Framer AI
The AI agent genuinely edits a live, publishable site instead of spitting out a mockup — rare in this category — but there's no open MCP, no code export, and the $10 headline creeps fast once seats and credit tiers stack up.
| Free | $0 | 500 agent credits to try, 1 GB bandwidth |
| Basic | $10/mo | 1,000+ agent credits/mo, 2 CMS collections, custom domain, 50 GB bandwidth |
| Pro | $30/mo | 3,000+ agent credits/mo, 10 CMS collections, staging, Branching with previews |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom credit volume, unlimited editors, SSO, SCIM, uptime guarantee |
Additional editor seats +$20/mo each; Content Editor (CMS-only) seats +$10/mo each. Agent credits are also sold as add-on tiers within Basic/Pro (up to 15,000/mo on Basic, 100,000/mo on Pro), so the effective monthly price is often well above the $10/$30 headline.

Strengths
Genuine multi-frontier model access (Anthropic and OpenAI) through a transparent picker with published efficiency work; the agent operates natively inside a real design canvas with CMS and component context rather than producing throwaway mockups; a real publish gate (Branching, canvas-only edits) keeps AI changes reviewable before they go live; and the External Agents bridge lets Claude Code, Cursor and Codex work inside a live project without exporting.
Honest dings
No open MCP server — Framer built a proprietary bridge instead and says so explicitly; native image and video generation is outsourced to third-party marketplace plugins rather than shipped; and independent reviews (Trustpilot, G2-sourced roundups) show a consistent pattern of slow, bot-first support plus pricing that escalates fast once editor seats, localization and agent-credit tiers stack up.
