Comparison · Framer
Looking at Framer? Read this first.
Framer is an excellent website tool, built for designers and startups who want pixel-level control. A service business has a different job to do, and Framer leaves out almost everything past the website itself.
Built for designers
Framer's value is an open design canvas. A service-business owner who isn't a designer has to learn it, or hire someone who has.
Website only, no business tools
Framer has no booking, no CRM, no invoicing, and no quotes. Anything past the site is a third-party embed with its own login and bill.
Nothing for field work
There is no recurring-visit model, no route optimization, no dedicated business phone, and no app for a crew running jobs.

What you get on Meep
What you get on Meep
Framer designs the site. This is the business behind it.
No design skill needed
Pick a template built for your trade, add your details, and the site is ready. No open canvas to learn.
The site is the smallest part
Booking, a calendar, customer records, quotes, and invoices come with it. The things a business actually runs on.
Built for service work
Recurring visits, routes, and a dedicated business phone, none of which Framer touches.
One product, one login
Everything is in Meep, not a Framer site plus a booking embed plus a CRM plus an invoicing tool.
Priced for an operator
$29/mo for the site and the business behind it, or $99 one-time for a Meep Lite site.
Pricing transparency
What you'd actually pay
Meep's Starter is $29/mo yearly with the site, booking, invoicing, and a business phone in one bill. Framer prices the website on its own; the rest is up to you to assemble.

Frequently asked
When is Framer the better choice? +
When you're a designer or agency that wants total creative control of a brand site, or you're building a startup landing page with heavy animation. Framer is the stronger tool for that.
Can't I just embed a booking tool in Framer? +
You can embed Cal.com or Calendly, but that's a separate product, login, and subscription, and it doesn't connect to a customer record or an invoice. Meep keeps booking, the calendar, and billing in one place.
Does Framer have a free plan? +
Yes, on a Framer subdomain with a Framer badge. Meep doesn't have a free tier, but Meep Lite is a one-time $99 for a real site, and Starter has a 14-day trial.
Is Meep's site as polished as a Framer site? +
A skilled designer can do more in Framer. Meep gives a non-designer a clean, trade-specific site fast, and ties it to the booking and invoicing that run the business.
