Can I work as a guest on a client's Webflow workspace with my Freelancer plan in order to embed code, or does the client need to upgrade their workspace for me to do that?
TL;DR
- You can join a client's Webflow workspace as a guest using your Freelancer plan and embed code if granted proper access.
- To publish custom code, the client must have a paid Site plan for the project, regardless of their Workspace plan.
You can work on a client’s Webflow workspace as a guest with your Freelancer plan, but whether you can embed code depends on the client’s site plan or workspace plan, not yours.
1. Guest Access With Your Freelancer Plan
- Your Freelancer plan allows you to be invited as a guest on other workspaces through Freelancer or Agency Workspace roles.
- You can design, edit, and embed code in projects where you are granted Editor or Designer access, depending on permissions.
2. Client's Plan Requirements for Embedding Code
- Embedding custom code (in Page Settings, Site Settings, or using the Embed element) requires the project to have a paid Site plan, like Basic, CMS, or Business.
- If the project has no Site plan or is on the Starter plan, Webflow disables some custom code features (e.g., code in
<head>,<body>, or site-wide). - The Workspace plan (Starter, Core, Growth, etc.) affects team collaboration features, not the ability to publish embedded code.
3. Scenarios to Consider
- If you're embedding code in the Embed element (dragged into a Webflow page), it will appear in Designer even without a Site plan but won’t fully function or render on published pages unless a Site plan is active.
- If you're inserting code in Page or Site settings (for analytics, custom scripts, etc.), a Site plan is required to publish those scripts live.
Summary
Yes, you can join your client's Webflow workspace as a guest with your Freelancer plan. However, to embed and publish custom code, the client needs an active paid Site plan for the project. Their Workspace plan does not need to be upgraded for code embedding.
