Framer is one of the nicest tools around for designing a website. If your site is on it already, or someone has suggested it, you’ve probably seen the headline price and thought it looked cheap. For a lot of sites it is.
The plan price is only part of the bill, though. Editors, languages, page and content limits, and one feature that matters a great deal when you move from an old site all sit outside the number on the card. This guide walks you through what each plan costs and includes, the costs people tend to miss, a worked example for a typical service business, and how to tell when Framer has stopped being the right home for your site.
All prices below are in US dollars, as Framer publishes them on its pricing page, and they’re correct as of October 2026. Framer changed its plans in October 2025 and may change them again, so check that page before you decide anything.
What each Framer plan costs and includes
Framer sells a plan per site. There’s a Free plan, two paid plans called Basic and Pro, and Enterprise for large organisations. The prices Framer shows are monthly figures on yearly billing, so Basic works out to US$120 a year and Pro to US$360 a year, plus any sales tax for where you are.
| Free | Basic | Pro | Enterprise | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price (billed yearly) | US$0 | US$10 a month | US$30 a month | Custom |
| Your own domain | No, a Framer domain | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Site pages | 1,000 | 30, fixed | 150, then US$20 per 100 (700 max) | Custom |
| CMS collections | 10 | 2, fixed | 10, then US$40 per 10 (40 max) | Custom |
| CMS items | Not listed | 1,000, fixed | 2,500, then US$20 per 10,000 (40,000 max) | Custom |
| Bandwidth each month | 1 GB | 50 GB | 100 GB, then US$40 per 100 GB (2 TB max) | Custom |
| Site redirects | Not listed | Not included | Included | Included |
| Staging and branching | Not listed | Not included | Included | Included |
| Analytics history | Not listed | 30 days | 90 days | Unlimited |
| Editor seats | Up to three editors | 10 | 10 | Unlimited |
The Free plan is meant for trying Framer out and for non-commercial use. It publishes to a Framer address with a “Made in Framer” banner, and you need a paid plan to connect your own domain. If you pay yearly, both paid plans include a complimentary domain.
Basic is pitched at personal sites, students, freelancers and small studios. Pro is the plan Framer describes for businesses that run their marketing site on it, and it’s the only paid plan that can grow past its limits with add-ons. On Basic the limits are fixed, so when you reach one, the answer is to move up to Pro.
Every paid plan also comes with monthly AI credits (1,000 on Basic and 3,000 on Pro) for Framer’s AI agents and AI translation. Most service-business sites won’t think about these much.
The costs and limits people forget
Monthly billing costs more than the headline. The US$10 and US$30 figures are for yearly billing. Framer’s help centre says monthly billing typically costs more than the equivalent of an annual plan, and switching from annual back to monthly has to go through their support team, with any unused value kept as account credit rather than refunded.
Every extra person who edits is a paid seat. The workspace owner is free. After that, Framer lists additional editors, who can design, edit and publish, at US$20 a month each, and content editors, who can update the CMS and translations and edit text on the page, at US$10 a month each. Viewers who only comment are free. Editor seats are billed monthly even if your plan is yearly, and the rate depends on the highest plan in your workspace and your billing cycle, so check what Framer shows you before you invite anyone.
Basic doesn’t include redirects. This is the one that catches people out most. If you’re moving an existing site to Framer, you need redirects so the addresses Google already knows lead to your new pages. On Basic you don’t get them, so a move from an older site really needs Pro. Framer’s own help article calls redirects essential when migrating, and that’s right. We’ve written more about why in how to redesign without losing your Google rankings.
Two CMS collections fill up quickly. A collection is one type of content, such as blog posts, team members, case studies or services. A service business with a blog and a team page has already used both of the collections Basic allows.
Every extra language is an add-on. Translation locales are US$20 a month each on Basic and Pro, up to 20. If you serve clients in English and one other language, that’s another US$240 a year. Locales and editors added after October 2025 are charged at current prices even if your plan dates from before then.
Bandwidth overages come with a warning first. If you go over your monthly bandwidth, Framer lets you exceed it for one month and emails you so you can upgrade. A typical service-business site is unlikely to get near 50 GB, but video-heavy pages use it much faster.
Testing tools are add-ons too. A/B testing and funnels come with the Convert add-on, listed at US$50 per 500,000 events. Advanced hosting, for things like running several sites under one domain, is listed at US$200.
A worked example for a 12-page service business
Say you run an accounting practice or a physio clinic and want 12 pages: a homepage, six service pages, about, team, contact and a blog with two or three posts a month. You’re moving from an older site that has been on Google for years, and one person on your team will update the blog.
On Basic, the pages fit easily within 30, but the old site needs redirects and Basic doesn’t have them. So the realistic choice is Pro.
| Item | Yearly cost, at listed prices |
|---|---|
| Pro plan, billed yearly | US$360 |
| One content editor for the blog, at US$10 a month | US$120 |
| Total for one language | US$480 |
| A second language, if you need one, at US$20 a month | Another US$240 |
That’s still very reasonable for hosting and a good editor. If the person updating the site needs to change layouts as well as words, they need a full editor seat at US$20 a month, and the total becomes US$600.
What the table leaves out is the work. A Framer plan gives you a tool and hosting, but it doesn’t design your site, write the words for your service pages, plan the pages around what your clients search for or set up the redirects. Either you do that yourself, or you pay a designer, and that cost is usually much bigger than the subscription. When you compare options, compare the full cost over two or three years, not the plan price on its own.
When Framer is a good fit
Framer is genuinely good at what it was built for. Designers love it because it works the way design tools work, the animations are smooth, and published sites are hosted on a fast global network without you having to think about servers.
It’s a good fit if you or someone on your team enjoys design and wants control over every detail. It suits portfolios, landing pages and launch sites, and small marketing sites where one or two people make all the changes. If you’re comfortable in the editor and your site is mostly a handful of well-designed pages, Framer is a sensible choice and the price is fair.
When Framer stops making sense for a business site
Framer gets harder to justify when your site’s job changes from looking great to bringing in work, and the people looking after it change from designers to a busy team.
Your site is becoming content-heavy. If you plan to publish regularly, add case studies, a resource library or a page for each location you serve, you’ll be working against collection and item limits. On Pro you can buy more, but you’ll be paying per block of content as you grow.
Search is how new clients find you. Framer covers the SEO basics well, including page titles, sitemaps and redirects on Pro. What decides whether you rank is the content and structure: a page for each service, written the way your clients search, linked sensibly and kept up to date. The tool doesn’t do that work for you, and if nobody on your team has the time, the site won’t rank however well it’s built.
You want to hand the edits to someone else. Each person who edits needs a paid seat, and roles and permissions are only on Pro and above. More to the point, a design tool gives everyone the power to move things around. For a business owner who just wants a price changed or a new team member added, that can be more tool than you want to manage.
Nobody owns the site any more. This is the most common reason we see sites leave Framer. The freelancer who built it has moved on, nobody else knows the editor, and the site slowly goes out of date.
The alternatives to Framer
Webflow is the closest alternative and the one most people compare in a Webflow vs Framer search. It’s also a visual builder with hosting included, and it suits teams who want to work closely with how a site is structured. Moving from Framer to Webflow means rebuilding the design in Webflow, so it makes the most sense if you need what Webflow does better, not just a change of tool.
WordPress is free software, but you pay for hosting, usually for a theme and plugins, and for someone to keep it updated and secure. It can handle almost any amount of content, and in return it needs regular maintenance.
A custom site you don’t have to manage is the other path. Someone designs and builds the site for you, writes the copy, hosts it and makes your changes, so you never touch an editor. It costs more up front than a builder plan, and it suits owners who would rather spend their time on clients than on their website. Our Squarespace, Wix or custom website guide goes through that trade-off in more detail.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Framer cost per year?
As of October 2026, Basic is US$10 a month and Pro is US$30 a month on yearly billing, which comes to US$120 and US$360 a year before tax. Extra editors, extra languages and Pro add-ons are charged on top, and monthly billing costs more.
Is Framer’s Basic plan enough for a business website?
It can be for a small, new site with fewer than 30 pages and no more than two types of CMS content. If you’re replacing an existing site, Basic doesn’t include redirects, so you’ll want Pro to protect the rankings your old site has earned.
Does Framer charge for each editor?
Yes. The workspace owner is free, and viewers who only leave comments are free. Framer lists additional editors at US$20 a month and content editors at US$10 a month, billed monthly even on a yearly plan.
What happens if my site goes over a Framer limit?
For some limits, Framer asks you to upgrade your plan. For bandwidth, it lets you go over for one month and emails you so you can upgrade. On Pro, you can buy more pages, CMS collections, CMS items and bandwidth as add-ons, up to the maximums on the pricing page.
Has Framer’s pricing changed?
Yes. Framer introduced new plans on 9 October 2025. If you subscribed before then and haven’t changed plans, you keep your old price and limits, but editors and locales added since are charged at current prices, and once you switch to a current plan you can’t go back.
Can I move my site from Framer to another platform?
Yes. Plan for a rebuild of the design on the new platform, then move your content and set up redirects from every old address to its new page, so your search rankings come with you.
