Framer vs Figma pricing
Framer and Figma overlap on design and prototyping but are priced differently: Framer by site plus seats, Figma by seat. This page compares them using StackScope's design tools report, last verified October 2026.
For a single editor Framer is cheaper: Basic is $10 per month on annual billing ($15 billed monthly) with the first editor included, against $16 per month ($20 monthly) for a Figma Professional Full seat. With a team the order reverses. Additional Framer Full Editors are $20 per month each, which by StackScope's arithmetic comes to $90 per month for 5 editors and $390 for 20 on annual billing, against Figma's $80 and $320. Both have ongoing free plans: Framer's allows up to 3 editors but lacks a custom domain and production publishing, and Figma's includes 3 team files and unlimited free Viewers.

| Framer | Yes — ongoingUp to 3 editors on a workspace with no active subscription. 10 CMS collections, 1,000 pages, 5MB uploads, 1 free locale, 1GB bandwidth. Missing: custom domain, production publishing | 30 pages, 2 CMS collections, 1,000 CMS items, 50GB bandwidth on Basic.Framer prompts an upgrade at most limits; bandwidth can run over for one month before upgrade pressure kicks in | $10/mo annualBasic · $15/mo billed monthly. First editor included in the base site fee | $90/mo annual[DERIVED — VENDOR] Basic · $95/mo monthly. First editor is included free; each additional Full Editor is $20/mo: $10 + 4 × $20 = $90 (annual), $15 + 4 × $20 = $95 (monthly). Not a headline price Framer states directly — this report's arithmetic from Framer's own pricing rules | $390/mo annual[DERIVED — VENDOR] Basic · $395/mo monthly: $10 + 19 × $20 = $390 (annual), $15 + 19 × $20 = $395 (monthly) | PRAISE: a fast design-to-live-site workflow and an intuitive interface. CATCH: site + seat + usage pricing — the $10 headline price doesn't represent full multi-editor team cost, since additional Full Editors run $20/month each (content editors run $10/month) on top of the base site fee. AI: Free gets a one-time 500-credit allowance; Basic includes 1,000 credits/month, Pro 3,000/month — credits reset monthly and don't roll over. Current vendor material doesn't expose a reliable dollar price for the add-on top-up. |
| Figma | Yes — ongoing[VENDOR] Editor cap not cleanly specified; unlimited free Viewers. 3 team files; unlimited personal drafts; 30-day version history; 500 AI credits/month. Missing: unlimited team files, advanced collaboration/admin | Unlimited files and folders on Professional.No paid-tier file cap identified | $16/mo annual[VENDOR] Professional Full seat · $20/mo billed monthly | $80/mo annual[DERIVED — VENDOR] Professional Full seat · $100/mo billed monthly | $320/mo annual[DERIVED — VENDOR] Professional Full seat · $400/mo billed monthly | PRAISE: real-time collaboration — simultaneous editing and cloud-based teamwork are the most repeated theme. CATCH: seat-role complexity — Full, Dev, Collab, and View seats have materially different capabilities and prices ($3–$90 depending on plan and role); collaborators who need actual design editing require a pricier Full seat, and upgrading someone's access silently upgrades their cost. AI: AI credits now vary by plan — Starter 500/month, Professional 3,000/month per Full seat, Organization 3,500, Enterprise 4,250; Figma changed these add-on package quantities on August 25, 2026 while keeping published add-on prices unchanged ($150 pay-as-you-go or $120 subscription per 5,000 credits, scaling to $300/$240 per 10,000). |
