The short answer

Pick Framer for fast, animated marketing sites and landing pages, especially if your team already designs in Figma-style tools. Pick Webflow for larger sites with a lot of structured CMS content and precise layout control.

Framer is cheaper to start: Basic is $10/mo and Pro $30/mo. Webflow is $15/mo (Basic) or $25/mo (Premium) on annual billing, plus seats for editors.

If you are not a designer, We.Inc builds the site from a description instead. Free for 3 template sites; AI from $20/mo.
