Framer Pricing Breakdown: Which Plan Is Best For You?

Choosing the right Framer plan can be tricky, especially with all the options available. 

You don’t want to overspend on features you don’t need or miss out on important ones that could be crucial to your website. 

In this post, we’ll break down Framer’s pricing plans, highlight key differences, and help you decide which plan is the best fit for your needs–whether you’re just starting out or managing a growing business. 

Framer Pricing Overview

Framer offers two types of pricing plans: Site Plans and Workspace Plans.

At first glance, it can be a little confusing to understand the difference between the two, so let's break each one down.

Site Plans

These are for managing individual websites.

For each new website you publish, you'll need a separate site plan.

This allows features like visitor limits and custom domains to be tailored for each project.

Workspace Plans

These plans are built for teams.

Workspace pricing applies to the entire workspace, meaning multiple people can collaborate across different websites.

With workspace plans, you pay for each additional editor, and those editors can work on all the websites within a workspace.

For example:

Let's say you have a portfolio site and an agency site.

With site plans, you'd need two separate plans–one for each site.

However, in terms of a workspace plan, you'll only need to pay for any additional editors who need access to all of the projects in your workspace.

Now that we've covered the basic pricing structure, let's dive into the specifics of Framer's site plans and what each offers.

Framer Site Plans

Free Plan

Framer's Free Plan is designed for beginners or hobbyists who want to experiment with building websites without committing to a paid plan just yet.

It gives you access to Framer's core design and publishing features along with more advanced features such as CMS collections, custom fonts, and more.

So you might be thinking if the Free Plan comes with so many features, why would you need to upgrade to a paid plan?

Well, the Free Plan has a few limitations:

• Framer Subdomain: You can only publish your site on a Framer-branded domain.

• Visitor Limits: The free plan has a limit of 1,000 visitors.

• Made in Framer Banner: Your site will display a "Made in Framer" banner in the bottom-right.

This plan is perfect if you're just starting out and want to get a feel for Framer's platform without any upfront investment.

Mini Plan - $5/site per month

The Mini Plan is a budget-friendly option for those who need a custom domain and want to remove the "Made in Framer" banner.

However, it comes with a few limitations:

• Page Limit: You can only have a main page and a 404 page. (And no, you can't use the 404 page as something else)

• No CMS: Somewhat confusingly, unlike the Free Plan, the Mini Plan doesn't support any CMS collections.

• Visitor Limit: Like the Free Plan, the Mini Plan is capped at 1,000 visitors per month.

With the above in mind, the Mini Plan is ideal for a simple one-page site or landing pages.

Speaking of landing pages, you can also add a form to capture up to 50 submissions per month, perfect for collecting leads or feedback.

Basic Plan - $15/site per month

The Basic Plan is a great option for those looking for more advanced features than the Mini Plan.

Here's what you get:

• 150 Static Pages: With the Basic Plan, you can create heavier websites with up to 150 pages.

• 2 CMS Collections: You're also allowed up to 2 CMS collections so you can better organize your content.

• 10,000 Monthly Visitors: You also get an upgraded visitor limit of 10,000 visitors per month which is great for growing sites.

• 500 Form Submissions: You can also benefit from up to 500 form submissions which is great for capturing leads.

• Basic CDN: The basic CDN can help speed up the load times on your website.

This plan is perfect for personal websites or small businesses that expect decent traffic.

Pro Plan - $25/site per month

Moving on to the Pro Plan, this plan is designed for users who need even more advanced features and handle larger volumes of traffic.

Here's what you get:

• Unlimited Pages: You're no longer limited by the number of pages you can create on your website.

• 10 CMS Collections: You can also create up to 10 CMS collections which is great for content-heavy sites.

• 200,000 Monthly Visitors: You get a much larger visitor limit, which is perfect for scaling businesses.

• 2,500 Form Submissions: You get 2,500 form submissions.

• Global CDN: Speed up your site even more with a global CDN.

This plan is great for businesses or professionals running more complex websites with significant traffic.

Enterprise Plan - Custom Pricing

The Enterprise Plan is Framer's top-tier option, build for larger organizations with specific needs.

It includes things like dedicated support, advanced security features, SSO, management controls and more.

In all honesty, there's very few who'll actually be needing the Enterprise Plan and so to avoid any confusion, I won't go into too much detail.

Framer Workspace Plans

Framer's Workspace Plans are only something you need to think about if you plan on inviting collaborators to your projects.

Whether you're a small team or running an agency, these plans allow you to invite as many editors as you need to collaborate on your websites.

However, if you don't plan on inviting any editors, feel free to skip this section entirely.

Important: It's important to note that no matter which plan you choose, the first editor (which is the website owner) is always free.

You won't be charged unless you invite additional collaborators to your workspace.

Let's break down the different workspace plans available.

Free Workspace Plan

Framer's Free Workspace Plan is perfect for small teams or individuals looking to collaborate without any financial commitment.

This plan allows you to invite up to 2 additional editors to work on your free sites at no extra cost.

You'll also get access to other essential features such as 3-day version history to restore previous versions of your project in case something goes wrong and 500MB file storage for your assets and files.

Basic Workspace Plan - $15/editor per month

The Basic Workspace Plan is ideal for small teams that need more flexibility.

Priced at $15 per editor per month, it allows you to add up to 5 editors to collaborate across your sites, both free and paid.

This plan also includes:

Comments: Add comments to the canvas to collaborate efficiently.

• 7-Day Version History: A step up from the 3-day version history in the free plan.

• 1GB File Storage: Plenty of space for larger files and assets.

The Basic Workspace Plan provides just enough features for small teams looking to take their collaboration up a notch.

Pro Workspace Plan - $30/editor per month

The Pro Workspace Plan is designed for larger teams with more advanced collaboration needs.

Priced at $30 per editor per month, this plan allows up to 10 editors and offers even more features including:

• Advanced Permissions: Control access levels for each editor.

• 30-Day Version History: Restore your project as far back as one month ago.

• 10GB File Storage: Huge amount of space for files and assets.

Enterprise Workspace Plan - Custom Pricing

The Enterprise Workspace Plan is again, built for larger organizations that need custom solutions.

It offers features like unlimited workspaces, custom editors, SSO (Single Sign-On) for team members, and a lot more.

But again, this is probably overkill for the majority of people so I'll leave that as it is.

Add-Ons Overview

Framer offers a range of add-ons that allow you to customize and enhance your site or workspace plan.

These add-ons give you more control, features, and scalability depending on what you need for your project.

Whether you're looking to translate content, boost site speed, or manage more CMS collections, Framer's add-ons are the way to go.

Let's dive into each add-on, explore who it's useful for, and look at the pricing options.

Pro Locale - $40 per month

The Pro Locale add-on is designed for users who need to create multilingual websites.

It allows you to translate your site into multiple languages and manage up to 50,000 translated words across five different locales.

This is particularly useful for businesses or creators who are trying to reach a global audience and provide a localized experience for visitors.

Note: You get 1 additional locale and 5,000 translated words on all Site Plans. This add-on is useful if you need more than 1 locale.

CMS Upgrade - $90 per month

The CMS Upgrade add-on gives your site's content management capability a huge boost.

It allows for up to 20 CMS collections and 20,000 CMS items, making it ideal for content-heavy websites like large blogs or e-commerce stores.

So if you plan on managing a large amount of dynamic content, this add-on might be something to consider.

Bandwidth - $100 per month

The Bandwidth add-on makes sure your website can handle higher traffic levels without any performance issues.

It comes in two tiers:

• Bandwidth: $100 per month for up to 500,000 visitors.

• Bandwidth Ultra: $200 per month for up to 750,000 visitors.

If you foresee your website getting tons of traffic in the future, this add-on is something to bear in mind.

Custom Proxy Setup - $350 per month

This is a more advanced add-on so without getting too technical, the Custom Proxy Setup add-on allows you to configure your site's proxy settings for advanced URL management.

It's helpful for businesses that require more control over their site's SEO, especially when managing multiple domains or complex URL structures.

Accelerated Hosting - $150 per month

The Accelerated Hosting add-on is designed to dramatically improve your site's loading speed and performance by using AWS Global Accelerator and Cloudfront technology.

So if global, super fast load times are important to you and your budget allows, this add-on might be something to consider.

How to Switch Between Plans

Switching between Framer plans is a simple process, whether you're upgrading or downgrading.

To change plans, head to your site settings, go to plans, and select the plan you want to upgrade/downgrade to and whether you want to pay monthly or yearly.

Keep in mind that if you're upgrading, the new features become available immediately.

However, downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing cycle.

Choosing the Best Plan for You

By now, you should have a pretty firm grasp on all of the plans and what plan would be best for your project.

Choosing the right Framer plan depends on your project's size, complexity, and collaboration needs.

If you're just starting out or managing a simple website, the Mini Plan might be all you need.

But for more advanced projects or growing websites, the Basic Plan or Pro Plan offer the features to handle larger traffic and more complex site needs.

For teams, Workspace Plans provide everything you need to start collaborating on your website quickly and easily.

FAQs

Can I switch between plans anytime?

Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately, while downgrades apply at the end of your billing cycle.

What happens if I exceed my visitor or bandwidth limits?

If you go over your limits, Framer will alert you, and you can simply upgrade.

Do I need a Workspace Plan if I'm working alone?

The website owner (you) is always free. You only need a paid Workspace Plan if you plan on inviting editors to collaborate on your website.

How do I remove the "Made in Framer" badge?

To remove the "Made in Framer" badge from your website, you'll need to upgrade to at least the Mini Plan.
