Sunloft or Framer?
Framer if you’re a designer who wants a canvas and fine control. Sunloft if you’d rather say what you want, or the site has to be code your team owns.

Make your siteWhich one to choose
Choose Framer if…
- You’re a designer, and the canvas is where you think.
- You want pixel control, motion and interactions.
- You’re happy for the site to live in Framer.
- You want a big library of community templates.
Choose Sunloft if…
- You’d rather say what you want than lay it out.
- Your site needs to be real code you can take anywhere.
- Several people edit, and you don’t want to pay for each one.
- You want approvals without an Enterprise contract.
The differences that matter.
What the site is made of, what each extra editor costs, and who can sign off a change.
Real code you own.
A Framer site is a Framer project, and Framer describes it that way itself. Every Sunloft site is a real project with files you can open, and you can download it on any plan.

- Start can write a fresh site from a description of your business.
- If your developer rebuilds the site in code, Pro can work on that repo.
Before you switch.
Can Sunloft match Framer’s design control?
Not on a canvas. You can change layout, sections and styles by asking, but if you want to place every pixel yourself, Framer is built for that.
Can I bring my Framer site?
Not yet. Describe your business and Start writes a new site, or connect a coded rebuild to Pro.
Is Sunloft cheaper than Framer?
For one person, about the same: Start is $12 a month and Framer Basic is $10. For a team, Pro’s unlimited editors usually cost less than Framer’s per-editor seats.
