page applies.
Does the offer apply in Germany?
The help page names no countries. Because Webflow says the program has been discontinued, there is no student offer for new applications in Germany or elsewhere. For discounts that are already running, the billing in your account decides.
Can I extend a discount with my university email?
The help page describes no automatic extension through a university email address. For a continuation it names the route via support, with proof of student status and a document showing your term dates. The page does not promise that the extension will be granted.
Do I need a CMS plan for my studies at all?
That depends on the project. For learning and drafts, the Starter plan is often enough. A CMS makes sense when content is maintained regularly within a fixed structure, such as blog posts or project pages. For texts, notes or simple presentations, you usually do not need one.
Are there AI-supported website builders for students?
If you want to build a website with AI support, the guide AI app builders for studies (in German) gives an overview. It covers tools that generate interfaces and code from prompts, and the points you should check when you use them.
What to Do Now
- Check your Webflow account to see whether a student offer is still shown there, and note what you find.
- If you have redeemed a discount, read the billing details and the next renewal date.
- Decide whether the Starter plan is enough for your project.
- If needed, compare the regular rate on the pricing page before you pay.
- Clear any open questions directly with Webflow support.
