Leiho vs Webflow (CMS)

SaaS visual website builder and host with a built-in CMS for collection-based content. Leiho takes another route: your content stays in WordPress, and editors click the real page of your own front end to change it.

LeihoWebflow (CMS)
Hosting Your own WordPress, on any PHP host. Your front end stays wherever it is. SaaS only (sites hosted by Webflow; content also available via the Data API).
Open source Yes, GPL-2.0-or-later (plugin and bridge). Proprietary.
Pricing Free. No seats, no usage limits. Free plan: yes (Starter site plan). Entry plan with CMS: Premium site plan, $25/month billed yearly or $39/month monthly (20,000 CMS items, 40 collections); Workspace seats billed separately.
Visual editing Yes: editors click text and images on the real front end, inside wp-admin, and it updates as they type. Yes, for Webflow-built sites: content and design are edited visually on the canvas; it does not edit a separate Next.js/Astro front end.
Content model Leiho Collections (schema builder or leiho.schema.json), or your existing ACF fields. UI (CMS Collections in the Designer).
AI Writing with your brand context on every text field, through WordPress’s own AI connectors (WordPress 7.0+). Webflow AI Assistant, AI site builder, and generation of sections, copy and CMS items (credit-based).

Localization Built in, field by field: one entry holds every language, fields are translatable or shared, and AI or agents (MCP) translate what is missing. Yes, via paid Localization add-on (from $9/month per locale).
SEO and AI search Built in: each collection maps its fields to schema.org, description and FAQ. Leiho serves JSON-LD, llms.txt and every page as Markdown, in every language. Built-in SEO and Open Graph settings per page and CMS template, and schema markup per page. llms.txt is a file you upload in Site settings, not generated. No Markdown version of pages.

Where Webflow (CMS) shines
  • Design, hosting and CMS in one tool with no code required.
  • Pixel-level visual design control for designers.
  • Managed hosting, SSL and CDN included.
Where Leiho differs
  • Your content stays in a WordPress you host, not in a vendor’s cloud.
  • Free and GPL for every site: no seats, plans or usage limits to watch.
  • Editors keep WordPress: their login, roles, media library and plugins.
  • Publishing follows your deployment, from a build hook to GitHub Actions or a self-hosted Coolify.

Choose Webflow (CMS) if…

Designers and marketing teams who want to build and host a site visually without a separate front-end codebase.

Choose Leiho if…

Your team or your clients already know WordPress, you want them to edit the real page of a Next.js, Astro, Nuxt or SvelteKit site, and you’d rather not pay per seat or move content to a vendor’s cloud.

Can I move from Webflow (CMS) to Leiho?

There is no automatic importer from Webflow (CMS). Leiho entries are WordPress posts, so content can be brought in with WordPress import tools or a script using Leiho’s PHP API. Your front-end components usually stay the same: only the data source and the annotations change.

Do I need WordPress?

Yes. Leiho is a WordPress plugin: WordPress stores the content and runs the back office. Any PHP host works, and your front end stays separate.
