Why Framer Pricing Matters for Your Project
Choosing the right Framer pricing plan can mean the difference between overpaying for features you don't need and hitting frustrating limits right when your site starts gaining traction. Framer offers five tiers in 2026 — Free, Basic, Pro, Scale, and Enterprise — each designed for a different stage of growth.
This guide breaks down exactly what you get on each plan, who it's best suited for, and how to decide which one makes sense for your project without wasting money.
Framer's Pricing Tiers at a Glance
Before diving into the details, here's a quick overview of what each plan costs with annual billing (which saves you roughly 33% on most plans):
Free — $0/month. Basic — $10/month. Pro — $30/month. Scale — $100/month (annual only). Enterprise — custom pricing.
Monthly billing is available on Basic and Pro plans at a higher rate, but Scale requires an annual commitment. Now let's look at what each tier actually includes.
Free Plan: Test the Waters
Framer's Free plan is generous enough to build and explore the platform without any commitment. You get access to the full design editor, up to 1,000 pages, 10 CMS collections, and 1,000 CMS items.
The catch? Your site will display Framer branding, run on a framer.app subdomain (no custom domain), and is limited to 1,000 visitors per month. That last limitation means the Free plan isn't viable for any site you're actually trying to drive traffic to.
Best for: Experimenting with Framer before committing, building prototypes or mockups you don't plan to publish publicly, and students or hobbyists learning web design.
Basic Plan ($10/month): Personal Sites and Simple Projects
The Basic plan is where Framer becomes usable for real projects. At $10/month with annual billing, you get Framer branding removed, a free .com custom domain, 30 site pages, 1 CMS collection, 1,000 CMS items, and 10 GB of monthly bandwidth.
The free custom domain is a big deal — most website builders charge extra for this or require you to purchase one separately. Framer started offering free custom domains in January 2026, making the Basic plan even more compelling for personal projects.
The main limitation at this tier is the single CMS collection. If your site needs a blog and a separate collection for something like team members or portfolio projects, you'll outgrow Basic quickly. But for a straightforward portfolio, personal site, or simple landing page, it's all you need.
Best for: Personal portfolios, freelancer websites, simple one-product landing pages, and small personal blogs.
Pro Plan ($30/month): The Sweet Spot for Most Projects
The Pro plan is where most serious projects land, and for good reason. At $30/month with annual billing, the feature jump from Basic is substantial.
You get 150 pages, 10 CMS collections with 2,500 items, 100 GB bandwidth, staging environments, advanced analytics, site redirects, roles and permissions, and relational CMS capabilities.
The staging environment alone justifies the upgrade for client work — you can build and test changes without touching the live site. The jump to 10 CMS collections also unlocks complex content structures. You can have separate collections for blog posts, team members, case studies, testimonials, FAQ items, and more, all linked together with relational CMS references.
If you're running a business site with a blog, the Pro plan is effectively the entry point. Our complete Framer CMS guide covers how to structure your collections and get the most out of Framer's content management system.
The 100 GB bandwidth ceiling is comfortable for most small to medium sites. You'd need roughly 50,000-100,000 monthly visitors before bandwidth becomes a concern, depending on how image-heavy your pages are.
Best for: Business websites, client projects, content-heavy sites with blogs, SaaS marketing sites, agency portfolios, and any project that needs staging or team collaboration.
Scale Plan ($100/month): High-Traffic and Complex Sites
The Scale plan is designed for sites that have outgrown Pro's limits. At $100/month with annual billing (no monthly option), you get 500 GB bandwidth, 100 GB storage, 30 CMS collections, and the ability to expand limits further with add-ons.
With add-ons, Scale can handle up to 40,000 CMS items, 40 CMS collections, 2 TB of bandwidth, and 500 pages. This makes it suitable for large content sites, ecommerce stores with extensive product catalogs, and high-traffic marketing sites.
The key difference from Pro isn't just the higher ceilings — it's the usage-based overage pricing. On Basic and Pro, if you hit your limits, you're stuck until you upgrade. On Scale, you can pay for additional resources as needed, which means unexpected traffic spikes won't take your site down.
If you're optimizing a high-traffic site, our Framer performance optimization guide covers techniques to reduce bandwidth consumption and speed up page loads.
Best for: High-traffic business sites, large ecommerce operations, content-heavy platforms with thousands of CMS items, and teams that need flexibility to scale resources on demand.
Enterprise Plan: Custom Everything
Enterprise is Framer's white-glove tier for large organizations. Pricing is custom and negotiated directly with Framer's sales team.
Enterprise includes unlimited editor seats, custom resource limits, a 99.99% uptime SLA, SAML-based SSO for secure team authentication, dedicated account management with Slack or Microsoft Teams integration, and priority support with a median response time under 10 minutes.
If your company has strict security requirements, needs guaranteed uptime, or operates at a scale where the standard plans feel limiting, Enterprise is the path forward.
Best for: Fortune 500 companies, large agencies managing multiple client sites, organizations with strict compliance and security requirements.
Annual vs Monthly Billing
Framer offers annual billing at roughly a 33% discount on Basic and Pro plans. For the Basic plan, that's the difference between $10/month (annual) and $15/month (monthly). For Pro, it's $30/month versus $45/month.
The Scale plan is annual billing only at $100/month — there's no monthly option.
If you're building a site you plan to keep running for more than a few months, annual billing is the obvious choice. The only scenario where monthly billing makes sense is short-term projects — like building a temporary campaign site or testing whether Framer is the right platform before committing.
Hidden Costs to Consider
Framer's pricing is straightforward, but there are a few additional costs worth factoring into your budget.
Custom domains: Basic plans and above include a free .com domain, but if you want a premium domain or a specific TLD (.io, .co, .design), you'll need to purchase that separately from a domain registrar.
Third-party integrations: Framer itself doesn't charge for integrations, but many of the tools you might connect — analytics platforms, form processors, email marketing services, payment gateways — have their own pricing. Our forms and integrations guide covers the most popular options and their costs.
Template purchases: If you start with a premium template instead of building from scratch or using Framer AI, that's a one-time cost ranging from free to around $150 depending on the template.
How to Choose the Right Plan
Here's a simple decision framework:
Just exploring Framer? Start with Free. You can always upgrade later, and your work carries over.
Launching a simple personal site or portfolio? Basic at $10/month covers everything you need, including a free custom domain.
Building a business site, client project, or anything with a blog? Pro at $30/month is the sweet spot. The staging environment, multiple CMS collections, and team features justify the cost.
Running a high-traffic site or need flexibility? Scale at $100/month gives you room to grow without hitting hard ceilings.
The most common mistake is starting on a plan that's too high. Framer makes it easy to upgrade anytime, so start with the tier that matches your current needs and move up when you actually hit the limits. You'll never lose your work or settings when upgrading.
Framer Pricing vs the Competition
Compared to other website builders in 2026, Framer's pricing sits in the mid-range — more expensive than basic builders like Wix or Squarespace at the entry level, but significantly cheaper than Webflow for comparable features.
Webflow's comparable CMS plan starts at $29/month but with tighter CMS limits and no free custom domain. Squarespace starts at $16/month but offers far less design flexibility. WordPress itself is free, but hosting, themes, plugins, and maintenance quickly add up to more than Framer's Pro plan.
Where Framer delivers the most value per dollar is in the design control and publishing speed you get without needing to hire a developer. If you're currently paying separately for a design tool, hosting, CMS platform, and analytics — Framer bundles all of that into one price.

Final Thoughts
Framer's pricing structure in 2026 is designed to grow with you. The free tier gives you the full editor to experiment, Basic handles simple projects affordably, Pro covers the majority of professional use cases, and Scale provides the headroom for serious traffic and complex content architectures.
The best approach is to start where you are, not where you think you'll be in a year. Framer's upgrade path is seamless — your designs, content, and settings all carry forward. Pick the plan that fits today, and let your site's growth dictate when it's time to move up.
