DragGo vs Framer
Short answer: Framer is the best canvas in this category and the best motion tool in it, and a Framer site lives on Framer. DragGo is canvas-first too, but it composes the first draft from a description of what the site is for, and publishes class-based HTML with zero JavaScript by default — which you can host free on DragGo, put on your own domain, export as code, or publish into WordPress. Choose Framer when the design and the motion are the product. Choose DragGo when you want a designed page quickly and markup that is yours.

Frequently asked
Is DragGo a Framer alternative?
Yes, for marketing sites. Both are canvas-first rather than template-first, and both take design seriously. The differences that matter: DragGo composes the first draft from a description, publishes class-based HTML with zero JavaScript by default, and lets you export it or publish it to WordPress. A Framer site lives on Framer.
Can I export my site from Framer?
No — that is the clearest difference between the two. Framer hosts what you build. DragGo exports the same clean HTML it publishes, on every plan, so the site can be hosted anywhere.
Which has better animation?
Framer, and it is not close — motion is what the product is built around. DragGo composes motion into the page and publishes it as CSS, which keeps pages light; if the animation IS the site, Framer is the right tool.
Which loads faster?
A page with no JavaScript beats a page with a runtime. DragGo publishes static, class-based HTML — a typical page is around 56 KB. Framer sites are well built but ship their runtime with every page.
Can DragGo publish to WordPress?
Yes. DragGo is its own platform with its own hosting, and WordPress is one of three destinations — host free on DragGo, export the code, or publish into WordPress. Framer publishes to Framer.
