Which One Is Right for You?
Choose Webscension if:
Any MVP that's an application: SaaS, marketplaces, platforms, tools with user accounts and custom features.
Choose Webflow if:
Marketing websites, portfolios, blogs, and simple membership sites.
Our Verdict
Webflow excels at marketing websites and simple content sites. But it's not built for applications—no real database, limited auth, no custom logic. If your MVP needs user accounts, dashboards, or custom features, you need custom development. Use Webflow for your marketing site, Webscension for your product.
