Disclaimer: been using framer for 10-12 months. Have made ~10 client sites or so. And a few more of my own.

Spent a lot of time with framer and love the general premise and workflow.

But DAMN - they have some of the worst pricing and execution around. Almost anti-consumer.

I have a website with a lot of content (100,000 words or so) and they want to charge $1200+month to get the translation word cap unlimited. Otherwise you’re stuck with 5,000(free) or 50,000($40/mo - no you can’t stack them)

Combine that with the visitor limitations. Lack of CMS export capabilities. And more interest in flashy features (okay, 3D is really cool) but not expanding the core functionality (CMS) or revising pricing policies…. I really don’t know if Framer is a sound option to invest in as a business.

Been wanting to vent for a while. May make a YouTube video too. I’m a framer partner as well - but fuck this. It’s not right.
