Framer AI vs Relume

Short answer: choose Framer AI for designers who want to place every element by hand and are happy to stay on Framer's hosting. Choose Relume for designers and agencies who want a fast sitemap and wireframes to refine in Figma or Webflow. If what you need is a website that looks professionally designed, neither is built for that: Orlume is.

Framer AI and Relume, reviewed honestly

Framer AI

Framer · Amsterdam

Free plan
Publishes to a Framer subdomain with 1GB bandwidth and 500 AI credits to try Agents; no custom domain.
Paid plans
Basic is $10/mo per site on yearly billing, adding a custom domain, 30 pages, 2 CMS collections and 1,000 AI credits.

Known for

  • Agents: AI inside the canvas that designs pages, builds components and connects the CMS.
  • Branching: edits by people or agents stay off the live site until merged.
  • Localization: AI translation as an add-on, priced per locale.

What it does well

  • AI works inside a full visual design canvas, so every generated page stays editable by hand.
  • Hosting, CMS and a custom domain come with the cheapest paid plan.
  • Its animation and interaction tools are among the best of any site builder.

Where it falls short

  • Community posts report agent credits running out fast, with failed outputs still charged.
  • Plans are billed per site and extra editors cost more, so costs grow with every site.
  • There is no code export: sites live on Framer's hosting.

Prices checked October 2026 on Framer AI's pricing page. Plans change often; check there before you buy.

Relume

Relume · Australia, founded 2021

Free plan
Free forever with limited AI use, unlimited projects and hosting on a relume.live subdomain capped at 1,500 views a month.
Paid plans
Pro for the AI builder starts at $14/mo, likely on yearly billing; export plans start at $18/mo and hosting is extra.

Known for

  • Turns a brief into an editable sitemap and wireframes from its component library.
  • Exports to Figma, Webflow or React with Tailwind and shadcn/ui.
  • Relume Publish: its own hosting with a custom domain, in beta.

What it does well

  • The sitemap step lets you shape every page before any design work starts.
  • A library of 1,000+ components exports as real Figma, Webflow and React components.
  • The free plan is permanent, not a trial.

Where it falls short

  • Reviewers describe the output as a structural starting point that still needs real design work.
  • Builder, export and hosting are priced separately, so the total is hard to read.
  • Pages come out component-driven and generic until a designer restyles them.

The third option

Why designers pick Orlume over both

  1. 01

    Orlume does the design work for you from a prompt, so you do not need design skills or hours on a canvas.

  2. 02

    Relume stops at wireframes; Orlume goes from one prompt to a finished, styled site.

  3. 03

    Dream Mode builds an animated, custom bento grid with real hierarchy and an embedded product video in one click.
