Common questions

Something else? Contact the team.

Is Manifest cheaper than Framer?

For most sites, yes. Manifest's free plan has no time limit: build in Claude and publish on your own domain for $0, month after month, with staging included. On Framer, a custom domain needs a paid plan. If you only want the badge off, Framer's Basic plan is cheaper at $10 a month against Manifest Pro's $15, but staging there starts at $30, and each extra editor is $20 a month.

Does Manifest use credits?

No. Building happens in your Claude chats.

Does Manifest have a visual editor like Framer?

Claude is the designer. Describe the change, and see it in a live preview, then publish. If you love arranging every element by hand on a canvas, Framer is built for that.

Can I move a Framer site to Manifest?

Yes. Give Claude your Framer site's address and ask for a copy in a new Manifest project. It's rebuilt as yours, ready to edit and publish.

Can I use my own domain for free?

Yes, on Manifest's free plan, with the certificate handled for you. Framer connects custom domains on paid plans.

Do I need Claude?

Yes. Manifest works through Claude, so one subscription covers building. Claude's free plan works too.
