Relume turns a brief into a sitemap, wireframes built from real components, a style guide and a published marketing site, and each alternative replaces one or two of those steps. Octopus.do and FlowMapp replace the sitemap. Webflow's AI site builder, Framer AI and Figma Sites replace the build. Untitled UI and Client-First replace the component system. Lovable and v0 skip the wireframe and go from a chat box straight to code.
Relume is strongest at structure, and so are most of its alternatives. Relume's own name for its wireframe stage is structure before styling, and its style guide sets colors, fonts and the look of buttons, cards and fields. The hero idea, the motion and the art direction are left to you, and that is where Relume sites tend to start resembling each other.
That gap is where Thanor fits. It is listed below as one option among the rest, for the step after the wireframe, with its limits stated.
How this list was checked#
Every product was opened on its own site and docs on 9 November 2026. Prices are quoted as each pricing page showed them that day; where a vendor prints a "from" price or only one billing period, that is what is quoted, and anything not shown is left out. For each tool we recorded:
- which of Relume's steps it replaces: sitemap, wireframe, style guide, components or build
- what it outputs: a diagram, a Figma file, a hosted site or code
- what it costs, and what the free tier allows
- what it decides about the design, and what it leaves blank
Two changes are worth knowing before you compare. Relume moved from relume.io to relume.ai and now publishes sites itself, which makes it a builder as well as a planning tool. And Visily, often listed as a Relume alternative, shut down on 31 October 2026. Thanor publishes this page and appears in it, held to the same questions.
What Relume does now#
Relume describes itself as the fastest AI website builder for simple marketing sites, and it now has two halves.
- Publish: brief, sitemap, wireframe, design, then a live site on Relume's hosting, with a CMS added in October 2026, AI agents for copy, strategy, design and analysis, and a beta image studio for on-brand pictures.
- Export: the same sitemap and wireframes sent to Figma, Webflow or React. The React export is React with Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui, or plain HTML, and the FAQ notes the HTML and Tailwind export does not carry the style guide, variables or images.
The integrations have grown fast. A Claude Design export, added in May 2026, sends colors, type, spacing and components into Claude Design. A library MCP server arrived in July and a publishing MCP in October. There is no native Framer export; the FAQ describes rebuilding in Framer through Framer's MCP server and an AI tool.
At the time of writing, publishing plans start from $14 a month, with hosting from $12 per project a month and a free tier on a relume.live address. The Site Builder export plans run Free, Starter from $18 a month, Pro from $40 and Team from $36 a month with three users at minimum. The license allows unlimited client and personal projects, never redistribution of the components, and one person per account.
People look for an alternative for three reasons: they only need one step, they want to build somewhere else, or every site they make with it starts to look like the last one.
What the style guide decides, and what it leaves#
Relume's style guide is a real step and a useful one. The AI suggests brand, accent and neutral colors, which you adjust with a picker or shuffle. You pick a heading face and a body face, or shuffle those too, and set their size, weight and style. Then you style buttons, cards and form fields, and Design View applies the result to every wireframe.
What it does not set is the part a visitor feels. A full art direction covers several decisions that Relume's documented style guide leaves out:
- a type scale as a ratio, for example
1.25from16px, giving20,25,31,39,49and61pixels - a spacing ladder such as
8,16,24,40,64,104 - one easing curve for every entrance, such as
cubic-bezier(0.22, 1, 0.36, 1)at620mswith an80msstagger - how scroll behaves: which section pins, which film it scrubs, how far
- the hero idea and the media that carries it
Without those, two Relume sites with different brand colors share the same rhythm: the component library gives them the same proportions, and nothing in the style guide sets how they move. Here are three one-page sites where those decisions were made, each shown moving:
A Milan nail-lacquer studio: a hero film of glossy nails on hot pink, then a one-page scroll with sticky sections.
Open the prompt →A mezcal bottle cut out and carried through every section as you scroll, over pink with splashes.
Open the prompt →A bubble-tea one-pager: splashing cups on red, a turning cup, a running marquee and a quiz that picks your tea.
Open the prompt →Each could start from a Relume sitemap. None of them could come out of a style guide that stops at colors, fonts and button shapes.

Best for the sitemap: Octopus.do and FlowMapp#
Octopus.do#
Octopus.do is a visual sitemap tool with a library of lo-fi wireframe blocks, a crawler that maps an existing site and an AI assistant. It covers Relume's first two steps and stops there, which is the point if your build happens elsewhere. The free plan is one user and one project; Pro is $16 a month or $14 billed yearly, for eight projects, and Team is $24 per seat or $20 billed yearly.
FlowMapp#
FlowMapp adds user flows to the sitemap, with an AI sitemap generator and wireframes. The free plan holds one project of 20 pages. Pro is $15 a month or $8.25 billed annually, Team $35 or $19.25, and an Agency plan $99 or $54.45.
Both suit a redesign where the sitemap is the argument with the client. Both hand you a structure and nothing about how the finished pages look, which is the same place Relume's wireframes leave you. The section order still matters more than most people treat it, and the landing page structure guide covers which section has to carry the weight.
Best for building on a canvas: Webflow, Framer and Figma#
Webflow AI site builder#
Webflow's AI site builder turns a prompt into a Webflow site with a foundational design system built on its Flowkit framework, which is the closest match to Relume's export plus build. Starter is free, and paid site plans start at $15 a month billed yearly for Basic, in dollars and per site. The Webflow alternatives cover the platform itself.
Framer AI#
Framer AI is a set of agents inside Framer that create pages and sections from a description, restyle them, make them responsive and review the site before publishing. Framer's old Wireframer address now redirects to its AI page. Plans are free with 500 AI credits to try, then Basic at $10 and Pro at $30 a month billed yearly. The review pass checks consistency against a standard you set, which is why the Framer alternatives argue it is worth more once a specification exists.
Figma Sites and Figma Make#
Figma Sites, still labeled beta, publishes responsive sites from Figma with pre-built blocks and a CMS. Figma Make turns prompts into code with your design system as context. A Professional full seat is $16 a month billed annually, with 3,000 AI credits a month.
All three are better builders than Relume's publishing side, and all three apply whatever look you bring to them faithfully.
Best for the component system: Untitled UI, Client-First and shadcn/ui#
Untitled UI#
Untitled UI is a Figma kit and a React library built on Tailwind CSS and React Aria, sold once for unlimited projects. At the time of writing the Figma Pro Solo license is $129 and the React Pro Solo license $349, with free tiers and larger team licenses above. It replaces Relume's component library when the deliverable is a product or a site in React.
Client-First#
Client-First is Finsweet's free class system for Webflow, now rebuilt around Webflow Variables in version 3. Relume's own Webflow components are built with it, so it is less an alternative than the foundation underneath. Use it directly when you build in Webflow without the Relume library.
shadcn/ui blocks#
shadcn/ui blocks are free, open source and copied into your project as code. The official blocks are app UI, dashboards, sidebars and sign-in forms, so for marketing sections they replace less of Relume than the name suggests. Relume's own React export already uses shadcn/ui.
A component system makes pages consistent. It cannot make them distinctive, because every buyer of the kit starts from the same proportions.
Best for skipping the wireframe: Lovable and v0#
Lovable and v0 collapse Relume's steps into one conversation. You describe the site, the model writes the code, and you refine it by chat. Lovable's free tier gives five daily credits and Pro is $25 a month; v0's free tier allows seven messages a day and Plus is $30 per user a month, at the time of writing.
The trade is that the sitemap and wireframe steps, which are where Relume earns its price, disappear into the model's first guess. For a single landing page that is often fine. For a 12 page site with a client signing off on structure, the planning step is worth keeping, and a Relume or Octopus.do sitemap pasted into the chat as the first message gets you both.
What neither changes is the look. A model given a clean modern site for a dental clinic returns the average of every dental clinic site it has read. The Lovable alternatives and v0 alternatives go through that problem tool by tool.
Best for the design step: Thanor#
Thanor covers the step the tools above leave blank. It is a library of website designs, each shown as a live, moving preview, and each with a long, exact prompt. Paste the prompt into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, Lovable, v0 or Bolt and the model builds that site.
The prompt is a full art direction written as values: the palette in hex, the type faces and scale, the spacing, the easing curves and durations, the section order and every interaction, plus hosted films, cut-outs and stills the page uses. It fits after a Relume sitemap: keep your structure, take the art direction, and adapt its section order to your pages. Two more examples:
A poster that scrolls: a huge four-color ONWARD with a character bursting in front, columns and a band of type.
Open the prompt →A studio footer: a knitted creature whose pupils follow your cursor, with three columns of dark type on the picture.
Open the prompt →Where Thanor is the wrong pick: it makes neither sitemaps nor wireframes, it does not host sites or run a CMS, and it is not a builder. If you need a client to approve a page tree, Relume or Octopus.do does that job. And if you work in Claude Design, Relume's export and Claude Design prompts that avoid the default look are worth reading together. The Thanor MCP brings the library into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, so an assistant can pull a design's full art direction next to your sitemap.
How to choose a Relume alternative#
- You only need the page tree: Octopus.do or FlowMapp.
- You want to stay in a visual builder: Webflow for the closest match, Framer for the strongest AI agent, Figma Sites if your team lives in Figma.
- You want a component system you own: Untitled UI in React or Figma, Client-First for Webflow.
- You want to skip planning for one page: Lovable or v0.
- You want the finished site to look designed, whichever tool builds it: a full art direction from Thanor, pasted into that tool.
The steps combine. A common stack is an Octopus.do sitemap, a Thanor art direction and a build in Claude, Cursor or Framer. Another is Relume's own sitemap and wireframes with the art direction applied on top. If you also need ready sections in Tailwind, the Tailwind UI alternatives compare the libraries that sell them.
The verdict#
Each tool here wins one part of the job:
- Planning: Relume is the most complete single tool, from brief to sitemap to wireframes with real copy, with exports to Figma, Webflow, React and Claude Design.
- The sitemap alone: Octopus.do, for less.
- The build: Webflow and Framer are stronger builders.
- Components you own outright: Untitled UI.
Choose Relume if a client signs off on structure before anything else, or if you build several marketing sites a month in Webflow and want the page tree, the copy and the components to arrive together. That workflow is what it was built for, and the alternatives above each cover only part of it.
None of them, Relume included, decides the art direction. The style guide picks colors and fonts and stops before the type ratio, the curve, the duration and the hero idea. That is why sites planned in Relume tend to rhyme, and why changing the planning tool will not change it.
So keep whichever tool fits your process, and add the missing layer as a specification. MotionSites and the other prompt libraries are the category that sells it, and Framer templates are the other way people try to buy a look, with their own trade-offs.
Put an art direction on your next sitemap#
Open Lacca and scroll it to the end with your Relume sitemap open beside it. The sections will be familiar: hero, product, story, shop. What changes is everything the wireframe left blank, and the prompt writes each of those decisions down. If you want to read a full specification before choosing a plan, Vesperion is free with an account; copy its prompt and compare it line by line with your style guide.
Questions this raises
What is Relume used for?
Planning and building marketing sites. You write a brief, and Relume drafts a sitemap, wireframes built from its component library with copy, and a style guide of colors, fonts and UI styles. You then publish on Relume's hosting or export to Figma, Webflow or React. It now also exports a design system to Claude Design.
How much does Relume cost?
At the time of writing, Relume's pricing page lists free tiers on both sides. Publishing plans start from $14 a month, with hosting from $12 per project a month. The Site Builder export plans start from $18 a month for Starter and $40 for Pro, and Team from $36 a month with a minimum of three users.
Is there a free alternative to Relume?
For single steps, yes. Octopus.do and FlowMapp both have free plans for one sitemap project. Finsweet's Client-First is a free Webflow class system, and shadcn/ui blocks are free and open source, though they are app UI rather than marketing sections. Relume itself has a free tier that covers about one full website.
Does Relume export to Framer?
Not natively. Relume exports to Figma, Webflow, and React with Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui, or plain HTML. Its FAQ describes moving a site into Framer by rebuilding it through Framer's MCP server and an AI tool, so expect to redo the styling there.
Is Visily a good Relume alternative?
Not any more. Visily announced that it would shut down on 31 October 2026 and that user data would be permanently deleted on 30 November 2026. If you used it for wireframes, Octopus.do and FlowMapp cover the sitemap and lo-fi wireframe step, and Relume itself covers wireframes built from real components.
