Where each one falls short

Webflow

  • Does not support user authentication or password management; feature removed January 2026
  • Does not automate workflows natively; feature removed June 2025
  • CMS rendering constraints limit scalability: 40 Collection lists per page, 100 items per list, 20,000 items total
  • E-commerce capabilities are limited compared to dedicated platforms
  • Hosting lock-in prevents exporting sites to other platforms; no full server-level access for advanced SEO customizations
