Framer clarifies "AI credits" naming for Free trial and lower Basic tiers
What happened
Between the Aug 24, 2026 and Aug 27, 2026 captures of Framer's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Credit terminology clarified to 'AI credits' for the Free trial (500) and lower Basic add-on tiers (1,000-10,000); Pro plan's main-card credit amount and top Basic tier (15,000) unchanged. Pulse files it as a product change (positioning) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 5, 2026) lists Basic at $10 and Pro at $30.
It lands 23 days after Framer's previous change, "Framer: Free plan credits shift from monthly recurring to one-time trial" (Aug 3, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Framer cuts free plan AI credits to 500/month, down from 1,000" (Jul 27, 2026), "Framer drops bandwidth cap on Enterprise plan, shifts to custom pricing" (Jun 30, 2026) and "Framer: Basic plan bandwidth increased 10GB to 50GB" (Jul 3, 2026). Framer has been tracked since 2026-03-19.
