Webflow vs JitBlox: what's the difference?

Is Webflow a good alternative to JitBlox? It all depends. They both provide a visual interface for building UIs, but each serves a different target audience.

Webflow is a CMS-based tool. CMS-based tools include a (headless) CMS for structured content/data, like a collection of products or blog posts. They include a visual page builder to build content-driven websites that complement their CMS.

JitBlox is a web app builder. Unlike CMS-based tools, web app builders focus on creating interactive and dynamic web apps that connect to existing (or mock) back-ends and require little to no development experience. Compared to a CMS-based tool, a web app builder is a lot more affordable simply because you are not stuck with a proprietary CMS platform for hosting your app.

Compare JitBlox with Webflow

Webflow is a no-code builder with over 6000 templates to kickstart your website design journey. It offers a powerful CMS, making it well suited for marketing teams and content agencies. In contrast to JitBlox, Webflow focuses on static web sites. You can also connect to dynamic data, but only through a feature called "Collection pages" that is closely coupled with Webflow's CMS. Self-hosting your Webflow website is possible, but only if you don't need a connection with the Webflow CMS.

If you're looking for an all-in-one, hosted combination of a CMS and a UI builder to build your website, Webflow might be a good choice. Webflow plans start at an attractive price of $14/mo, which allows you to host a static website without CMS. Plans that include a CMS plan start at $23/mo. If you don't need an integrated CMS and want to be able to build a modern web app that uses proven UI libraries and can be easily self-hosted, JitBlox is a much more affordable choice that is easy to learn.
