Before you pay
Free or Basic
The free plan publishes on a framer.website address with 1 GB of bandwidth, enough to try a portfolio. Basic connects your own domain and covers a small site, with CMS collections for a simple blog. Framer is priced per site, so each client site is its own subscription.
What a year costs
Basic is 15 € a month billed monthly, 180 € a year, or 10 € a month billed yearly, 120 € a year. Pro is 45 € a month, 540 € a year, or 30 € billed yearly, 360 € a year. Design and hosting are in the same subscription. We read the same 15 € on 12 September, 10 October and 26 October.
What we would check before paying
On monthly billing you connect a domain you already own: the free domain name and the doubled credits of the first month come with yearly billing only. AI features are metered in credits, 1,000 a month on Basic. Localisation and A/B testing are paid add-ons.
The limits to know

- AI features are metered in credits, not unlimited
- Localisation and A/B testing are paid add-ons on top of the plan
- The complimentary domain name comes with yearly billing only; month to month, you connect a domain you already own
