How we grade them
| 2.0GPADorikFair | 2.6GPAFramerGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPersonal is $20.75 a month on yearly billing ($29 monthly) for one custom domain, near the dearer quarter of what builders charge. A lifetime deal sells the same plan for $249 once, but it's billed as a special offer, so we've graded the yearly price. Domains are bought elsewhere. | BBasic is $10 a month per site, billed yearly, inside the cheapest quarter of what builders here charge, and it covers 1,000 AI credits a month, 30 pages, 50 GB of bandwidth and a custom domain. Two multipliers to watch: every site needs its own plan, and each extra editor is $20 a month on top. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan. There's a 7-day trial with the full features and site limits of whichever plan you pick, and the listing doesn't say whether it wants a card. After that, every site needs a paid plan. | BBetter than most free plans in this category: you can actually design and publish, on a Framer address, with up to three editors. The limits are 1 GB of bandwidth and 500 AI credits to try, no custom domain, and Framer calls it suited to non-commercial use. A personal site could live here. |
| Features | CAI site generation, a no-code editor with UI blocks, a CMS with custom collections, a blog with imports, solid SEO controls, forms and a payment button. Good for content sites. But Personal caps a site at 25 pages and 5 collections, and selling stops at that payment button. | CIt does the website job fully: agents draft layouts on a canvas you can still edit by hand, with a CMS, hosting, SEO, analytics, staging, branch previews, multiplayer editing and a Server API. But Framer's own pages say it builds websites rather than applications, which is the smaller job here. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. The AI gives you a first draft, then it's templates and blocks in a no-code editor. Fine, but you're still building pages and setting up collections yourself. | CNo rating on record, and a freeform canvas with responsive breakpoints, components and CMS collections takes learning, even with agents drafting the first pass. The good part is that what the AI changes stays visible and editable, so you're never locked out of your own page. |
| Platforms and integrations | CA web app, and the integrations are thin: Airtable for site content, plus blog imports from WordPress, Medium, Ghost and Substack. No desktop or phone app is listed. | BWeb plus desktop apps for Mac and Windows, with no phone or Linux app listed. Claude Code, Codex and Cursor can connect to a project, there's a Server API for publishing from a script, and it works with Shopify, Tally and Cal.com. |
| Best for | blogs and CMS sites without code | marketing sites and portfolios you can still hand-tune |
