One of the most common questions everyone asks is about the Framer pricing plan.
“What plan should I go for?”
“Is this the right pricing plan for me?”
“What am I missing out on?”
and so on…
Understanding which Framer plan is crucial for maximizing value and ensuring that you have the tools necessary for your projects. The right plan helps you stay within budget while meeting all your design and development requirements.
In this guide, we’ll go over each plan, the pros and cons, and help you decide which plan is the right one for you. Each plan has a ton of features; however, we will be covering the essential ones.
Site Plans vs. Workspace Plans
Framer's pricing structure is divided into two main categories: Site Plans and Workspace Plans.
What’s the difference?
Site Plans are pricing plans for individual sites. This means if you have three websites built in Framer and want to upgrade them, you will need to get three separate plans.
Workspace Plans are for managing multiple projects in terms of collaborators and editors.
Let’s dive into these differences in more detail.
Framer Site Plans Explained
Key Features
Before we go into the pricing, pros, and cons of each plan, it’s important to understand some key terms:
Bandwidth: The amount of data transferred from a site to the user. For example, if your website size is 3 MB, and 100 people visit the page, the website would consume 300MB of bandwidth.
Visitors: The number of visitors coming to your website. If you exceed the limit, your website does not go down. You’re sent an email suggesting an upgrade.
Max Upload Size: The size of the file you can upload to Framer, on a per-file basis.
SSL Certificate: The padlock you see near a URL bar ensuring your website is safe and secure.
Image Optimization: Ensuring your images are low in size and high in quality, allowing your website to load quicker.
Custom Domain: Connecting a domain you own to the website. By default, you would be on a Framer domain (yourwebsite.framer.app).
CMS Collections: A database setup. One database equals one collection. For example, a CMS collection for a blog, portfolio, and team would be three collections.
CDN: This is a Content Delivery Network, allowing your website to fetch content quick.
CMS Items: The number of items under a collection. For example, if you have one CMS collection (like a blog) and 12 blog posts, you have 12 items.
Search Page Limit: The limit to which your pages can be searched via the Framer search feature. This does not affect Google searchability.
