I was working on a client's site today, and went past the 10 CMS limit.
Framer then tells me that I cannot even publish the site to preview it, now that I have gone past it.
My only options are to either:
  1. Ask the client to front $1200 for an entire year (because there is no monthly option for that plan), before the website is even ready and tested. Which I am not going to do, regardless of whether they'd pay it.
  2. Find a way to cut back to just 10 CMS collections (which I will have to).
I am genuinely starting to feel serious regret about choosing Framer as a platform and major doubt around what I've signed this client up for. If you cannot see the problem with this, then you must be totally out of touch with reality.
I feel like I have been taken hostage.
Myself and many other professionals have no issue with paying for a good tool that helps us provide value to our clients, but it is becoming incredibly difficult to find any confidence in recommending it as a solution when you have other platforms out there offering far more for way less.
I want to use Framer. There is a lot I like about it. But I am concerned about the longevity of a platform with a business model that makes little to no sense, and being at the mercy of poor decision making and pricing plans that could change on a whim for the worse.
