Which one is for you
Pick Framer if
- Fits if you're a designer or marketer building a marketing site, portfolio or landing page
- Works for students and early-stage startups, who can apply for a free year
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need an app with logins and a database, because Framer builds websites
- Pricey if you have a team, as each extra editor is $20 a month, or $10 for content only, on top of the site plan
- Tight if your site is big, since Basic stops at 30 pages and 2 CMS collections, and staging and branching need Pro at $30
- Watch out: every published site needs its own plan, and the desktop app is Mac and Windows only
- Not for you if you want a custom domain or commercial use for free, as Free uses a Framer address and is meant for non-commercial sites
Pick Landingsite if
- Fits if you need a simple one-page site for a local business
- Works for someone who wants hosting, SSL and a logo in one place
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a free site: publishing needs a paid plan
- Too light for a store: Basic is one page with no selling
- Pricey if you sell online, at $20 a site plus a 1% fee on top of Stripe's
- Watch out: the $1 domain covers year one only, and annual prices are shown, not monthly
How we grade them
| 2.6GPAFramerGood | 2.2GPALandingsiteFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | 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. | B$10 a month per website on yearly billing, inside the category's cheaper quarter, but for a single page with no online selling. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree lets you 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. | CNo free plan. You can build and preview with no card, but publishing needs a paid plan. |
| Features | 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. | CAI site, logo, hosting, SSL, forms and stats. One page on Basic and no store until Pro. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record, and a freeform canvas with responsive breakpoints, components and CMS collections takes learning, even with agents drafting the first pass. What the AI changes stays visible and editable by hand. | CNo store rating on record. You answer two questions and edit by chat, but it's still a site you have to build and check. |
| Platforms and integrations | 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. | CWeb only, with Stripe for payments on Pro. |
| Best for | marketing sites and portfolios you can still hand-tune | a one-page small business site |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
