Questions about alternatives to Webflow

What is the best open source alternative to Webflow?

By GitHub stars it is Webstudio, with 9,169 stars and a commit on 13 Nov. Choose Webstudio when you want a similar visual builder but own the code and hosting: you can export and self-host for free, and its Pro plan costs $20 a month. Next come Ycode (338 stars).

Is there a free alternative to Webflow?

Yes. The code of all 2 is public under AGPL 3.0 or MIT, so you can use them with no licence fee. Running one yourself costs the server and your time to look after it, and some makers also sell a hosted plan.

How do I choose between them?

Start from the job you use Webflow for. Choose Ycode when you want a Webflow-style builder with a CMS for less; it is free to self-host, and Cloud Basic costs $15 a month.

Which Webflow alternatives can I host on my own server?

All 2: Webstudio and Ycode. Each tool's page says what it needs to run.

Which ones are still being worked on?

All 2 we track had a commit in the last 30 days, among them Webstudio and Ycode. A recent commit shows the project is kept up, not that it will stay that way.

What licences do they use?

AGPL 3.0 (1), MIT (1). MIT, BSD and Apache let you change and reuse the code freely. GPL and AGPL ask you to share your changes under the same licence when you give the software to others, and AGPL also counts letting people use it over a network.

What do I lose by leaving Webflow?

The hosting. Webflow's maker runs the servers for you; with an open source tool the updates, backups, security fixes and support are yours, unless you take the maker's hosted plan. Features differ too, so check what each one imports and exports before you move your data.
