Framer shipped a series of pricing changes in May 2026. Tier prices did not move. Free is still free. Basic is still $10. Pro is still $30. Scale is still $100. Almost everything else got better. Here is the full diff.
Key Takeaways
Basic plan bandwidth went from 10GB to 50GB, a 5x increase at the same $10/mo price
Editor seats now cost $20/mo on all plans, down from $40/mo on Pro and Scale
New Content Editor role at $10/mo gives writers, marketers, and editors limited CMS access without full editor permissions
Tier prices ($10, $30, $100) are unchanged. This is not a price increase.
Existing customers are grandfathered on their previous plans, no action needed

The Agency Math: A 36% Cost Drop
This is the change that actually moves the needle for studios and freelancers running multi-editor projects.
Here is what a three-editor agency on the Pro plan was paying before May 27:
Pro base plan: $30/mo
2 additional editor seats at $40/mo each: $80/mo
Total: $110/mo
Here is what that same setup costs now:
Pro base plan: $30/mo
2 additional editor seats at $20/mo each: $40/mo
Total: $70/mo
That is a $40/month drop. 36% less for the exact same access.
If you are running five editors on Pro, the math is even sharper. Four additional seats at the old rate cost $160/mo. At the new rate, they cost $80/mo. The base plan stays at $30. Old total: $190. New total: $110.
This is not a small tweak to a footnote line. For any Framer studio billing against a client retainer, that $40 or $80/month has real margin impact over a year.

The Basic Plan Upgrade: Killing the Objection That Kept People at $10
The bandwidth jump on Basic from 10GB to 50GB is more significant than the number suggests.
If you have spent any time in r/framer or the Framer Community forum, you have seen this complaint before: the $10 Basic plan is too tight for anything real. 10GB bandwidth runs out fast on image-heavy sites or any site with actual traffic. People would start on Basic, hit the cap, and either upgrade to Pro (adding $20/mo) or start looking at Webflow.
That objection is now substantially weaker. 50GB is enough headroom for most small-to-medium sites. A photography portfolio with optimized WebP images, a landing page with a few full-width hero shots, a small agency site with a CMS blog. These are all Basic plan use cases that were previously risky. The 5x bandwidth increase lands exactly where the friction was.
CMS collections also go from 1 to 2 on Basic. This is a smaller but real change. A single collection meant a blog, or a projects index, or a team page, not two of those things. Two collections unlocks the kind of simple CMS setup most small sites actually need.
For a solo freelancer or a business that just needs a clean site without a team to collaborate with, Basic at $10 is now a serious option, not a stripped entry point.
The New Content Editor Role: Right Access for the Right Person
The second thing Framer confirmed on May 27 is a new role tier: the Content Editor.
At $10/mo, a Content Editor gets access to CMS editing, Localization, and On-Page Editing. What they don't get is the full design editor: they cannot change layouts, move elements, or break the site structure.
The job this solves is obvious once you think about it. A marketing manager who needs to update blog posts does not need canvas access. A copywriter who needs to swap out hero text should not be able to accidentally delete a component. A client who needs to edit their own CMS content wants a simplified interface, not Framer's full design surface.
Before this role existed, the choices were: give them a full editor seat at $20 to $40/mo and accept the risk, or manage every content update yourself. Now there is a third option. A content team member who only touches words and CMS fields costs $10/mo instead of $20/mo.
For agencies managing client sites, this is particularly useful. The client gets limited access to update their own content. The studio retains control over the design layer. No awkward "please don't touch the hero section" conversations.
What This Means If You're Evaluating Framer Right Now
The tier prices did not change. If you were holding off on Framer because the $10 plan felt too constrained or because adding editors on Pro felt like it doubled the real cost, both of those specific friction points just improved materially.
The agency cost reduction is significant enough to revisit the math on any Pro-or-above setup. The Basic bandwidth upgrade removes the most common reason people bumped up to Pro before they needed to. The Content Editor role means teams can give the right access to the right people without paying for permissions nobody needs.
Framer's pricing architecture is not getting simpler, and the full breakdown of what each plan actually costs you (domain, editors, add-ons) still requires some calculation. But the direction of this update is unambiguous: more value, same prices.
If you are an agency that just got priced back into Framer's range, our agency Framer templates are built for exactly that use case: production-ready, client-presentable, and fast to launch.
