How much does a Framer website cost per year in 2026?

The Basic site plan is $10 a month, $120 a year, roughly £94 at the rate we recorded, with a 50GB bandwidth cap. Pro is $30 a month, $360 a year, roughly £280, with 100GB. The free plan costs nothing but keeps you on a Framer web address. Figures from Framer's own pricing page, read on 24 August 2026, all in US dollars; the page does not mention VAT.

Is the Framer free plan actually free?

It costs nothing, and it is a real site, but you stay on a Framer address rather than your own domain and you get 1GB of bandwidth a month, which a site with decent photographs can use up quickly. To put your own name over the door you need a paid plan, from $10 a month.

What happens if a Framer site goes over its bandwidth limit?

Framer's plans are priced by bandwidth: 1GB on Free, 50GB on Basic, 100GB on Pro, read from the pricing page on 24 August 2026. The page sells the caps as plan features rather than explaining what happens the month you get busy, so ask before you commit: a site that takes off can need the next plan up. Bernard has no bandwidth tiers - a busy month costs the same as a quiet one.

Is Bernard cheaper than Framer?

No, and it is a different job. Framer Basic at roughly £94 a year is for building a site yourself in a design tool you drive. Bernard is £200 a year: he moves your existing site in free, hosts it fast with no bandwidth tiers, rebuilds it so people and the search and AI tools that read the web can make sense of it, and you edit it afterwards by asking the AI you already use. If you enjoy driving the design tool, Framer is good value. Bernard is for having it done, and looked after.

Framer 2026 pricing, explained - what a Framer site really costs

Framer is the designer's one. It came out of a design tool, it feels like a design tool, and the sites it makes can be genuinely beautiful. Its pricing has a designer's tidiness too: a free plan, a $10 plan, a $30 plan. The complication is not the numbers, it is the meter running behind them, because Framer prices by bandwidth, and bandwidth is the one thing on the bill you do not control.

Here is the whole bill, set out the way Bernard sets out a quote. Every line, and no surprises at the van.

What Framer charges in 2026

Read on its own pricing page on 24 August 2026:

Plan	The month	The year's bill	Bandwidth	Your own address?
Free	$0	$0	1GB	no - a Framer address
Basic	$10	$120	50GB	yes
Pro	$30	$360	100GB	yes

At the rate we recorded in late July 2026, Basic's year is roughly £94 and Pro's roughly £280. Roughly, because the prices are in dollars, no pound price is published, and the page does not mention VAT, so what leaves a UK account depends on the rate and the card. An Enterprise tier on top is priced by conversation, and extra editors are $20 a month each.

The meter is the plan

The three plans are really three sizes of the same pipe: 1GB, 50GB, 100GB a month. That is the number doing the pricing, and it is worth understanding because it is the one you cannot budget.

Bandwidth is spent by your visitors, not by you. A quiet portfolio on Basic will never notice the cap. But the good month, the press mention, the post that travels, spends it fast, and photography-heavy pages spend it fastest. The page presents the caps as features of each plan; what it does not dwell on is that the remedy for success is the next plan up. Before you commit, ask Framer what happens in the month you go over.

So what does a Framer site really cost?

The yearly bill	Framer Free	Framer Basic	Bernard
The plan, paid yearly	$0	$120 (about £94)	£200
Bandwidth	1GB a month	50GB a month	no bandwidth tiers
Your own address	no	yes	yes
Currency	-	US dollars	pounds, fixed

What the price is really for

On price alone, Framer Basic wins, and this page will not pretend otherwise. Roughly £94 against Bernard's £200 is a real difference, and if you enjoy building your own site in a first-class design tool, Framer is honest value.

Bernard's £200 is for a different customer: the one who wants it done. He moves your existing site in free, even one on a builder's free plan, and rebuilds it in its new home so it loads fast and reads clearly to people and to the search and AI tools that now read the web. There are no bandwidth tiers, so the month your work gets noticed costs the same as the month it does not. And afterwards you edit the site by asking the AI you already use, in plain English, with every change waiting for your approval before it goes live. £200 is the whole price, in pounds, with nothing added at the checkout.

Paste your current address and Bernard will measure up, free, and show you the new place before you decide anything.
