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.

Same

Same · launched 2025

Free plan
500,000 tokens a month; downloading the code and premium models need a paid plan.
Paid plans
Basic is $10/mo billed monthly for 2M tokens a month, a premium model and project downloads.

Known for

  • Rebuilds an interface from a live URL, screenshots or mockups.
  • A full workbench: code editor, terminal and checkpoints you can roll back to.
  • Deploys to Netlify and pushes code to GitHub.

What it does well

  • Reviewers rate it highly for recreating an existing site's interface.
  • Builds full-stack Next.js projects with database and auth integrations.
  • Direct code and terminal access, plus GitHub export.

Where it falls short

  • New projects are public by default.
  • Unused tokens expire each cycle, and chat-driven bug fixing can use up the free allowance in one session.
  • Users report lost projects, repeated errors and slow support.

Why designers pick Orlume over both

  1. 01

  2. 02
