The Best Free Framer Templates in 2026
Five free Framer templates worth using right now, across SaaS, AI, and portfolio — plus what to look for once free stops being enough.
Free doesn't have to mean generic anymore
The free tier of the Framer Marketplace used to be an afterthought. It isn't anymore — some of the most-used templates on the whole platform are free, built by creators who make their money on the paid templates in the same shop. Five worth knowing.
1. Blocks — by Framer
Framer's own free SaaS kit — over 100 sections rather than one fixed layout, best for builders who want to assemble their own page instead of customizing a template.
2. Viper — by Westhill Studio
175K+ views and counting — one of the most-used free portfolio templates on the marketplace, for freelancers and small studios.
3. Palmer — by Westhill Studio
Westhill Studio's quieter, darker sibling to Viper — even less between the visitor and the work.
4. Suprema — by Praha
The dark, modular AI-SaaS look, at no cost — a strong pick for pre-revenue AI startups.
5. Portfolite — by Framebase
Minimal and flexible enough to work as either a solo portfolio or a tiny agency's front page.
When free stops being enough
Free templates are genuinely good starting points, but they're used by thousands of other sites too — at some point a growing brand wants something less shared. That's the gap paid templates like our own Monitor are built for: the same ease of use, but a design that isn't sitting on hundreds of other homepages at once.
How to choose
Need a SaaS site and want full control? Blocks. Portfolio, proven and free? Viper or Palmer, depending on how minimal you want to go. AI startup on zero budget? Suprema. Might grow into a small studio? Portfolite. And once free starts feeling crowded, that's the moment to look at a paid option.
