What Sketchry does not do
- There is no visual editor. Changing the layout means going through the AI
- No CMS, no built-in analytics, no A/B testing. You add those yourself
- Hosting, the domain and bandwidth are your problem
- You need to be using an AI coding tool already
Where Framer is limited
- The site stays on the plan: pages, CMS items and bandwidth all have ceilings and cost more past them
- The template is a separate purchase from the subscription
- Every extra editor adds $20 a month
Who should pick which
- Pick Framer if you want to move things with a mouse and never think about hosting or domains.
- Pick Sketchry if you want the files, your own hosting, no monthly platform fee, and you already use an AI tool.
Using both, or switching
- They split well: keep the main site in Framer, and build a campaign or one-off page with Sketchry onto any static host.
- Leaving Framer means rebuilding the layout once: a Sketchry result is ordinary web files, so no export tool is involved.
