-->

You are launching a SaaS product and need a marketing site live by next week. You do not have a designer on staff, you cannot afford a $5,000 Framer freelancer, and the developer time you would spend hand-coding a landing page would be better spent on the product itself. So you are looking for a free Framer template that ships a pricing page, a features section, a hero that converts, and a CMS-backed blog you can actually use to do content marketing. You also want to know which template will not lock you into the wrong Framer plan or look like every other AI startup site shipped this quarter.

This guide is that list. Eight free Framer templates verified working on the Marketplace in 2026, every entry naming what it ships, who it is best for, the Framer plan you will need to launch with a custom domain, and what each one breaks down on. No premium-disguised-as-free, no portfolio templates dressed up as SaaS, no agency landing pages padded into the list to hit ten.

A word on the 2026 Framer landscape before the list. Framer overhauled pricing in October 2025, killing the old Mini ($5), Startup ($75), and Scaleup ($200) tiers. The current structure is Free, Basic ($10/month annual), Pro ($30/month annual), Scale ($100/month annual), and Enterprise. Free plans cannot use a custom domain. Your site lives on yoursite.framer.website with a "Made in Framer" badge. For a serious SaaS launch you need Basic minimum (free .com included on annual since January 2026). Pro is where most production SaaS sites land because of staging environments, 10 CMS collections, and 100 GB bandwidth.

Skip to the comparison table for the short version. Read on for the reasoning behind each pick.

Mantlr curates the best Framer templates in one place — no Marketplace hunting, no outdated picks. Browse hand-verified free and paid Framer SaaS templates sorted by use case.

Free Framer SaaS templates at a glance

|---|---|---|---|---|

All eight are free on the Framer Marketplace, licensed for commercial use, and editable without code. None will launch with a custom domain on Framer's free plan; that requires Basic at $10/month minimum.

Why these templates and not the other 30 SaaS templates on the Marketplace

The Framer Marketplace lists 2,000+ templates and a search for "SaaS" returns dozens of free options. Most are not worth your time. The shortlist below filters by three criteria:

Built for SaaS specifically, not adapted. A portfolio template with a pricing table dropped in does not work for a SaaS site. The sections, copy structure, and visual rhythm have to assume you are selling software. The eight templates here were designed with SaaS surfaces in mind.

Modern Framer features, not legacy. Templates built before mid-2024 often miss Framer's current capabilities (Variants, advanced animations, CMS, accessibility helpers). The list below sticks to templates updated within the last 12-18 months.

Honest free, not free-trial-disguised. Some "free" templates on the Marketplace are paid templates with a free landing page and gated everything-else. Every entry below is genuinely free for the full template, licensed for commercial use, with no upgrade pressure.

1. Blocks (by Framer): the canonical free SaaS UI kit

Best for: Founders who want to build their own SaaS site, not configure a fixed template | Pages: No fixed pages, 100+ modular components | Author: Framer (official) | Updated: Actively maintained | License: Commercial use allowed

Blocks is Framer's official free SaaS UI kit and the single most-recommended starting point on the Marketplace for a reason: it is not a fixed template. It is a library of 100+ pre-designed sections, components, and 3D assets organized by category (Hero, Features, Pricing, Logo, Testimonials, FAQ, CTA, Footer, Tooltip, Navigation, Banner, Button, Typography, 404). You assemble your site by dragging and dropping the sections you need into a custom page structure.

Why this beats picking a fixed template for most SaaS founders: a fixed template traps you in someone else's information architecture. If the template has six features but you have four, you delete two sections and the rhythm breaks. If you need a changelog and the template ships only a blog, you spend hours retrofitting. Blocks inverts the problem. You start with your own sitemap and pull in sections that match.

The kit ships light and dark mode versions of every component, an example dark home page to show how a finished site looks, accessibility-conscious heading hierarchy, and SEO-ready meta structures. The 3D assets are unusual for a free kit and useful if you want a modern AI-startup look without paying for Spline.

Where it falls short: no CMS structure out of the box. You will need to build the blog, changelog, and any dynamic content collections yourself if you need them. The component library is bigger than most builders need on a v1 site, which means you spend extra time deciding what to use. Less opinionated visual design means your site looks generic if you do not invest 1-2 days in typography and color customization.

Verdict: the right pick for any SaaS founder with even basic design instincts who wants control over the final site structure. Skip the fixed templates unless you specifically want someone else's IA.

2. Active: the fastest free SaaS template to ship

Best for: Pre-launch SaaS, MVP validation, single-product landing | Pages: Single-page focused | Author: Community | License: Free, commercial use allowed

Active is the template to use when you need a marketing site live in a weekend and you are not ready to invest in deep customization. It ships with the SaaS essentials wired up out of the box: hero with bold typography, three-up features grid, pricing table with monthly/annual toggle, testimonials block, social proof logos, FAQ, and CTA. The visual style is energetic and modern with strong animation polish: the kind of site that looks like a real product, not a free template.

The single-page structure is a deliberate constraint. Active is designed for the v1 phase where you have one product, one pricing structure, and one story to tell. If you need a blog, changelog, careers page, or pricing for multiple products, Active is the wrong template. If you are validating a SaaS idea and want to ship a landing page that captures email signups while you build, Active is one of the strongest free options on the Marketplace.

Where it falls short: limited surface area for SEO. A single-page site cannot rank for as many keywords as a multi-page site with a content strategy. The visual style is opinionated enough that it does not adapt well to enterprise or B2B-traditional audiences. No CMS means manually editing copy in the editor every time something changes.

Verdict: the right pick for pre-launch landing pages, hackathon MVPs, and "we're building" sites that need to look credible without committing to a full content site.

3. Xtract: AI startup and SaaS with interactive UI

Best for: AI agency, SaaS startup with technical positioning | Pages: Multi-page | CMS: Yes (blog) | Author: Community | License: Free, commercial use allowed

Xtract is one of the most popular free Framer templates for AI agencies and SaaS startups in 2026. It ships with interactive UI components, custom animations on scroll, modular sections that connect into a coherent sales funnel, and a CMS-backed blog. The visual language is polished and modern, with the kind of subtle motion that signals "this product cares about craft."

What makes Xtract genuinely useful: it is one of the few free templates with a blog CMS structure already wired up. Most free SaaS templates ship the visual page templates but expect you to set up the CMS collections yourself, which is fine if you know Framer's CMS but adds 2-3 hours if you don't. Xtract gives you a working blog from day one.

The pricing is also worth noting: Xtract gets used heavily for paid AI agency sites because the polish is competitive with templates that cost $129-149 on the Marketplace. For a free template, it punches significantly above its weight class.

Where it falls short: the AI-startup visual language (dark mode, gradient accents, technical typography) is opinionated. If your SaaS is in a less tech-forward category (HR tools, B2B SaaS for non-technical buyers, healthcare), the visual style will need real work to feel appropriate. The interactive elements that look great on a designer's portfolio can feel busy if you push too much content through them.

Verdict: the strongest free pick for an AI-adjacent SaaS startup that wants to ship a site that does not look like a template.

4. Landio: minimalist AI automation SaaS

Best for: AI automation agencies, dark-mode SaaS, technical products | Pages: Multi-page | CMS: Yes | Author: Community | License: Free, commercial use allowed

Landio is the minimal-aesthetic cousin of Xtract. Same AI-startup positioning, similar feature set, dramatically more restrained visual style. The template uses a dark monochromatic color scheme with strategic 3D element placement, sharp typography, and significantly less motion than Xtract. The result is a site that signals "serious technical product" rather than "consumer-friendly AI tool."

What's worth knowing: Landio's design discipline makes it easier to customize without breaking the visual rhythm. Bright colored templates fall apart when a founder swaps in their brand colors. Landio's restraint means swapping the accent color is the only major customization most founders need.

Where it falls short: the dark-mode-only default works for some products and not others. If your buyer is a non-technical user (marketing teams, sales ops, design teams in traditional industries), the visual style may feel inaccessible. The 3D elements look great but require manual swapping with your own assets if you want them to relate to your product.

Verdict: the right pick for a developer-focused SaaS, an AI agency, or any product where "we know what we're doing" is a stronger signal than "we're friendly."

5. LanderOS: SaaS startup with accessibility built in

Best for: SaaS launches that need accessibility-first foundations, A11y-conscious teams | Pages: Multi-page | CMS: Yes | Author: Community | License: Free, commercial use allowed

LanderOS is the most disciplined free SaaS template on the Marketplace from an accessibility standpoint. The author explicitly built it with WCAG considerations: semantic heading hierarchy, proper focus states, sufficient color contrast in both light and dark modes, ARIA attributes on interactive components, and keyboard navigation support throughout. For a SaaS targeting enterprise buyers or selling into regulated industries (healthcare, fintech, government, education), this matters more than aesthetics.

The visual style is modern but conservative: clean grid layouts, restrained color palette, professional typography, no aggressive animation. The template ships a homepage, features page, pricing page, contact page, and a CMS-backed blog. SEO-friendly meta structures are wired up at the architecture level, not bolted on.

Where it falls short: the conservative visual language can feel underwhelming next to flashier templates like Xtract or Landio. If your competitive positioning depends on visual differentiation (consumer SaaS, design tools, creative products), LanderOS will look generic. The accessibility-first approach also makes some advanced animations harder to add later without breaking the foundations.

Verdict: the right pick for B2B SaaS targeting enterprise buyers, regulated-industry products, or any team that takes accessibility seriously as a competitive moat.

6. CloudPeak Lite: 2-page quick launch SaaS template

Best for: Quick SaaS MVP launch, single-product simple sites | Pages: 2 ready-to-use pages | CMS: No | Author: Community | License: Free, commercial use allowed

CloudPeak Lite is the lightweight option in the list. It ships two pages (a homepage and a secondary page, typically used for an about or features detail) with SEO-optimized meta, instant commercial license, and a clean modern visual style. The template is designed for founders who want to ship a simple SaaS marketing site without configuring a 6-page architecture they will not use.

What makes it useful: the 2-page constraint is forcing function. You stop spending time on a careers page nobody will read at month 3 and focus on the homepage doing its job. For a solo founder pre-revenue, this is the right tradeoff.

The visual language is bold but not aggressive: strong typography, generous whitespace, restrained accent colors. The hero scales well across desktop and mobile breakpoints. The pricing block is opinionated but easy to customize.

Where it falls short: the lack of CMS means every copy update is a manual edit in the Framer editor. If you plan to publish content (blog posts, customer stories, changelog), CloudPeak Lite is the wrong starting point. The 2-page limitation also means SEO surface area is minimal. You will not rank for many keywords from a 2-page site.

Verdict: the right pick for pre-revenue SaaS founders who want a credible marketing site in a day and will revisit the site architecture once they have product-market fit.

7. Cloudeo: cloud-focused SaaS template

Best for: Cloud infrastructure, developer tools, technical SaaS | Pages: Multi-page | CMS: Yes | Author: Community | License: Free, commercial use allowed

Cloudeo positions specifically for cloud and developer-tool SaaS. The template ships with technical-product-friendly sections (API documentation references, integration logos, code snippet displays, technical pricing structures), a CMS-backed blog, and SEO-friendly architecture. The visual style is professional and restrained, aimed at a technical buyer audience rather than a marketing-led one.

What's useful: the integration logos block and the technical pricing layout are both rare in free templates. Most free SaaS templates assume a simple three-tier SaaS pricing model. Cloudeo handles per-seat, usage-based, and enterprise-on-request pricing more gracefully.

Where it falls short: the cloud-positioning visual language locks you into a specific aesthetic. If your SaaS is not in the dev tools or infrastructure space, Cloudeo will require enough customization that you might as well start from Blocks. The animation polish is lower than Xtract or Landio.

Verdict: the right pick for developer-tool SaaS, cloud infrastructure products, or technical B2B SaaS where the buyer will appreciate substance over polish.

8. Aidy: clean SaaS app marketing template

Best for: Consumer-friendly SaaS, productivity tools, design-led products | Pages: Multi-page | CMS: Yes | Author: Community | License: Free, commercial use allowed

Aidy rounds out the list as the most consumer-friendly free SaaS template. The visual language is lighter than the AI-startup templates (Xtract, Landio), more inviting than the enterprise templates (LanderOS), and more polished than the quick-launch templates (CloudPeak Lite). It ships multi-page architecture with a homepage, features, pricing, blog, and contact, all wired up with SEO-friendly metadata.

The template's strength is balance. It does nothing badly. The hero converts, the features grid is scannable, the pricing structure handles the common SaaS tiers cleanly, and the blog CMS works without configuration friction. For founders who want a credible SaaS site without picking a strong opinion, Aidy is the safest choice.

Where it falls short: "safe" is also its limitation. The visual style will not differentiate you from other SaaS sites if your category is crowded. The animation work is competent but not memorable. Aidy is the template you pick when you want a site that does not embarrass you, not when you want a site that wins design awards.

Verdict: the right pick for consumer-SaaS, productivity tools, design-led products, or any founder who wants a balanced multi-page site without strong stylistic opinions.

What you actually need to know about Framer pricing before launching

The free Framer plan does not let you connect a custom domain. Every template above requires Basic ($10/month annual, $15/month monthly) minimum to launch with yourstartup.com. Before you fall in love with a template, understand the plan structure:

Free. Your site lives on yoursite.framer.website with a "Made in Framer" badge. Good for prototyping, learning the editor, and stress-testing a template before paying. Not viable for a real SaaS launch.

Basic ($10/month annual). Custom domain allowed (free .com included on annual plans since January 2026), 30 pages, 1 CMS collection, 1,000 CMS items, 10 GB bandwidth. Suitable for the simplest SaaS sites with at most one blog. The 1-collection CMS cap is the real limit. If you want a blog AND a changelog AND a docs collection, Basic does not work.

Pro ($30/month annual). This is where most production SaaS sites land. 150 pages, 10 CMS collections, 2,500 CMS items, 100 GB bandwidth, staging environments, site redirects, role-based permissions, advanced analytics. The 10-collection cap handles the common SaaS structure (blog, changelog, customer stories, careers, docs, integrations, team, case studies).

Scale ($100/month annual). 300 pages, 20 CMS collections, 10,000 CMS items, 200 GB bandwidth, premium CDN, A/B testing add-on. Overkill for most SaaS sites until you cross meaningful traffic.

The honest budget math for a launching SaaS: $10-30/month for Framer plus a domain ($10-15/year). Annual Pro for a year is $360. That is what most production-grade SaaS marketing sites cost on Framer in 2026.

Picking the right template in 90 seconds

If you have a strong design sense and want control: start with Blocks. Build your own SaaS site from the 100+ components. You will end up with a site that looks like nobody else's, which is the long-term advantage.

If you need to ship in 48 hours and validate an MVP: start with Active. Single-page focus is a feature, not a bug. Email capture, hero, pricing, CTA, done.

If you are building an AI-adjacent SaaS or developer tool: start with Xtract or Landio. Xtract for higher visual polish; Landio for restraint.

If you are selling into enterprise or regulated industries: start with LanderOS. The accessibility foundation and conservative visual language carry weight with the buyer.

If you are building a consumer or productivity SaaS: start with Aidy. Safe, balanced, won't embarrass you.

If you are building developer infrastructure or cloud tools: start with Cloudeo. The integration logos and technical pricing handling save real configuration time.

If you want the lightest possible starting point for a pre-revenue MVP: start with CloudPeak Lite. Two pages, no CMS, ship by Friday.

What to customize before launching, regardless of template

Every free Framer SaaS template needs three layers of customization to stop looking like a template. The work is straightforward but not optional.

Layer 1: brand foundations. Replace the template's typography with your brand fonts (Framer supports custom font upload). Swap the accent color to your brand color. Update the logo placeholder and favicon. These three changes take 30 minutes and remove 70% of the template-look.

Layer 2: copy that does not sound like a template. The placeholder copy in every free template is generic SaaS speak ("Build better products faster," "The all-in-one platform for modern teams"). Rewrite every headline, subheadline, and CTA in your actual product's voice. Reference real customer language, specific use cases, real metrics. This is the single highest-leverage customization for SEO and conversion.

Layer 3: visual differentiation. Replace stock illustrations and 3D assets with screenshots of your actual product, real customer testimonial photos, custom diagrams of your product workflow. Templates use generic visuals because they have to; your site does not. This is what takes a template from looking like a template to looking like a real product site.

Budget 1-3 days for these three layers depending on your design ability. A well-customized free template often beats a poorly customized $99 premium template.

Frequently asked questions

Are free Framer templates good enough for a real SaaS launch?

Yes, with proper customization. The eight templates above ship production-grade visual quality, accessibility considerations, and SEO-friendly structure. The difference between a free template and a $99 paid template in 2026 is often customization depth and CMS structure, not visual quality. For most SaaS startups launching with limited budget, a well-customized free template plus the Framer Pro plan ($30/month annual) covers everything needed for a credible marketing site that converts.

Can I use free Framer templates for commercial work?

Yes. Every template on the Framer Marketplace listed as "Free" includes a commercial-use license, including the eight templates above. The license allows you to use the template for paid SaaS products, client projects, and revenue-generating sites. Verify the specific license terms on each template's Marketplace page before commercial deployment, since author-specific terms occasionally apply.

What is the difference between free and paid Framer templates for SaaS?

Paid Framer SaaS templates ($49-149 range) typically ship deeper page architecture (20+ pages vs 2-6 for free templates), multiple CMS collections wired up out of the box (blog, changelog, customer stories, docs vs single blog or no CMS), more polished animations and interaction design, and dedicated email support from the author. Free templates ship the visual foundations and basic structure, leaving more configuration work to the founder. For most pre-Series-A SaaS startups, free templates plus 1-3 days of customization deliver equivalent results to paid templates.

Do I need to pay for Framer to use a free template?

Yes, to launch with a custom domain. Free Framer templates are free to download and edit, but launching them on a custom domain (yourstartup.com) requires Basic ($10/month annual) minimum. The free Framer plan limits you to a yoursite.framer.website subdomain with a "Made in Framer" badge, which is not viable for a real SaaS launch. Budget $10-30/month for Framer (Basic or Pro) plus your domain registration.

Which free Framer template is best for an AI SaaS startup in 2026?

Xtract is the strongest free Framer template for AI SaaS startups in 2026 based on visual polish, animation work, and CMS-backed blog out of the box. Landio is the close alternative if you want a more restrained dark-mode aesthetic. Both ship the AI-startup visual language (dark theme, gradient accents, 3D elements) that signals a modern technical product. For founders who want full control over visual identity instead of starting from an AI-typed template, Blocks (Framer's official SaaS UI kit) is the better foundation.

How do free Framer templates compare to Webflow templates?

Free Framer templates generally ship more polished animations and interaction design than free Webflow templates, reflecting Framer's design-tool roots. Webflow templates ship more sophisticated CMS structures and ecommerce capabilities out of the box. For a SaaS marketing site (landing, pricing, blog, occasional content publishing), Framer's free template ecosystem is currently stronger. For complex content sites with many CMS collections, multilingual requirements, or ecommerce features, Webflow's free templates handle more out of the box.

Can I customize a free Framer SaaS template without coding?

Yes. Every template above is fully customizable through Framer's visual editor, which works similarly to Figma. You can change colors, typography, copy, images, layout, animations, and section structure without writing any code. Framer also supports custom code injection for advanced cases (custom React components, third-party scripts, custom embeds), but no coding is required for standard customization of the eight templates above.

What is the best free Framer template for an MVP launch?

Active is the fastest free Framer template for an MVP launch in 2026 based on single-page focus, pre-wired conversion sections (hero, features, pricing, testimonials, FAQ, CTA), and modern visual polish. CloudPeak Lite is the alternative if you want a 2-page structure with even less to configure. Both can ship a credible MVP marketing site in 24-48 hours of customization work, paired with Framer Basic at $10/month.

Where to go from here

Open the Framer Marketplace and download two of the eight templates above. Spend an hour customizing each with your brand fonts, accent color, and a real headline from your actual product. The right template becomes obvious within an hour of side-by-side comparison: you will know which one fits your product's voice and which one fights you on every customization.

If you are still deciding between building from Blocks versus starting from a fixed template, default to Blocks unless you specifically want someone else's information architecture. The hour you spend assembling your own page structure pays back in customization speed for the next 12 months of site work.
