How much does a Framer website cost?

Framer hosting costs $10 to $30 a month; a freelancer usually charges $1,500 to $9,000 to build a small Framer site, and agencies charge about double.

Short answer: A Framer site has two costs. Hosting on Framer is listed at $10 a month on the Basic plan or $30 a month on Pro. Having a freelancer build it usually costs $1,500 to $3,500 for a template-based site of 5 to 10 pages and $3,500 to $9,000 for a custom site of 10 to 20 pages, and agencies typically charge about twice that.

Key facts

  • Framer's Basic plan is $10 a month, with 30 pages, 2 CMS collections, 1,000 CMS items and 50 GB of bandwidth.
  • The Pro plan is $30 a month, with 150 pages, 10 CMS collections, 2,500 CMS items and 100 GB of bandwidth.
  • A template-based Framer site of 5 to 10 pages costs $1,500 to $3,500 from a solo designer, and $3,500 to $7,000 from an agency.
  • Framer freelancers usually charge $40 to $80 an hour; agencies charge about $75 to $150.
  • Paid templates on Framer's marketplace mostly cost $69 to $99, and many are free.
  • On YunoJuno, front-end contractors average £466 a day, or $77 an hour.

What does Framer charge each month?

Framer charges per site, in US dollars. Prices are monthly and billed according to the cycle you pick at checkout. Most small businesses need one of two paid plans:

Plan Price a month Best for Main limits
Free $0 Trying Framer, personal projects Framer subdomain, 1 GB bandwidth
Basic $10 A small business site, even with a short blog 30 pages, 1,000 CMS items, 50 GB bandwidth
Pro $30 A growing site with case studies, several blogs or a team 150 pages, 2,500 CMS items, 100 GB bandwidth

Framer says "The Basic plan caters to students, freelancers, and small studios." Unlike some builders, Basic already includes a CMS, so a small blog doesn't force you onto Pro. Extra editors cost $20 each a month, and extra languages cost $20 per locale.

What does it cost to have it built?

Most of the money goes on design and build time, not the plan. What you pay depends on who builds it and how much is custom:

Type of site Solo Framer designer Framer agency Typical timeline
Template-based, 5 to 10 pages $1,500 to $3,500 $3,500 to $7,000 1 to 3 weeks
Custom marketing site, 10 to 20 pages $3,500 to $9,000 $9,000 to $18,000 3 to 6 weeks
Animation-heavy product site $6,000 to $14,000 $14,000 to $28,000 4 to 8 weeks

Bigger studios cost more again. BRIX Templates puts a 1 to 10 page site from a top agency at $12,600 to $31,500. On Framer's own Experts directory, starting budgets run from about $1,000 to $20,000.

Where the builder lives matters too. Design Monks quotes projects at $5,000 to $20,000+ in the USA and Canada, $3,500 to $15,000 in Europe and $1,800 to $7,000 in Asia.

A worked example: a six-page physio clinic site with a blog

Here's a realistic first-year budget. The build hours are our estimate for a site adapted from a paid template, with the owner supplying the words and photos.

Item Cost
Framer Basic (blog fits within 1,000 CMS items), 12 months at $10 $120
Paid template from Framer's marketplace about $79
Build: about 30 hours from a freelancer at $60 an hour $1,800
Or the same build from a UK contractor: 4 days at about £466 £1,864
Domain name Free with a yearly plan, otherwise set by your registrar

So a simple, professional Framer site lands at roughly $2,000 in the first year, and about $120 a year after that, unless you pay for changes. Choosing Pro instead adds $240 a year.

What makes the price go up?

To get quotes you can compare, write one short brief: what the site is for, the pages you need, two or three sites you like, and your deadline. Send the same brief to everyone.

Questions

Is Framer cheaper than Webflow?

On hosting, it is usually a little cheaper. Framer's Basic site plan is listed at $10 a month and Pro at $30 a month, and Basic already includes a small CMS. Build costs are similar for both, because most of the money goes on design and setup time. Framer is often quicker for design-led sites with lots of animation, which can trim the bill.

Can I build a Framer site myself for free?

You can design and publish on the Free plan, which Framer says is ideal for non-commercial use. It gives you a Framer subdomain and 1 GB of bandwidth, but no custom domain. For a business site you will want at least Basic, which adds a custom domain, 30 pages and 50 GB of bandwidth. Many owners start from a free or paid template.

Do I pay extra for people who edit the site?

Sometimes. On Basic and Pro, the workspace owner and viewers are free. Each extra editor with full access costs $20 a month, and a content editor who only updates text and CMS items costs $10 a month. If one person in your business makes all the changes, you may not need any paid seats at all.

What does it cost to add more languages to a Framer site?

Framer charges for locales as an add-on on Basic and Pro, at $20 per locale a month, up to 20 locales. On top of that comes the translation itself and the build work. Project Cost Estimator puts a multi-language Framer site at $8,000 to $18,000 from a solo designer, so plan for it early rather than bolting it on later.

How do I find a Framer freelancer?

Framer runs an Experts directory of freelancers and agencies, each showing a starting budget, which ranges from about $1,000 to $20,000 or more. General marketplaces such as Upwork and Contra also list Framer designers. Whichever you use, send each person the same short brief so the quotes you get back can be compared fairly.
