Framer vs Hostinger AI Builder

Framer

• Designers and marketers building marketing sites, portfolios and landing pages
• Teams that want AI-generated pages they can still adjust by hand
• Students and early-stage startups, who can apply for a free year

Hostinger AI Builder

• Small businesses that want a site, hosting, domain and email on one bill
• Non-developers building booking pages, stores or simple web apps
• Existing Hostinger hosting customers, whose plans already include AI Builder

Framer

• Framer builds websites rather than applications, and each published site needs its own plan.
• Additional editors cost $20 a month each, or $10 for content-only editors, on top of the site plan.
• Basic stops at 30 pages and 2 CMS collections; staging and branching need Pro.
• The desktop app covers Mac and Windows only; no mobile or Linux app is listed.

Hostinger AI Builder

• Plans are paid upfront; the advertised monthly rate assumes a 48-month term and rises at renewal.
• The AI credits bundled with a plan are a one-time gift of 5 or 15; top-ups cost extra and expire after 3 months.
• It builds responsive web apps only, not native mobile apps for the App Store or Google Play.
• If the hosting plan expires and is not renewed, the project goes offline and its data is permanently deleted.

Framer

Agents on the canvas

A design agent generates and refines layouts in place, and other agents manage CMS content or write code components. Each change stays visible and editable.

Visual design canvas

Pages are laid out on a freeform canvas with responsive breakpoints, components and effects, with no coding needed for layout or interactions.

Built-in CMS

Collections, fields and detail pages hold a site's content: 2 collections and 1,000 items on Basic, 10 collections and 2,500 items on Pro.

Hosting and publishing

Sites publish to built-in hosting with custom domains, SSL and analytics. Pro adds a staging environment, site redirects and 90 days of analytics history.

Live collaboration

Teams work together with multiplayer cursors, comments, roles and branch previews. Viewers are free, and extra editors are billed per seat.

External agents and Server API

Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other AI tools can connect to a project, and a Server API updates and publishes sites from a script without opening Framer.

Hostinger AI Builder

Manual and Agentic modes

Manual mode starts from an AI-generated site and is edited by drag-and-drop without using credits. Agentic mode builds and changes a project through chat.

Built-in back end

Agentic projects can add databases, user accounts and file storage without separate services, with data kept on Hostinger's servers.

Hosting, domain and email included

Every plan includes hosting and mailboxes, and a custom domain is free for the first year. Publishing deploys the site or app to a live URL in one click.

Payments and integrations

Stripe payments for subscriptions and one-time charges are built in, and PayPal, Google AdSense and other API-based services can be connected in Agentic mode.

Code editor and export

Agentic mode has a built-in code editor, and paid plans can download the full source code to host elsewhere.

AI features inside your app

Chatbots, smart search and content generators can be added to a live project. Visitor use of these features draws on the same AI credit balance.
