What Webflow discounts still exist (students, educators, NPO, startups) and which are deprecated?

Webflow has offered several discount programs over the years to support students, educators, nonprofits, and startups. Some of these programs are still active, while others have been deprecated (discontinued for new applicants). Here's the current status of each discount program and how to access the ones that are still available.

‍

1. Current Webflow discount programs (still active)

As of February 2026, the following discount programs are still accepting new applications:

‍

Webflow for Nonprofits (NPO discount)

• Who it's for: registered nonprofit organizations, charities, and NGOs with valid 501(c)(3) status (US) or equivalent in other countries.
• Discount: up to 50% off Workspace and Site plans.
• Duration: ongoing discount as long as your nonprofit status remains valid.
• How to apply:
  1. Go to the Webflow nonprofit discount page.
  2. Fill out the application form with your organization details and proof of nonprofit status (e.g. tax-exempt determination letter, charity registration number).
  3. Wait for Webflow to review and approve (typically 1–2 weeks).
  4. Once approved, the discount is applied to your Workspace billing automatically.

Note: the discount applies to new subscriptions and renewals, but may have limits on the number of sites or Workspace seats covered.

‍

Webflow for Startups discount

• Who it's for: early-stage startups that are part of a recognized startup accelerator or incubator (e.g. Y Combinator, Techstars, 500 Startups, etc.).
• Discount: typically 1 year of free Workspace and Site plans (up to a certain tier, e.g. CMS Site plan + Core Workspace).
• Duration: 12 months from approval, non-renewable.
• How to apply:
  1. Go to the Webflow for startups page).
  2. Submit proof of acceptance into a partner accelerator or incubator.
  3. Wait for approval from Webflow.
  4. Once approved, you'll receive a promo code or automatic credit to cover your first year.

Note: not all accelerators are eligible—Webflow maintains a list of partner programs. If your accelerator isn't on the list, you may not qualify.

‍

2. Deprecated Webflow discount programs (no longer available)

The following programs have been discontinued and are no longer accepting new applicants:

‍

Webflow for Students discount (deprecated)

• Status: Deprecated. New applications and renewals won’t be accepted after February 28, 2026.
• Who it was for: students enrolled in accredited universities or colleges.
• What it offered: free or heavily discounted Workspace and Site plans during enrollment.
• Why it was deprecated: Webflow shifted its educational focus to the Webflow for Educators program and partnerships with universities, rather than individual student accounts.

If you already have the student discount:

• Existing students who were approved before the deprecation may still have access until their current discount period expires or their enrollment ends.
• Once the discount expires, you'll need to switch to a paid plan or apply for a different discount (e.g. nonprofit, if applicable).
• Contact Webflow Support to check the status of your existing student discount.

Alternatives for students:

• Use the free Starter plan to learn Webflow (limited features, no custom domain).
• Ask your university or professor to apply for the Webflow for Educators program, which may give you access to paid features through your school.
• Look for startup discounts if you're working on a student project that's part of an incubator.

‍

Webflow for Educators discount (deprecated or restructured)

• Status: Deprecated for individual educators (from February 28).
• Who it was for: teachers, professors, and instructors teaching web design or development courses.
• What it offered: free Workspace and Site plans for use in the classroom, plus access to educational resources.
• Why it was deprecated: Webflow consolidated its educational offerings into Webflow University and institutional partnerships, rather than individual educator accounts.

If you're an educator:

• Institutional partnerships – if your school has a partnership with Webflow, you may still get access to free or discounted plans for your classroom. Contact Webflow or check with your school's IT/design department.
• Webflow University – free learning resources available to everyone at university.webflow.com.
• Nonprofit discount – if your educational institution is a registered nonprofit, you may qualify for the nonprofit discount instead.

‍

3. Other occasional or regional discounts

Webflow occasionally offers limited-time promotions that aren't part of formal programs:

‍

Black Friday / Cyber Monday sales

• Webflow sometimes offers percentage discounts (e.g. 20%–30% off annual plans) during major shopping holidays.
• These are typically announced via email and social media and apply to new annual subscriptions.

‍

Product launch promotions

• When Webflow launches a major new feature or product (e.g. Webflow Apps, Localization), they may offer early adopter discounts or free trial periods.

‍

Referral credits

• Webflow had a referral program in the past (refer a friend, get credit). Status unknown as of 2026—check the Webflow dashboard or community forum for current referral offers.

‍

Partner / agency network discounts

• Some Webflow Certified Partners or Enterprise customers may have access to special pricing or bulk discounts not available to the general public.

‍

4. How annual billing works as a "discount"

Even without a special program, you can save money by choosing annual billing instead of monthly:

• Annual discount: typically 15%–20% off the total compared to paying month-by-month.
• Applies to: all Workspace plans and Site plans.
• How it works: you pay upfront for 12 months and receive 2–3 months free (depending on the plan).

Example:

• CMS Site plan: $29/month × 12 = $348/year at monthly rate.
• Annual price: $276/year → saves you $72/year (~20% off).

To switch to annual billing:

1. Go to Workspace settings → Billing.
2. Click Switch to annual billing next to your plan.
3. Webflow prorates your current cycle and charges you the annual amount minus any unused monthly credit.

‍

‍

5. How to check if you have an active discount

If you're not sure whether you have a discount applied:

1. Go to Workspace settings → Billing.
2. Look at your Workspace plan and Site plan pricing.
3. If a discount is active, you'll usually see:
   • A note like "Nonprofit discount applied – 50% off" or "Startup promo active".
   • A reduced price compared to standard pricing on the Webflow pricing page.
4. Check your invoices in All invoices for any discount line items.

If you applied for a discount but don't see it reflected in your billing, contact Webflow Support with your application confirmation or approval email.

‍

6. Can you combine discounts?

Generally, no—you can only have one active discount program at a time.

Examples of conflicts:

• You can't stack the nonprofit discount with the startup discount.
• You can't apply a promo code on top of the nonprofit discount.

However, you CAN combine:

• A discount program (nonprofit, startup) with annual billing (so you get the discount + the annual savings).
• A discount program with the grace period discount (one-time credit for resolving a failed payment).

If you're eligible for multiple programs, choose the one that gives you the best long-term savings.

‍

7. What to do if your discount expires or you no longer qualify

Nonprofit discount:

• If your organization loses nonprofit status, Webflow may revoke the discount on your next renewal.
• You'll receive an email notification and need to switch to standard pricing or apply for a different discount if eligible.

Startup discount:

• The startup discount typically lasts 12 months, then you pay standard rates.
• Webflow will notify you before the discount expires so you can budget for the transition.

Student / educator discount (deprecated):

• If you still have an active student/educator discount from before deprecation, it will expire at the end of your current eligibility period (e.g. graduation, end of semester).
• You'll need to switch to a paid plan or use the free Starter plan.

If you lose your discount and can't afford standard pricing:

• Consider downgrading to a lower Workspace or Site plan tier.
• Use the free Starter plan for staging/learning and only pay for Site plans on client sites.
• Look for alternative funding (pass hosting costs to clients via Client Payments, raise project budgets, etc.).

‍

8. How to apply for a discount if you're eligible

If you believe you qualify for a discount that's still active:

1. Visit the relevant Webflow discount page:
   • Nonprofits
   • Startups
2. Fill out the application form with proof of eligibility (tax documents, acceptance letters, etc.).
3. Wait for Webflow to review (typically 1–2 weeks).
4. Once approved, the discount is applied to your Workspace automatically or you'll receive a promo code.
