Framer Pricing 2026: The Hidden Seat Fee

Framer pricing in 2026 is $0 Free, $10/month Basic, $30/month Pro, and $100/month Scale on annual billing (Enterprise is custom). The catch is two separate meters: those prices are per published site, and every editor also costs a $20/month workspace seat on top. So a $10 Basic site with two editors really costs $10 plus $40 in seats.

Framer is a design-first website builder with AI generation baked in, popular for launching polished marketing sites fast. After an October 2025 pricing overhaul, its structure splits into two parts that are easy to conflate — and the second part is where budgets get blown. Here is how every plan works, based on Framer's pricing page and independent breakdowns as of July 2026.

How much does Framer cost in 2026?

Framer costs $0 on Free, $10/month on Basic, $30/month on Pro, and $100/month on Scale, all billed annually (monthly billing is higher — Basic $15, Pro $45). Enterprise is custom. Those figures are site plan prices, charged per published site. On top of any paid site, each person who edits needs a workspace seat, now $20/month, with a cheaper $10/month Content Editor seat for marketers.

Plus $20/month per editor seat ($10 Content Editor). Prices and limits change often — verify on the official pricing page before deciding.

What is the hidden fee in Framer pricing?

The hidden fee in Framer pricing is the workspace editor seat. The advertised $10, $30, or $100 prices are per published site, but every person who edits that site also needs a seat, now $20/month each. So a solo builder on a $10 Basic site actually pays $10 plus $20 for their own seat — $30/month — and each extra editor adds another $20. The site plan alone is only half the bill.

Framer did soften this in the October 2025 overhaul: editor seats dropped from $40 to $20 on Pro and Scale, and a new $10/month Content Editor seat lets marketers update text without a full seat. Still, the two-meter structure surprises people who budget only for the site plan. To estimate your true cost, add your site plan to the seats every editor needs — not just the headline price.

How do Framer's site plans and seats work together?

Framer bills site plans and editor seats as two separate meters. A site plan (Free, Basic, Pro, Scale) attaches to a single published website and sets its domain, bandwidth, and features. A workspace seat attaches to a person and lets them edit inside the workspace. You need at least one site plan to publish and one seat per editor, so even a one-person, one-site setup pays both.

This separation matters most for agencies and teams. If you publish several client sites, each needs its own site plan, while your editors share workspace seats across them. A marketing team where several people only tweak copy can use the cheaper $10 Content Editor seats instead of full $20 seats. Mapping your sites and your editors separately is the only way to predict a Framer bill accurately.

Which Framer plan should you pick?

For most business sites, Framer Pro at $30/month per site (plus a $20 editor seat) is the right plan — it unlocks a real custom domain setup, 100 GB bandwidth, and the features a professional marketing site needs. Basic at $10 suits a very simple single site. Free is fine for testing or a personal page on a framer.website subdomain, but it lacks a custom domain.

Scale at $100 is only for genuinely high-traffic sites approaching the 200 GB tier; most small and medium sites never near even Pro's 100 GB cap. Budget realistically by adding your site plan to your seats: solo builders should assume roughly $50/month for a Pro site with one seat. Teams should count full $20 seats for designers and cheaper $10 Content Editor seats for copy-only editors.

Framer pricing FAQ

Is Framer free in 2026?

Yes, Framer has a Free plan at $0 that lets you build and publish a site on a framer.website subdomain with basic features — good for testing the builder or a simple personal page. Free does not include a custom domain, and paid features and higher bandwidth require a site plan. For a professional site with your own domain, you need at least Basic, plus a workspace editor seat.

How much is Framer Pro?

Framer Pro is $30/month per site on annual billing ($45 month-to-month), and includes a custom domain, 100 GB bandwidth, and professional site features. Remember Pro is a per-site price: each editor also needs a $20/month workspace seat. So a solo Pro site with one editor is about $50/month total. Pro is the plan most business marketing sites land on.

What is the extra seat fee in Framer?

Framer charges a workspace editor seat separately from the site plan — $20/month per editor as of the October 2025 overhaul (down from $40), plus a cheaper $10/month Content Editor seat for people who only update text. The site plan covers one published website; each person who edits needs their own seat. This two-meter structure is why Framer costs more than its headline site-plan price suggests.

Does Framer include AI tools?

Yes, Framer includes AI features for generating and editing site layouts and content as part of the platform, across its plans. The AI helps you spin up pages and sections quickly, which is much of its appeal as a fast website builder. The AI does not change the pricing structure, though — you still pay per site plan plus per editor seat, so budget for both meters regardless of how much you use the AI tools.

Is Framer worth it for a small business?

Framer is worth it for a small business that wants a polished, design-led marketing site launched quickly without a developer. Pro at $30/month per site plus a $20 seat (about $50/month) covers a professional single site. The value is speed and design quality. Just budget for both meters — site plan and seats — and skip Scale unless your traffic genuinely approaches the higher bandwidth tier.

The bottom line on Framer pricing in 2026

Framer is a fast, design-first way to ship a marketing site, and Pro at $30/month per site is the plan most businesses should buy. The catch to remember is the two-meter structure: site plans are per published site, and every editor adds a $20/month seat on top, so a solo Pro site is really about $50/month. Add sites and seats separately to estimate your true bill, and verify current prices on Framer's official pricing page.
