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

- 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

- Works for freelancers building many sites on one Pro plan
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as the 7-day trial ends in a paywall

- Pricey if you add editors, at $9.99 a month each

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.
