Companies Using Framer Motion

I've spent most of my career on web crawlers, and animation libraries are usually hard to count: they leave little trace in a page's source. Framer Motion is easier than most, because the library announces itself once it runs. As of our October 2026 crawl, TechnologyChecker.io finds it on 405,042 live domains, and 240,728 of them match a company record. The count holds up well. The company list behind it needs more care than its logos suggest.

What the signal catches

Our rule reads one global variable, window.MotionIsMounted. Motion's React code sets it to true in the hook that mounts each animated component. So a domain counts only if a motion component rendered while we loaded the page. A site that bundles the library but shows nothing animated on that page is missed, which makes 405,042 a floor.

I checked the rule against our named list by loading every detection URL in a headless browser. Of the 48 pages that loaded for us, 46 had the flag set, and only one of those 46 was a Framer site. The two misses were regional redirects that served us a different page.

Framer Motion is now Motion

On 12 November 2024 the library's creator, Matt Perry, announced that Framer Motion was going independent as Motion, with Framer's blessing and with Framer as its first sponsor. The project moved to motion.dev and added vanilla JavaScript and later Vue APIs. Most codebases haven't caught up with the name. In the week of 4 to 10 October 2026, npm counted 50,936,387 downloads of framer-motion against 24,988,183 of motion, and both packages reached version 14.1.0 on the same day. That's why this page keeps the old name: people still search for it and still install it.

One in six is a Framer site

Framer, the site builder, runs its animations on Motion, and Perry's post says that won't change. In our raw live set, 68,667 of 405,423 domains (16.9%) are also detected as Framer sites. They carry Motion because the builder ships it, not because anyone on the team picked an animation library. Other platforms add smaller groups: WordPress on 12,850 domains, Shopify on 11,732, Elementor on 5,651, Webflow on 2,209, Wix on 2,126 and Lovable on 1,633. Most of what's left is custom React builds.

Sales Signal: Split the list before you call anyone. A Framer site is a prospect for Framer templates, agencies and plugins, not for developer tooling. The developer audience is in the other five-sixths.

Growth trajectory

Our current crawl counts 228,023 Framer Motion domains in June 2026, 286,338 in July, 309,663 in August, 392,514 in September and 405,042 in October. Counts are not a like-for-like series over time: the set of domains we crawl turns over every month, with dead sites dropping out and newly found ones added, and our detection signals widen over time. The jumps into July and September reflect changes on our side, both the domains we cover and the signals we detect Motion with, rather than a surge in adoption.

Exits are easier to read. 53,094 domains have stopped showing the signal since we began tracking it on 16 March 2026, equal to 13.11% of today's 405,042. Not all of them left. When I re-checked on 12 October, 6,600 of the 53,866 domains on that list by then still ran Motion on another hostname.

"The October count is the number to plan with. The slope behind it is our crawl growing as much as Motion is, and a territory plan built on that slope would be built on our coverage, not on the market." - Mehmet Suleyman, CEO & Co-founder at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales Signal: Size territories on the October figure and ignore the month-over-month slope. A first detection is often a domain we've only just reached, so don't trigger "just adopted" outreach from it alone.

The companies behind the domains

The matched base is small and young. 64.76% of companies with a size band have 1-10 employees and 88.25% have 50 or fewer. 45.58% were founded in the 2020s and 35.6% in the 2010s. Software Development (8.6%), IT Services (8.36%) and Technology, Information and Internet (6.49%) add up to 23.45%; Advertising (3.85%), Marketing (2.94%) and Design Services (2.05%) add another 8.84%.

The enterprise tail is 2,444 companies above 1,000 employees (1,623 + 333 + 488 across the top three size bands), and which property carries Motion matters more than the logo. Airbnb, Southwest Airlines, PepsiCo, Kraft Heinz, Bayer and Huntington Bank run it on their main sites. Nike's detection is its newsroom, the FAA's is modernskies.faa.gov and TSMC's is its ESG site. SAP, Uber and Verizon run it on careers sites that load their assets from the same careers-site provider, so those three are one vendor's build.

Sales Signal: At a large company, find the team that owns the detected property. A newsroom or ESG site usually belongs to communications and its agency, a careers site to HR and its vendor. Main-site detections, as at Airbnb or Southwest, are the closest thing on this list to a company-wide front-end choice.

Industry and geography

The United States leads with 52,759 matched companies, 21.92% of the matched base, and India is second with 26,461. Add the United Kingdom (15,173), Canada (7,128) and Australia (6,088) to the US and the four big English-speaking markets come to 81,148 companies, 33.71% of 240,728. Brazil (13,928) sits just behind the UK, and the UAE (3,708) and Nigeria (2,377) make the top fifteen. Agencies stand out too: Advertising and Marketing Services together hold 15,341 companies.

Sales Signal: For agency-facing products, filter Advertising, Marketing and Design Services. Those firms often build Motion sites for clients, so one agency relationship can reach many domains. India and Brazil are the largest markets outside the English-speaking group.

Migration patterns

Libraries don't get switched the way SaaS tools do. They disappear when a site is rebuilt. The one row we publish is anime.js: 1,355 domains that run Motion today have dropped anime.js since March, 991 of them in the last 90 days, while 142 went the other way. Those 1,355 are unrelated sites, 84.6% on Tailwind CSS and 47.1% on Next.js, with no shared platform behind them. That's what sites rebuilt on a React stack look like.

The bigger movement is with GSAP, and it isn't a clean switch. 10,428 Motion sites have dropped GSAP since March and 2,716 went the other way, about 3.8 to 1. But 25,228 domains still run both, 63% of the 40,040 ever seen with the pair, so most teams use them side by side.

"Teams rarely move from one animation library to another the way they move CRMs. They rebuild the site, and the new build happens to use Motion. I read every row here as a rebuild." - Mehmet Suleyman, CEO & Co-founder at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales Signal: A domain that dropped anime.js or GSAP and kept Motion has probably been rebuilt in the last few months. Treat that as a timing signal for QA, performance and accessibility work, not as churn a library vendor could win back.

Technology ecosystem

Tailwind CSS runs on 76.41% of Framer Motion domains, Next.js on 43.61% and React Router on 29.82%, with Radix UI on 40.61% and shadcn/ui on 34.96%. Our direct React signal reads only 4.99%, which says more about how little modern React builds expose than about these sites, so size React from Next.js and React Router. Vercel hosts 26.6%, Amazon Web Services 7.54% and Supabase 1.61%. Icons follow the same pattern: Lucide renders on 53.61% of Motion domains. All stack shares here are of 404,987 clean live domains.

Sales Signal: For recruiters, a Motion detection outside Framer is a skills brief: React, usually through Next.js, styled with Tailwind CSS. For developer-tool vendors, Vercel is the natural integration angle, since more than a quarter of these domains deploy there.

How to use this list

Exclude Framer sites first, then filter to 11-200 employees to move past solo builders; the 11-50 (23.49%) and 51-200 (7.47%) bands hold 30.96% of matched companies with a size band. Read the detection URL last, for the reasons above.

A workable opener: "I saw [site] animates with Motion on a Next.js and Tailwind build. Teams on that stack usually care about [performance / accessibility / hiring], and here's how [product] helps."
