Standard or Pro: which licence do you need?
The paid templates here come with two licences. The difference is how many websites you can build, and that is most of what there is to it.
Each paid template on Openfile, Talos, Reely and Rep Republic, is sold with two licences. Both give you the same template and the same files. What changes is how many websites you are allowed to build with it.
Standard covers one website
The Standard licence lets you build one website, for yourself or for one client. You can change it as much as that site needs and run it commercially. A second website needs a second Standard licence, or the Pro licence.
Pro covers as many as you need
The Pro licence is for people who build sites more than once: studios, freelancers, founders with more than one product. Remix the template once and use it on every project, for yourself or for clients, with no fee per site.
On Talos, Pro also comes with priority support while you set it up.
| Standard | Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Websites | One | As many as you need |
| Client work | For one client | For any number of clients |
| Changes | As much as the site needs | Anything |
| Selling the template itself | Not allowed | Not allowed |
What neither licence allows
Both licences are for building websites, not for passing the template on. Neither lets you sell or redistribute the template itself, or put it inside a template, theme or other product you sell.
How to choose
Count the websites. If this template is going to become one site, yours or a client's, Standard is enough. If you expect to use it again, for another product, a relaunch under a new name or the next client, Pro is the cheaper route. On Talos it is $159 against $129 for a single site, less than two Standard licences would cost.
Free templates work differently
The five free templates are covered by Framer's Community Terms rather than a licence sold here. You can use them for your own sites, commercial ones included, and for client work, and change anything in them. What you cannot do is sell or share the template itself, or post it on another marketplace.
The binding terms for paid templates are the ones shown at checkout on Polar. This post is a plain summary of them, and the licence page has the full version, with links to both sets of terms.
