# Is Framer Motion free for commercial use?

> Yes. Framer Motion, now called Motion, is free and open source under the MIT licence, so you can use it in commercial projects. Motion+ is an optional paid add-on with extra components, examples and tooling, sold for $399 once per developer when we checked in November 2026. You do not need it to use the animation library.
