The short answer
Framerfy and Frameship both bridge Shopify into Framer. The two real differences come down to price and flexibility.
Frameship uses a one-time payment, licensed per site. Its Launch plan is $119 and its Scale plan is $279 (each is a single-site license — a second store means a second license). It has a large user base and a broad feature set, especially at the Scale tier.
Framerfy is free. There's no per-site license and no up-front cost — you install it, connect Shopify, and build across as many projects as you like. If you'd rather have a store built for you, there's an optional one-time $299 Done-For-You service, but the plugin itself is free.
If you want a one-time purchase for a single store and Frameship's specific Scale features, Frameship is a solid option. If you want zero cost, no per-site license, and the freedom to use one tool across every project, Framerfy is the better fit.

A fair word on Frameship
Frameship is a capable, well-established plugin with one of the largest user bases in the Framer commerce category, and its one-time payment model is genuinely appealing if you want to own a license outright. Its Scale tier packs in advanced components — user accounts, subscriptions, bundles, advanced filtering, and Shopify Markets.
Note that Frameship's pricing has risen over time (earlier versions were commonly cited around $89–$99; current pricing is $119 for Launch and $279 for Scale). If you saw an older, lower figure, it's worth checking the live number before deciding.
We'd genuinely point you to Frameship if you want a one-time purchase for a single store and need its Scale-tier feature depth.
When Framerfy is the better choice
Choose Framerfy if:
You build more than one store — for clients or yourself. Per-site licensing adds up; Framerfy is free across all your projects.
You want zero entry cost. Free beats a $119–$279 up-front commitment, especially when you're testing the waters.
You value flexibility and simplicity over the largest possible feature checklist.
You'd like an optional done-for-you build ($299) to hand a finished store to a client.
What both tools have in common
Both sync your Shopify catalog into Framer and keep Shopify's native, secure checkout.
Both require active Framer and Shopify plans to run a live store — the plugin is one layer, not the whole stack.
Both are built for designers who want custom storefronts without custom development.
The decision is really: do you want to pay once per site (Frameship), or use a free plugin across everything you build (Framerfy)?
