The open sourceFramer alternative.
Framer and Revyme solve the same problem: designing production websites visually, without handing the work to a developer. The difference is what you own at the end — Framer hosts your site inside its platform, while Revyme turns your design into a real Next.js codebase that is yours to keep.
When Framer is the better pick
Choose Framer if you want fully managed hosting with zero setup, the most mature template and plugin marketplace in the space, and you are comfortable with your site living inside a subscription.
When Revyme is the better pick
Choose Revyme if you want the same visual, pixel-perfect workflow but insist on owning the result: an open-source builder, real Next.js code, self-hosting, and no lock-in.
What happens to your site when you stop paying?
Framer is explicit about this: exporting your site as code is not supported. Third-party workarounds exist — plugins that emit machine-generated component bundles, crawlers that snapshot static HTML — but there is no supported path to a codebase you can open, read, and maintain. Your site runs on Framer, and only on Framer.
Revyme is the inverse. The canvas is editing a real Next.js project the entire time you design — semantic markup, real React components, CMS collections as data. Export it whenever you like, put it in your own Git repo, deploy it to your own infrastructure. If Revyme disappeared tomorrow, your site would not.

What it costs, structurally.
Framer
Framer is a per-site subscription: every published site carries its own monthly plan for as long as it exists. For a freelancer or agency with a portfolio of client sites, that multiplies — and there is no exit, because the site cannot leave the platform.
Revyme
The Revyme builder is free and open source. Publishing through Revyme cloud is an optional per-site plan (Free, Lite, Pro, Studio) — and because the code exports, you can always take a site out and host it yourself for the cost of your own infrastructure. See pricing.
Moving from Framer.
There is no direct Framer importer — Framer sites cannot be exported, which is rather the point of this page.
If your design started in Figma, import it into Revyme with the Figma plugin and you are most of the way there.
Otherwise, rebuild section by section on the canvas — the workflow (frames, breakpoints, variants, scroll effects) will feel immediately familiar, and templates cover the common layouts.
Frequently asked.
Can you export code from Framer?
Not officially — Framer states that exporting your site as code is not supported. Third-party plugins can emit machine-generated component bundles or static HTML snapshots, but neither is a maintainable codebase. Revyme exports a real, editable Next.js project.
Is Framer open source?
No. Framer is a closed, hosted platform. Revyme is open source — the builder code is public on GitHub and free to run.
Is there a free open-source Framer alternative?
Revyme. The builder is free and open source, with the same visual workflow: infinite canvas, breakpoints, variants, animations, and a CMS — plus code export that Framer does not offer.
Can Framer websites be self-hosted?
No — Framer sites only run on Framer hosting. Revyme sites can be published to Revyme cloud or exported as Next.js code and hosted anywhere.
