What you get with us.
Use your own AI account
Connect Claude or ChatGPT through MCP, or build visually without AI. Your provider controls availability and usage limits, so check its plan before relying on a particular model or workload. Unshift does not promise unlimited AI usage.
Take a project into development
Webflow offers static HTML, CSS and JavaScript export on paid Workspace plans, with exclusions for CMS, ecommerce, forms and other dynamic services. Unshift Pro exports a React + Vite project; connected services still need configuration and maintenance.
Start with AI, then refine visually
Both products offer AI-assisted site creation. With Unshift, connect a supported Claude or ChatGPT account through MCP, review the generated pages, then adjust text, images and layout visually. AI availability and limits depend on your provider.
Publish with hosting included
Unshift includes publishing on an unshift.dev address with HTTPS. Pro adds custom-domain connections; domain registration and DNS setup are separate steps. Keep content current through the visual editor and built-in CMS, then publish your changes.
Choose a workflow you can learn
Webflow has a visual design environment and AI site builder. Unshift combines templates, connected AI and drag and drop editing. Try the workflow with your actual content and collaborators before committing to a production site.
Webflow offers visual design, AI site creation, CMS and hosting, plus static code export on paid Workspace plans with dynamic-feature exclusions. Unshift offers templates, connected AI, visual editing and a built-in CMS, with React + Vite project export on Pro. Try both with your real content and check how hosting, integrations and future development would work for your site.
