The cheapest per site in this category. The editor seats are where it adds up on a team.
Framer came from the design tool side of the world rather than the website side, and it still shows. If you already think in frames and components, publishing straight from the thing you designed in removes a whole translation step.
That makes it attractive for a particular reader. A designer whose client work is mostly marketing sites, where the look is the product and the content does not change much.
It is less obviously the answer when a site needs years of growing content, many editors, or anything a client will be adding to weekly. Those jobs want a content system first and a design tool second.
On ownership it sits where the rest of this category sits. Framer hosts what you publish. Your design file is yours, the live site is theirs to serve, and stopping the subscription stops the site.
