Design and diagrams decision
Frameblox
A competent technical user can build a smaller self-hosted replacement (storefront + component files + basic Framer plugin) in about a week, but reproducing Frameblox's breadth (1400+ components, daily new items, established plugin distribution and lifetime updates) is impractical for one person.

Not priced
No pricing page we fetched carried a figure, so there is nothing to compare against. The build side is still real.

No published price to break even against.
No open-source build does this yet
Nothing published replaces this one, so a replacement starts from an empty file. Here is what it would have to cover.
What a replacement has to do
- Provide a searchable library of Framer-ready components and a simple plugin to insert them into a Framer project.
What it still won’t have
- The existing 1400+ prebuilt components, pages and daily new components (quantity and breadth).
- Official Frameblox Framer plugin distribution and any plugin-specific automation.
- Lifetime access and free future updates included by Frameblox's one-time purchase offer.
What remains hard
- Product polish and ongoing maintenance
First-year cost
No published price
Frameblox does not publish a price we could read, so there is nothing to compare against. What building costs is below.

Runnable build prompt
Build a minimal self-hosted Frameblox replacement: stack: Next.js + React for storefront/admin, PostgreSQL (or SQLite) for metadata, S3-compatible storage for Framer files, and an Electron/JavaScript Framer plugin scaffold that uses the Framer plugin API to insert components. In scope: author/upload Framer component files with metadata and thumbnails, searchable public storefront, license checkout (Stripe) that issues a download link, plugin that downloads and imports a component into an open Framer doc, and an admin UI to add/update components. Out of scope: matching the full 1400+ component library and automated daily component generation. Include error handling, unit/integration tests for upload/download flows, and CI deploy scripts.

- 3/3 assessment runs agreed+4
- Evidence score62
The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time - so the same evidence always produces the same number.
