What you pay
Framer: Basic $10/mo with 1,000 AI credits; Pro $30/mo — Us: Free to start, building plans from $10/mo; work billed at cost +20–30%
Looking for a Framer alternative
A thousand AI credits is a thousand of what?
Framer Basic is $10 a month and comes with 1,000 AI credits; Pro is $30. It is the same question the AI app builders raise — a credit is a currency with no published exchange rate, and the only way to learn the rate is to spend them.

Know the cost before you spend it
Framer: Credits, priced as you use them — Us: Quoted per turn in dollars, printed after

Where they are better
Framer is the best of these if you are designing, not describing.
As a design canvas that publishes a real site, Framer is excellent, and for somebody who thinks visually it will beat describing things in words. The argument here is only about the billing unit and about who owns the result — not about whether Framer is good at what it does.
The part that matters in year three
A subscription is rent on your own website.
A builder charges every month for as long as the site exists, and the site stops existing when you stop paying. Here you get a normal git repository from the first turn — host it anywhere, hand it to any developer, or keep it with us. Nothing about it is specific to us, which is the whole point and also the reason we have to keep earning it.
And if you want to know who is making these claims: a software company that has shipped for other businesses since 2005.

Questions
Asked, answered
What are Framer's AI credits worth?
Framer Basic includes 1,000 AI credits for $10 a month, as published on framer.com/pricing on 31 August 2026. Their page does not publish what one credit buys. Amelia's Agent prices each turn in dollars, with the model's rate under the composer, and prints what it actually cost on the answer.
Is there a Framer alternative that gives me the code?
Amelia's Agent hands you a normal git repository from the first turn. Framer's pricing page does not publish a code export.
Do I need design skills?
No. You describe what you want in plain English. Framer is a design canvas and rewards design skill; this is for somebody who would rather say what they want.
