Here's every limit, hidden cost, and who should pick what." canonical_url: "https://framerhub.io/blog/framer-pricing-explained" last_updated: "2026-12-08T00:00:00.000Z" --- "Framer pricing" search results are a mess of screenshots from a year ago. Framer changes its plans often enough that half of what you'll find is already wrong — old tier names, old limits, old dollar amounts. We build plugins that sit on top of Framer and get asked "which plan do I actually need" constantly, so here's the current breakdown, verified against Framer's own pricing page, not copied from an old blog post. As of writing, Framer runs four tiers: **Free, Basic, Pro, and Enterprise.** No "Mini" plan, no "Business" plan — if you've seen those names in an older guide (including earlier drafts of this one), they're stale. Plan names and limits shift often enough that you should re-check [framer.com/pricing](https://www.framer.com/pricing) yourself before finalizing a client quote, but here's what's true right now. ## Framer Pricing at a Glance
Plan Price Pages CMS Collections Bandwidth Custom Domain Editors
Free $0 1,000 10 1 GB Not included Up to 3
Basic $10/mo 30 2 50 GB Included Limited (extra seats billed)
Pro $30/mo 150 10 100 GB Included Higher / unlimited seat count
Enterprise Custom Custom Custom Custom Included Unlimited
A few things jump out once you actually read the table instead of the marketing copy. Free has a *higher* page allowance than Basic (1,000 vs. 30) — because Free's real limiter isn't pages, it's the missing custom domain and 1 GB bandwidth cap. And the jump from Basic to Pro isn't just "more pages" — it's 5x the CMS collections and 2x the bandwidth, which matters more than the page count for most real sites. ## Free: Fine for Prototypes, Not for Clients Framer's Free plan gives you the full design editor, up to 10 CMS collections, and a generous page count — genuinely useful for mocking up a site, testing a layout, or building an internal draft. The dealbreaker is what it doesn't include: no custom domain, and a 1 GB bandwidth ceiling that a real site with images and video will blow through fast. **Who it's for:** learning Framer, client mockups you'll show before they've paid, personal experiments. Not for anything you're putting a domain on. ## Basic ($10/month): Cheaper Than It Looks Once You Hit the Ceiling Basic gets you a real custom domain and 50 GB of bandwidth — enough for a lean marketing site with a handful of images. Where it bites: **30 pages** and **2 CMS collections**. That sounds like plenty until you remember every CMS-generated item (blog post, portfolio piece, product) counts as a page. A blog with 40 posts alone blows past the page cap before you've added a single marketing page. **Who it's for:** a single-page site, a portfolio with a small, fixed number of pages, a landing page with no blog. If there's a CMS collection with any real growth plan behind it, Basic runs out of room faster than the price tag suggests. ## Pro ($30/month): The One Most Client Sites Actually Need Pro is where most agency and freelance client work lands: 150 pages, 10 CMS collections, and 100 GB of bandwidth. If you're building a blog, a multi-collection directory, or any site where the client will keep adding content after launch, price Pro into the proposal from day one rather than discovering the Basic ceiling three months post-launch. **Who it's for:** blogs, portfolios with a growing case-study collection, small business sites with more than a couple of pages, anything with an active CMS. ## Enterprise: Custom Limits, Custom Price Enterprise removes the fixed caps — custom page counts, custom bandwidth, unlimited editor seats — and adds things smaller plans don't get, like dedicated support and enterprise-grade security review. Framer doesn't publish Enterprise pricing; it's a sales conversation. This tier only makes sense once you're managing a large multi-site workspace or a site with traffic and compliance needs that outgrow Pro. **Who it's for:** larger companies, agencies managing many high-traffic sites under one workspace, anyone Pro's limits are actively blocking. ## What Happens When Framer Changes Its Pricing Framer has restructured its plans more than once, and it will again. When that happens, two things typically hold true: existing sites keep running on their current plan terms for a grace period rather than being force-migrated overnight, and new sign-ups see the new structure immediately. That's exactly why this article states its numbers as "current as of writing" instead of treating them as permanent — a guide that doesn't do that is the reason so many outdated Framer pricing posts are still floating around ranking for these keywords. Practically, this means two habits are worth building into how you scope projects: re-verify the plan and price with the client at contract time (not from memory of what Framer charged six months ago), and note the verification date in your own proposal template so a stale number doesn't quietly become "the price" a client expects to see reflected on their invoice a year later. ## The Hidden Costs Nobody Mentions in the Plan Comparison The sticker price on each tier isn't the full cost of running a Framer site. Budget for these before you quote a client: - **Extra editor seats.** Framer bills additional editors per seat, per month, on top of your plan price. If more than one person touches the site — a designer, a copywriter, a client who wants edit access — that's a recurring line item most freelancers forget to quote. - **Content editor seats.** Framer has introduced a cheaper, CMS-only editor role for people who just need to update blog posts or products without full design access — worth using instead of a full editor seat if that's all a client needs. - **Overage on pages or CMS items.** Growing past your plan's page or collection limit usually forces an upgrade mid-project, not a graceful overage fee. Scope for growth, not launch-day numbers. - **Apps, AI credits, and add-ons.** Framer bundles usage credits (AI generation, certain apps) into each plan with a monthly cap. Heavy AI-feature use can mean hitting that cap before the billing cycle resets. - **Domain registration itself.** The plan gives you the *ability* to connect a custom domain — you still buy the domain separately, typically $10–20/year depending on the TLD. See our breakdown of the [full cost of a Framer website](/blog/how-much-framer-website-costs) for the complete line-item list. - **Annual vs. monthly billing.** Every paid plan is meaningfully cheaper billed annually than month-to-month. If a client project is going to run more than a few months, annual billing is the default, not the exception. ## Who Should Pick What - **Solo portfolio, no blog:** Basic, as long as your final page count comfortably fits under 30. - **Freelancer building client sites regularly:** Pro, on every project with a CMS. The extra $20/month is cheaper than the awkward mid-project upgrade conversation. - **Agency managing several client sites:** Pro per project as the default, Enterprise only once you're consolidating many high-traffic sites under one workspace. - **Anyone hitting a plan ceiling for a feature, not a limit:** don't upgrade the plan — check whether a plugin solves it instead. Multi-field CMS filtering, advanced form validation, and a bigger component library are capability gaps, not limit gaps, and upgrading Framer's plan doesn't add them. Our [plugins](/plugins) extend exactly this kind of gap without a higher subscription tier. ## Monthly vs. Annual: The Real Math Framer, like most SaaS tools, prices monthly billing as the "list price" and annual billing as the discount. The gap is bigger than people expect. On Pro, paying monthly runs noticeably higher per month than the annual rate divided out — over a year, that's often the cost of an extra month or more, just for the flexibility of not committing upfront. For a client project, that math should shape how you quote: - **Short-term project (under 6 months), uncertain renewal:** monthly billing, even at the higher rate — you're not locked into a plan for a site that might not renew. - **Ongoing client relationship, retainer, or your own product site:** annual billing from day one. You already know you're keeping the site live past the discount's break-even point (typically 2–3 months in). - **Agency managing many client sites:** push clients toward annual in the proposal itself. It's cheaper for them and removes a monthly billing conversation from your plate. Framer occasionally runs its own promotional pricing (seasonal discounts, bundled credits) — those show up directly on the pricing page, not in third-party recaps, so check there before assuming the "standard" annual rate is the best available price. ## How Framer's Pricing Compares to Other Site Builders Context matters here. A $30/month Pro plan feels expensive in isolation and reasonable next to the alternatives: - **Webflow** charges separately for the CMS plan and hosting in a lot of configurations, and its equivalent CMS-tier plans land in a similar $20–40/month range once you need a real content-driven site. - **Squarespace** bundles hosting and CMS at a lower entry price, but caps customization and doesn't give you Framer's code-component layer for interactive builds. - **WordPress** looks free at the software layer, then adds hosting, a page builder license, security plugins, and maintenance time — the "cheap" option that often costs more in hours than a Framer subscription costs in dollars, especially once something breaks. None of this makes Framer the objectively cheapest option — it makes the $10–30/month range a reasonable mid-market price for what you get: a real visual builder, CMS, and hosting in one bill, without a separate hosting invoice. ## A Realistic First-Year Budget Putting the pieces from this article together, here's what a typical client site actually costs across a first year, beyond the one-time design fee:
Line item Typical annual cost
Framer Pro (annual billing) ~$360/year
Domain registration $10–20/year
Extra editor seat (if needed) Varies — confirm current per-seat rate
Plugins (one-time, e.g. CMS filtering, forms) One-time, not recurring
Total recurring Roughly $370–400/year , plugins excluded
That's the number worth putting in a client proposal's "ongoing costs" section — most freelancers quote the design fee and go quiet on hosting, which turns into an awkward conversation the first time the client gets a Framer renewal email they didn't expect. ## Framer Pricing vs. What You're Actually Solving For The most common mistake in a Framer pricing decision isn't picking the wrong tier — it's assuming plan tier fixes a problem plan tier can't touch. Site speed, CMS filtering, form reliability, and component depth are Framer *feature* questions, not billing questions. If your site is slow, our [performance guide](/blog/optimize-framer-site-performance) will get you further than an upgrade will. If page speed and Core Web Vitals matter for the project (they should), start there before you assume more bandwidth solves it — bandwidth caps and page speed are unrelated problems that happen to live on the same pricing page. Re-check the numbers in this article against [framer.com/pricing](https://www.framer.com/pricing) before you finalize a quote. Framer ships pricing and plan changes often enough that anything written down — including this — has a shelf life. ## FAQ **How much does Framer cost per month?** Free ($0), Basic ($10/month), Pro ($30/month), and custom-priced Enterprise, all cheaper on annual billing than month-to-month. Confirm current numbers at [framer.com/pricing](https://www.framer.com/pricing) before quoting — Framer updates pricing periodically. **Is Framer actually free to use?** Yes, for prototyping — but Free can't connect a custom domain and caps bandwidth at 1 GB, so it's not viable for a real client-facing launch. **What's the difference between Framer Basic and Pro?** Basic caps you at 30 pages and 2 CMS collections; Pro raises that to 150 pages, 10 CMS collections, and doubles the bandwidth. Any site with an active blog or growing CMS collection needs Pro. **Do I need a Framer subscription for every client site?** Yes — each published site is billed on its own plan. Build the recurring monthly cost into every client proposal, not just a one-time design fee. **Does upgrading my Framer plan add features Framer doesn't build natively?** No. Plan upgrades raise limits — pages, CMS, bandwidth, seats — not capabilities. Multi-field filtering, advanced forms, and a bigger component library are usually solved with [plugins](/plugins), not a higher tier.
