What templates cost

The Framer Marketplace templates page we fetched showed 24 templates, 16 free and 8 paid. Paid prices on that view were $29, $49, $69, $79, $99, $99, $129 and $149. That is a snapshot of one sorted view, not the full catalog, but it gives a realistic range. [1]

Free templates open with Use for Free and are added to your account. Paid templates use Buy for, with checkout on the creator’s website, followed by a remix link by email that copies the project into your workspace. [2]

Licensing and refunds are set by each creator

Framer says it does not process template payments or manage refunds; purchases are handled by the creator. Its help article does not set license terms for single-site, multi-site or client use. [2]

Refund policies vary by creator. Some refund for serious bugs, and others decline refunds once a product has been downloaded or remixed. Contact the creator first, follow up after about a week, then contact Framer support with proof you tried. [3]

Two listings show the range. The free Consulting template states Use on unlimited websites and is pitched for client projects. The $149 Soren listing says the creator is unable to offer refunds once a purchase is made, and its usage text does not spell out client or multi-site terms. [7] [6]

  • Look for explicit wording on client work and number of sites.
  • Find the refund line before checkout, not after remixing.
  • Save the receipt and the listing text with the purchase date.

The plan you still need

A template is a starting project, not hosting. Framer requires a paid plan to connect a custom domain. Basic showed $10 per month and Pro $30 per month with yearly billing selected; annual plans are billed upfront for the full year. [5] [8]

Check the template against plan limits. Basic lists 30 pages and 2 CMS collections; Pro lists 150 pages and 10 collections. A template built with four CMS collections will not fit Basic without changes. [5]

Year-one cost examples

How to evaluate a template before paying

Framer’s template best practices for creators make a useful buyer checklist. They ask for layouts that adapt across mobile, tablet and desktop breakpoints, repeatable content in the CMS, shared text and color styles, a custom 404 page, a title and description for each page, original or properly licensed assets, and clear statements of setup requirements, refund terms and support. Framer notes templates can be published without manual review, so check these yourself. [4]

  • Open the live preview on a phone and resize a desktop window through tablet width.
  • Count CMS collections and pages against your plan limit.
  • Check whether fonts are Framer fonts or need a separate license.
  • Confirm the listing states client or multi-site use if you build for clients.
  • Confirm a 404 page and page titles exist in the remixed project.
  • Look for the refund and support lines on the listing.

When buying makes sense

Buy when the template matches your page structure and CMS needs closely and the price is less than the hours it saves you. Skip paid templates when a free one covers the same layout, when the license does not cover your use, or when the CMS structure would force you onto a higher plan you do not otherwise need.

Questions before you decide

Does Framer refund template purchases?

No. Framer says it does not process Marketplace payments or issue refunds. The creator’s policy applies, and Framer can help only if the creator does not respond.

Can I use a Framer template for client sites?

It depends on the listing. Framer’s help article does not set license terms; some listings, such as the free Consulting template, state use on unlimited websites, while others do not address client use.

Do I still need a Framer plan after buying a template?

Yes, for a custom domain. Framer’s pricing FAQ says connecting a custom domain requires a paid plan.
