Framer builds websites: marketing pages, portfolios, and blogs, with a design canvas and an AI agent. Luna Park builds applications: logic, user accounts, and data that users create. They rarely compete for the same project.

Example: a waitlist form
Visitors enter their name, email, and favorite ride, and get a ticket number.
Luna Park
- Place the fields and a button, each field bound to a variable.
- On click, a graph sends the variables to a backend route and shows the ticket.
- The route inserts a row in the
Waitlisttable and returns its id.
Framer
- Insert a form and add the fields.
- Send submissions to email, Google Sheets, or a webhook.
- Returning a ticket number needs a code component and an external backend.
Code export
Framer sites only run on Framer. Luna Park exports the complete application, frontend and backend.
Other differences
- Design. Framer leads on visual design and motion for marketing sites. Luna Park styles components with CSS, design tokens, and the Motion plugin.
- Data. Luna Park stores what users create, with routes and authentication controlling access. Framer's CMS holds your team's content.
- SEO. Each Luna Park page has its own title, description, and social image, and the backend serves a sitemap (SEO).
Which one to choose?
Luna Park
- You build an app: SaaS, dashboard, marketplace, internal tool.
- Users have accounts and create data.
Framer
- You build a marketing site, landing page, or portfolio.
- Designers own the site and edit it visually.
Many products use both: a Framer marketing site, and a Luna Park app behind the "Log in" button.
Before switching
- Luna Park is not a CMS.
- Page tags are written by the server, but page content renders in the browser. For content sites that rely on search traffic, Framer fits better.
