Stet vs Webflow

Side by side.

The same seven questions, asked of both. Checked against published documentation in July 2026.

Question	Stet	WWebflow
Who models the content	Stet Marketing, in the UI. Collections, maps and fields with no deploy.	Webflow Marketing, in the UI. CMS collections and fields are configured visually.
Types in your app	Stet A typed client generated from the live model by a Vite plugin.	Webflow None generated. The CMS API is untyped, so applications describe it themselves.
When the model changes	Stet A removed field becomes a deprecation in the types. The build stays green.	Webflow No deprecation path. A removed field breaks whatever was reading it.
Analytics	Stet Included. First-party and cookieless, through your own infrastructure.	Webflow Basic site analytics, with most teams adding a third-party script and a banner.
AI	Stet Included. Drafting, suggestions and delegated tasks, approving every write.	Webflow AI features inside the Designer, aimed at building pages rather than editing content.
Hosting and licence	Stet Hosted cloud or self-hosted. Open source.	Webflow Hosted only, and it hosts the site itself. Not open source.
How pricing works	Stet $10 per user per month. Free to self-host.	Webflow Site plans and workspace seats are billed separately, with CMS item and API request caps per tier.

What Webflow does better.

Nothing else lets a marketing team design, populate and publish a site without engineering at all. The visual editor and the hosting are the product, and both are excellent.

The fields from that collection, arriving in the editor as typed properties on the generated client.

When to pick Webflow instead.

Pick Webflow if the site itself should be designed and hosted in the same tool as the content, and no separate application is reading it. Stet deliberately does neither: rendering and hosting stay yours.
