What Framer is built for
Framer describes a fully editable design canvas where you adjust type, components, breakpoints and effects, with hosting, CMS, analytics and SEO built in. Its features page also shows A/B testing, branching and AI agents that generate code for your site. [1]
This is a research review based on Framer’s own pages on the access date; we did not build a site to test it.
Plans and limits
Prices are the monthly figures on Framer’s pricing page, which says they are billed on the cycle chosen at checkout, that a complimentary domain is included with yearly billing, and that sales tax is added at checkout. For which plan to buy, see the Basic-or-Pro guide rather than this summary. [2]
| Free | Basic | Pro | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $0 | $10/mo | $30/mo |
| Domain | Free Framer domain | Your own domain | Your own domain |
| Pages | Not on plan card | 30 | 150, then $20 per 100 (700 max) |
| CMS collections | Not on plan card | 2 | 10, then $40 per 10 (40 max) |
| CMS items | Not on plan card | 1,000 | 2,500, then $20 per 10,000 (40,000 max) |
| Bandwidth | 1 GB | 50 GB | 100 GB, then $40 per 100 GB (2 TB max) |
| CDN locations | Not on plan card | 20 | 300+ |
| Analytics history | Not on plan card | 30 days | 90 days |
| Staging, redirects | Not on plan card | Not on plan card | Listed on Pro card |
Seats, localization and add-ons
The workspace owner and viewers are free. Additional editors who design, edit and publish cost $20 each per month; content editors who update the CMS, localization and on-page text cost $10 each. [2]
Localization is an add-on at $20 per locale, up to 20 locales. Convert (A/B tests, funnels, triggers) is $50 per 500,000 events, and Advanced Hosting is a $200 add-on. [2]
For a two-person team with one designer and one content editor, a Pro site with two extra locales costs $30 + $10 + $40 = $80 a month on list prices, before tax.
Strengths
- Design control: a canvas with breakpoints and components rather than fixed templates. [1]
- Hosting, CMS, analytics and SEO in one bill. [1]
- Cheap content editors at $10 for clients who only edit text and CMS. [2]
- Growth path inside Pro: pay for extra pages, collections and bandwidth instead of jumping to enterprise. [2]
Documented limits
- No HTML export: Framer’s help center says it does not offer HTML export for self-hosting and may not be right if you need full control of hosting or source code. [3]
- No store listed: the pricing and features pages we read do not describe a native cart or checkout, so selling needs an external tool.
- Basic is tight for content sites: 2 CMS collections and no staging or redirects on its plan card. [2]
- Costs scale with people and languages: every extra editor and locale is a monthly line item. [2]
- Help-center plan descriptions can lag the pricing page; Framer’s plan use-case article frames Basic for individuals and small teams and Pro for growing teams. Check the pricing page before buying. [4]
