Direct Answer
Webflow is better for service businesses that want a clean, fast site without plugin maintenance — most builds launch in 2 weeks and editing is visual. WordPress is better when you need a third-party plugin ecosystem (LearnDash, WooCommerce, Gravity Forms). For SEO and speed, both are equivalent if built well.

“Webflow is faster to launch and easier to maintain. WordPress is better when you need specific plugins like LearnDash or WooCommerce.”
Webflow's monthly cost ranges from $14 (Basic CMS) to $39 (Business). WordPress is free but requires hosting ($10 to $40 per month managed).
Webflow has no plugins to update; WordPress sites that go un-patched are the #1 source of small-business website hacks per Sucuri's 2023 hacked-website report.
