Framer Upgrades Basic Plan with 5x Bandwidth and Introduces New Content Editor Tier.

Framer quietly rolled out a series of pricing changes last month designed to give Basic plan users more room to grow and introduce a new, lower-cost editor role for content teams.

The updates, announced on LinkedIn, mark a shift in how the website builder positions its entry-level tier and collaboration features. Basic plan subscribers now get 50GB of monthly bandwidth, up from 10GB, a 5x increase that should accommodate higher traffic without forcing an upgrade. The plan also now includes 2 CMS collections instead of 1, giving users more flexibility to structure dynamic content.

Framer also introduced a Content Editor seat at $10 per month, sitting below the standard Editor role now priced at $20 per month across all plans. Content Editors have access to three specific capabilities: CMS management, localization tools, and on-page editing. The tier is designed for team members who need to update copy, manage translations, or work with structured content but don't require full design permissions.

The distinction matters for teams where content responsibilities are split from design work. A marketing coordinator managing blog posts or a translator handling localized versions of a site can now contribute without needing a full Editor seat. For agencies or growing teams managing client sites, the pricing structure offers a clearer way to scale collaboration without inflating costs.

Framer has been aggressive with product updates in recent months, including launching the Fable 5 AI model and upgrading to Sonnet 5 with improved accuracy and lower credit usage. The pricing adjustments suggest the company is focused not just on AI-powered design features but also on making the platform more accessible to small teams and solo builders who need room to scale without jumping to enterprise pricing.

The Basic plan changes take effect immediately for new and existing subscribers. Framer has not disclosed whether the updates were driven by competitive pressure from tools like Webflow or Wix, but the timing aligns with broader industry shifts toward more generous entry-level tiers as no-code platforms compete for market share among freelancers and small studios.

For teams already on Framer, the bandwidth increase alone could delay or eliminate the need to upgrade. For new users evaluating the platform, the expanded Basic plan and tiered editor pricing make it easier to test the platform with real traffic and bring collaborators in without committing to higher-tier plans upfront.
