Who should choose Solo
You are a solopreneur or small business owner without design skills who wants a professional-looking site generated from a prompt. You have a short content footprint -- a few service pages, a blog, and a contact form -- and want to be live quickly. You care about having a custom domain on the free plan and are comfortable with a simpler, section-based editor.
Who should choose Framer
You are a designer, marketer, or front-end developer who wants pixel-level layout control, advanced animations, and a CMS for dynamic marketing content. Framer's Basic plan starts at just $10/mo (annual billing), making it accessible even for freelancers. If your site needs to impress clients or showcase visual work, Framer's output quality is difficult to match.
