Meno vs Webflow
Both let you build websites visually. The difference is what happens to your data, your team's workflow, and your bill.
Side by side
A feature-by-feature comparison of the two platforms.
What Webflow charges $100K+/year for, Meno includes for free
Most companies buy Webflow Enterprise because they're forced to — IT mandates SSO, the CMS hits its item cap, or procurement needs compliance paperwork. Meno's architecture solves these by design, not by upsell.
SSO & Access Control
Meno authenticates through GitHub OAuth. If your org uses GitHub Enterprise with SAML, your team gets SSO automatically. Webflow gates SSO behind their Enterprise plan at $100K+/year.
Unlimited CMS
Meno's CMS is file-based JSON stored in Git. There are no item limits — ever. Webflow caps CMS items at 20,000 on Business and charges Enterprise pricing to go higher.
Compliance by Design
Your data lives in your GitHub repos, never on Meno servers. SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA — compliance is dramatically simpler when there's no third-party cloud storing your content.
Full Audit Trail
Every change is a Git commit with author, timestamp, and diff. No Enterprise upgrade needed for audit logs — Git is your audit trail. Webflow limits this to Enterprise.
Where Meno shines
Git-native workflow
Every page, component, and CMS entry is a JSON file in a Git repository. Branch for experiments, merge when ready, rollback if something breaks. Review visual changes with standard Git diffs.
Branch, merge, and diff — real version control, not backups
Every change tracked with author and timestamp
Works with GitHub, GitLab, or any Git provider
AI-first architecture
Meno's JSON format is designed to be read and written by AI. The built-in Claude assistant understands your entire project — pages, components, styles, and CMS content — and can generate or modify any of it.

Where Webflow is stronger
We believe in honest comparisons. Here's where Webflow has the edge today.
Larger ecosystem
Webflow has a mature marketplace with thousands of templates, integrations, and a large community of designers and developers.
E-commerce
Webflow has built-in e-commerce features — product pages, carts, checkout. Meno is focused on content sites and marketing pages.
Browser-based
Webflow runs entirely in the browser — no install needed. Meno is a desktop app, which means more power but requires a download.
More templates
Webflow's template marketplace has hundreds of ready-made designs. Meno's template library is growing but currently smaller.
