Pricing

Attribute	Framer	Glide
Plans	Free Free Learning the tool and building a draft.	Free $0 Building and testing before you roll it out.
	BasicOur pick $10/mo A small business or portfolio site on your own domain.	Basic $25/mo One or two simple team apps.
	Pro $30/mo Growing sites with a real blog and more traffic.	PlusOur pick $50/mo Small businesses running several apps.
	Enterprise Custom Large companies and multi-site teams.	Pro $125/mo Growing teams with many apps.
		Enterprise Custom Larger companies with strict controls.
Which plan to pick	Basic is enough for most small business sites, and the free custom domain on a yearly plan makes it good value. Move to Pro when you pass 30 pages or want more than two CMS collections. Budget for extra editor seats at $20 a month if more than one person will design.	Build on Free until the app does what you need. Basic works for one or two simple apps, but Plus is the better fit for most small businesses because it allows public apps and more workflows. Pro only makes sense once you need unlimited apps or MCP building.
