Framer pricing: what a Framer website really costs

Framer Basic is $10 a month and Pro $30 on yearly billing; extra editors are $20 each. For a one-page site, Carrd with your own domain is $19 a year.

By · Updated

A Framer website costs $10 a month on the Basic plan or $30 a month on Pro, billed yearly, as of October 29, 2026. That’s $120 or $360 a year for one site, with a complimentary domain on yearly billing. The bill grows with people and limits: each extra editor is $20 a month, and Pro charges for pages, CMS items and bandwidth beyond its allowance. For a one-page site, Carrd’s Pro Standard plan connects your own domain for $19 a year.

How this guide was put together: every price and limit comes from Framer’s pricing page and help center and from Carrd’s own pages, read on October 29, 2026. They match the figures on our Framer page and Carrd page. We haven’t built sites on these plans for this guide. All prices are in US dollars, before sales tax, which Framer adds at checkout based on your location.

How much does Framer cost per month?

Framer’s plans, as its pricing page shows them with yearly billing:

Free Basic Pro Enterprise
Price $0 $10/mo $30/mo Custom
Your own domain No (Framer domain) Yes, complimentary domain on yearly Yes, complimentary domain on yearly Yes
Pages 1,000 (design and testing) 30 150, then $20 per 100 (700 max) Custom
CMS collections 10 2 10, then $40 per 10 (40 max) Custom
CMS items Not listed 1,000 2,500, then $20 per 10,000 (40,000 max) Custom
Bandwidth per month 1 GB 50 GB 100 GB, then $40 per 100 GB (2 TB max) Custom
Hosting locations Not listed 20 300+ All available
AI credits 500 to try 1,000 a month 3,000 a month Volume discounts
Analytics history Not listed 30 days 90 days Unlimited
Staging, branching, redirects No No Yes Yes

What the table means in practice:

  • Basic has fixed limits. Framer labels Basic’s limits “Fixed” and Pro’s “Flexible, pay what you use”. A Basic site that needs a 31st page or a third CMS collection has to move to Pro.
  • Pro scales in blocks. Above its allowance, Pro adds 100 pages for $20, 10 collections for $40, 10,000 CMS items for $20 and 100 GB of bandwidth for $40, up to the caps shown.
  • AI credits are shared. Framer says paid plans include monthly credits that “power Agents, Localization, and other AI features” and are “shared across your entire workspace and its editors”. Basic and Pro both offer bigger credit allowances (Basic up to 15,000 a month, Pro up to 100,000), but the pricing page’s static text doesn’t show what those tiers cost.
  • Monthly billing exists, but its price isn’t shown. Framer says “all prices are monthly and billed according to the billing cycle selected at checkout”, and its help center describes both monthly and annual cycles. The page we read only shows the yearly-billing prices, and the complimentary domain is tied to yearly billing.

What does the Framer free plan include?

Framer’s FAQ says free projects include “10 CMS collections, 1,000 pages, 5 MB file uploads, and one free locale to try”, and that workspaces without a subscription can have up to three editors. The pricing page adds a free Framer domain, 1 GB of bandwidth, 500 AI credits to try and access to Framer’s MCP server.

The limits that matter:

  • No custom domain. “To connect a custom domain, you’ll need to upgrade to a paid plan.”
  • A “Made in Framer” banner on published free sites, per Framer’s plan comparison article.
  • Non-commercial use. Framer says its “Free plan is ideal for non-commercial use.”
  • 1 GB of bandwidth a month, against 50 GB on Basic.

That makes Free a place to design and test, or to publish a hobby page. A business site needs Basic at least.

What do Framer’s add-ons and editor seats cost?

The plan price covers one person: the workspace owner is free. Everyone else who edits is billed per seat:

Seat or add-on Price Notes
Additional editor $20/month Design, edit content and publish
Content editor $10/month Update CMS, localization and on-page editing
Viewer Free View and comment
Translation locale $20 per locale, up to 20 Basic and Pro
Convert (A/B testing, funnels) $50 per 500,000 events Pro
Advanced hosting $200 Pro; multiple sites and custom headers under one domain, max 6 rewrites

Basic and Pro both allow up to 10 seats with edit access. Framer’s help center says added editors “are billed monthly, regardless of the initial subscription type”, so a yearly plan doesn’t make editors cheaper, and that “editor seats are billed separately from Site plans.” The pricing page doesn’t print a billing period next to the locale and advanced hosting prices.

How much does a Framer website cost per year?

Four common setups, at yearly billing:

Setup Plan Extras Yearly total
Solo portfolio, under 30 pages Basic: 12 × $10 = $120 None $120
Small business, owner plus one content editor Basic: $120 Content editor: 12 × $10 = $120 $240
Small business, owner plus one full editor Basic: $120 Editor: 12 × $20 = $240 $360
Startup site with blog, staging, two extra editors Pro: 12 × $30 = $360 Editors: 2 × 12 × $20 = $480 $840

Worked example: a Pro site that outgrows its limits

A startup’s Pro site has 220 pages and uses 260 GB of bandwidth in a month:

  • Pages: 220 − 150 = 70 over, which needs one 100-page block: $20.
  • Bandwidth: 260 − 100 = 160 GB over, which needs two 100 GB blocks: 2 × $40 = $80.
  • That month: $30 + $20 + $80 = $130, before any editor seats.

Framer says that for some limits, “like bandwidth, we allow you to exceed your limit for one month” and sends an email so you can upgrade. It doesn’t publish an automatic overage rate beyond the block prices above.

Framer over three years

  • Basic: 3 × $120 = $360. The domain is complimentary on yearly billing, but Framer doesn’t say for how long or what it renews at. If you keep a .com at Cloudflare Registrar ($10.46 a year in our data) from year two, add 2 × $10.46 = $20.92, for $380.92.
  • Pro: 3 × $360 = $1,080 for one person, before add-ons.

Framer or Carrd for a portfolio or one-page site?

Carrd builds one-page sites only, and it prices by the year. Its free account allows “up to three sites per account” with Carrd’s core features. Paid plans, from Carrd’s Pro page:

Carrd plan Price Sites Your own domain What it adds
Pro Lite $9/year 3 No No branding, premium templates, video uploads
Pro Lite 10 / 25 $14 / $29 a year 10 / 25 No Same as Pro Lite
Pro Standard $19/year 10 Yes Forms, widgets, embeds, analytics, meta tags
Pro Standard 25 / 50 / 100 $39 / $69 / $119 a year 25 / 50 / 100 Yes Same as Pro Standard
Pro Plus $49/year 25 Yes Advanced forms, redirects, password protection, site downloads

Carrd’s custom domains come “with full SSL support (via Let’s Encrypt)”, but its Pro page doesn’t offer a domain with any plan, so you register one separately. Every Pro plan removes the “Made with Carrd” branding, and Carrd offers a 7-day Pro trial with “no payment or credit card required”. Plans can “automatically renew yearly” or be paid as you go.

Worked example: one-page portfolio, three years

  • Carrd Pro Standard: plan 3 × $19 = $57; .com at Cloudflare 3 × $10.46 = $31.38. Total: $88.38.
  • Framer Basic: $380.92, as above.
  • Difference: $380.92 − $88.38 = $292.54 over three years.

The extra money buys things Carrd doesn’t do: multiple pages (30 on Basic), a CMS for a blog or case studies, Framer’s design tools and AI features. If one page is enough, Carrd is the cheaper tool by a wide margin. If you need a few pages and a blog, Carrd isn’t an option.

Is Framer worth the money?

It depends on which limit you’d hit first. Three questions settle it:

  1. How many pages and collections do you need? Basic stops at 30 pages and 2 CMS collections. A portfolio with a projects collection and a blog fits; a site with projects, a blog, team bios and job listings (4 collections) needs Pro, so the real price is $360 a year, not $120.
  2. How many people will edit? Each full editor adds $240 a year and each content editor $120 a year. For a three-person team on Basic with two content editors, that’s $120 + 2 × $120 = $360 a year, the same as one person on Pro.
  3. Do you need staging or redirects? Both are Pro features. Redirects matter if you’re moving an existing site and want to keep its old URLs working in search.

If the answers are “under 30 pages, one or two editors, no staging”, Basic at $10 a month is one of the cheaper ways to put a design-led site on your own domain. How it compares with WordPress.com, Webflow, Wix and Squarespace on the same terms is in the cheapest website builders with a custom domain.

What to watch for

  • Seats, not just plans. Framer’s plan price covers the owner only. A team of three on Pro pays $30 + 2 × $20 = $90 a month.
  • Basic’s fixed limits. 30 pages, 2 CMS collections and 1,000 items. Growing past any of them means Pro, at three times the price.
  • The complimentary domain. It needs yearly billing, and Framer doesn’t state how long it’s free or the renewal price.
  • Refunds are short. Framer’s help center allows refunds “within 7 days of the initial purchase” (14 days in the EU and Turkey) and says refunds “are generally not available for unused subscription time” after that. Downgrades turn unused value into account credit that “cannot be refunded.”
  • Cancellation. Subscriptions stay active “until the end of the current billing period after cancellation.”
  • Carrd’s cheapest plan has no domain. Pro Lite ($9) removes branding but doesn’t connect your own domain; you need Pro Standard ($19).
  • Lock-in. Framer and Carrd sites live in their editors. Carrd’s Pro Plus lists site downloads; Framer’s pricing page doesn’t list an export option.

Which plan should you choose?

  • Testing an idea or a hobby page: Framer Free, on a Framer domain, if non-commercial use and 1 GB of bandwidth are enough. Carrd’s free account is the alternative for a one-pager.
  • One-page portfolio, link page or launch page: Carrd Pro Standard, $19 a year plus a domain.
  • Designer’s portfolio or a small business site with a short blog: Framer Basic, $120 a year, as long as 30 pages and 2 CMS collections fit.
  • Startup or agency site with several editors, staging and a growing CMS: Framer Pro, $360 a year plus $20 a month per extra editor.
  • Need more than a design-led site, such as bookings or a shop: compare other builders’ cheapest plans with a domain in the cheapest website builders and Wix and Squarespace alternatives.
