Framer pricing can look confusing at first because it splits into two kinds of plans. This guide makes it simple.
By the end you will know what the free plan offers, what each paid plan unlocks, and which one fits your project. Prices change over time, so always confirm the current numbers on the official Framer pricing page.
The two types of Framer plans
Framer has site plans and workspace plans. They cover different things, and you may need both.
| Plan type | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Site plans | Publishing one website: custom domain, pages, CMS, bandwidth |
| Workspace plans | Your team and editor seats, collaboration, and shared features |
For one personal or business site, a site plan is the main thing you pay for. Teams add a workspace plan for seats and collaboration.
The free plan
Framer is free to start. You can design, learn, and even publish on a Framer subdomain.
The free plan is perfect for learning and for testing an idea. The main limit is that you cannot connect your own custom domain, and page and CMS limits are small.
Site plans, plan by plan
Site plans scale with how big and capable your site needs to be. Here is the general shape, from smallest to largest.
| Plan | Best for | Unlocks |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Learning and testing | Framer subdomain, small limits |
| Mini | A simple one page site | Custom domain, a couple of pages, no CMS |
| Basic | A small marketing site | More pages and the CMS |
| Pro | A full site or blog | Many more pages and CMS items, higher limits |
The jump most people care about is from Mini to Basic, because Basic unlocks the CMS. If you want a blog or portfolio, you need at least the plan that includes the CMS.
Roughly what it costs
As a guide for 2026, site plans usually run from a few dollars a month for the smallest plan up to around twenty five to thirty dollars a month for Pro, billed yearly. Monthly billing costs more.
These numbers move, so treat them as a ballpark and check the live pricing page before you buy.
Which plan do you actually need?
Match the plan to your goal, not to the longest feature list.
| Your goal | Plan to choose |
|---|---|
| Just learning | Free |
| One simple landing page | Mini |
| Small business site, no blog | Basic |
| Marketing site with a blog | Pro |
| Team building together | A site plan plus a workspace plan |
Costs people forget
Two costs sit outside Framer's plans. Budget for them.
- Your domain name, bought from a registrar, usually about ten to fifteen dollars a year.
- Design and build time, if you hire someone to make the site rather than build it yourself.
Is Framer worth it?
For most marketing sites, yes. You get fast hosting, easy editing, and no maintenance, for a low monthly cost.
Compared to building and hosting a custom site, or paying for ongoing WordPress upkeep, Framer is usually cheaper over time. If you want the site built for you, estimate the one time design cost with my cost calculator.
