Framer Plans & Pricing
Framer's pricing starts with a genuinely functional free plan and offers paid plans from $5/month (Mini) to $30/month (Pro). The free plan covers building and publishing to a Framer subdomain — enough to build a real site and evaluate the platform fully. Custom domain connection, which most businesses require, starts at $5/month on Mini. Basic at $15/month adds additional CMS items and page count. Pro at $30/month removes all limits for growing sites. Annual billing saves around 25% on all plans.

Is Framer Worth the Price?
The value of Framer relative to alternatives comes down to design quality per dollar. A comparable agency-built marketing site would cost $5,000–20,000+. A Webflow Developer freelancer costs $50–100/hour. Framer at $15–30/month delivers design quality that most alternatives at the same price point can't match, particularly for motion and animation — which in competitive SaaS and agency markets is a meaningful brand differentiator. For product-led companies where website quality reflects product quality in buyers' minds, Framer's design ceiling is among the highest available without custom development.
Free plan covers unlimited site building, AI generation, and publishing to a Framer subdomain with up to 1 CMS collection. Mini at $5/month adds custom domain connection, 1,000 CMS items, and 3 CMS collections. Basic at $15/month increases to 10,000 CMS items, 10 CMS collections, 200 pages, and adds password protection for staging environments. Pro at $30/month removes page and CMS limits, adds advanced analytics, priority support, and is appropriate for large sites with many pages or high content volumes. All plans include Framer hosting, SSL, global CDN, and SEO tools.
Framer Free Trial — What's Included?
Framer's free plan is the trial — no time limit, no feature restriction on design and building, and publishing to a Framer subdomain included at no cost. This means you can build your complete site and validate every design and functionality aspect before paying anything. The trigger for upgrading is when you need a custom domain (Mini at $5/month) or need CMS features beyond the free plan's limits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Framer has a free plan. Paid plans: Mini at $5/month, Basic at $15/month, Pro at $30/month. Annual billing saves approximately 25% on all paid plans. All plans include Framer hosting and SSL — no separate hosting cost.
Yes. Annual billing saves approximately 25% on all Framer paid plans. Basic annual works out to approximately $11/month versus $15/month monthly. For established sites where you're committed to Framer long-term, annual billing is cost-effective.
The Mini plan at $5/month is the minimum required to connect a custom domain. For most individuals and small businesses needing a basic website with a custom domain and limited blog content, Mini at $5/month is sufficient. Upgrade to Basic when you need more CMS items, more pages, or more CMS collections.
Yes — Framer's free plan has no time limit. You can build and publish on a Framer subdomain indefinitely at no cost. The free plan's features may evolve over time (check framer.com for current free plan details), but Framer has maintained a meaningful free tier since launch as a core part of its product strategy.
Yes — many agencies use Framer to build client marketing sites and landing pages. The quality of Framer-built sites is competitive with custom development for marketing use cases, at a fraction of the development time and cost. For agencies billing by the hour or project, Framer's speed of design and publishing compresses delivery timelines. The main limitation for agency use is Framer's CMS (less suited to complex content relationships) and lack of native e-commerce — for clients needing those capabilities, Webflow or custom development may be more appropriate.
Framer does not have native e-commerce functionality — no product catalog, cart, or checkout system. For e-commerce sites, Framer is best used for the marketing and brand site portion (homepage, about, blog) while integrating a dedicated e-commerce platform (Shopify, WooCommerce) for product and purchasing functionality. Shopify's Buy Button can be embedded in Framer pages for simple product sales. Full e-commerce sites are better served by dedicated platforms.
Framer sites are hosted on a global CDN designed for high traffic. There's no explicit visitor limit on paid plans — Framer's infrastructure scales to handle traffic spikes. For sites with very high sustained traffic (millions of monthly visitors), enterprise plan options or custom hosting arrangements may be appropriate. For the vast majority of business websites, Framer's hosting infrastructure handles typical and peak traffic without issue.
Framer does not offer full site code export for standard use. This is intentional — Framer sites are designed to run on Framer's hosting infrastructure with Framer-specific features (animations, CMS, optimization). Some limited code export options exist for components, but a complete site export for self-hosting on a different server isn't a standard feature. If code ownership and portability are critical requirements, Framer's platform dependency is an important consideration.
Framer is one of the best platforms for SaaS landing pages and marketing sites. The design quality, animation capabilities, and fast performance make Framer-built SaaS sites competitive with agency-built alternatives. The CMS handles blog content and case studies. SEO controls cover all technical requirements. Many successful SaaS companies use Framer for their marketing sites — it's become a popular choice in the startup ecosystem specifically because of the quality ceiling and reasonable pricing.
