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 Relume if
- Fits if you plan sites in Figma or Webflow and want a head start
- Works for agencies producing client site structures
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: a relumesite.ai address, the Relume badge and 1,500 page views
- Pricey if you host several sites: Launch hosting is $12 a site
- Watch out: most prices are marked from, with no billing basis given
- Watch out: sharing is read-only on the free Site Builder plan
How we grade them
| 2.6GPAFramerGood | 2.2GPARelumeFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | CPro AI is $24, Launch hosting is $12 a site and Site Builder starts at $18, so the total depends on the pieces you stack. |
| 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. | CA free plan with unlimited sites, a relumesite.ai address, 1,500 page views and 20 forms a month. There's a 7-day Pro trial too. |
| 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. | CSitemap, wireframes, style guide, agents and 1,000+ components, with hosting, forms and analytics. Free has only 30 Webflow and 30 React components. |
| 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. It is a web builder with several products to pick among, so there is learning to do. |
| 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. | BWeb app that exports to Figma, Webflow and React, with Google Analytics, Meta Pixel and Untitled UI. |
| Best for | marketing sites and portfolios you can still hand-tune | sitemaps and designs exported to Figma or Webflow |

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.
