Framer AI vs Rocket

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 Rocket for founders who want a working web or mobile app, with screens and logic, from one prompt. If what you need is a website that looks professionally designed, neither is built for that: Orlume is.

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.

  • Every plan includes unlimited team members.

Where it falls short

  • Users report fixes burning large amounts of usage on builds that still were not ready.
  • Reviewers describe failed builds and slow support on some tickets.
  • Credits are shared with research and competitor tracking, not only building.
