Loora vs Framer
Framer’s value is that design and publishing are one product: you lay a site out and it is live, with a CMS, forms, and hosting behind it. Loora does not host anything. It is a canvas document that an agent can author over MCP, with branches and history, and its output is code you take away. Choose Framer to ship a marketing site; choose Loora when the design file itself is the artifact and an agent works on it with you.
Side by side
| Loora | Framer | |
|---|---|---|
| Output | HTML/CSS, React/TSX, plain JSX, Tailwind, JSON, PNG — exported, then yours | A hosted site on Framer, with a custom domain |
| Agent access | Remote MCP server with a full typed authoring vocabulary | AI features inside the product; no agent-facing authoring protocol |
| Hosting | None — you deploy the export wherever you like | Included, and a large part of what you are paying for |
| CMS | None | Built-in collections, with dynamic pages off them |
| Motion | Transitions, keyframe animations, and hover, press, and focus states, generated as CSS in the export | Deep scroll and interaction effects, tuned in the editor |
| Versioning | Branches with semantic merge, version history, and a transaction log | Page history and undo |
| Code ownership | The export is standalone and does not come back in | The site lives in Framer; code components extend it |
| Pricing | Free, or $20 / month | Per-site, by traffic and CMS needs, plus per-editor seats |
Choose Framer when
- You want the site live today with a domain, forms, analytics, and a CMS, and you do not want to run infrastructure.
- You are building a marketing site where scroll effects and polish are the product.
- Non-technical teammates need to edit page content after launch.
- You would rather never see the generated code.
Choose Loora when
- The design has to end up inside an existing codebase, as React or plain HTML.
- You want an agent doing the layout work through typed tools rather than a chat that regenerates a page.
- You want branches for speculative changes and a history you can roll back.
- You are designing app surfaces — dashboards, settings, flows — rather than a marketing site.
The honest summary
Framer is a way to publish a site. Loora is a way to design one with an agent and take the code. They overlap on the canvas and nowhere else.

Questions
Can Loora host my site?
No. Loora exports HTML and CSS, React/TSX, JSX, Tailwind, JSON, and PNG, and you host the result. If hosting is the thing you want bundled, Framer is a better fit.
Does Framer have an MCP server?
Framer’s AI features live inside the product rather than being exposed as an agent-facing authoring protocol. Loora’s point is the opposite: the MCP tools are how the document is written, and the editor uses the same operations.
Which is better for a web app UI?
Loora, mostly. Framer is strongest on marketing pages. App surfaces — dense layouts, components, tokens, states — are what a structured canvas with export is for.
