| Pricing | Not published · free tier: Unverified — G2 listing shows a free "Explorer" account and the vendor advertises "Start free" via an "Enterprise Fast Track" trial, but Capterra records no free version and no trial duration or usage limits are published | $49/month (Builder) · free tier: Free $0/month, permanent, no credit card: 1 Project, 1 Bucket, 2 team members, 50 object types, 1,000 Objects, 300k in/300k out AI tokens, 1 Agent + 1 Workflow, 10k non-cached + 100k cached API requests, 1GB storage, community (Discord) support |

| Best for | Enterprises with dedicated engineering capacity, a real budget and multi-brand, multi-region omnichannel content operations — retail, travel, financial services and manufacturing — that value 24/7 support and formal onboarding over self-serve speed. | Small-to-mid developer-led product or marketing teams on Next.js/React that want a zero-ops hosted CMS with AI agents doing content and code work, and agencies running a handful of client sites who can absorb the $199 add-on bundle in a retainer. |
| Avoid if | You are a solo developer, startup or small team, need to fix a budget before contacting sales, want out-of-the-box functionality on day one, or need a fast low-effort migration from an existing CMS. | You need revision history, backups, webhooks or localisation included rather than as $199/mo extras; you are bootstrapped and will outgrow the $49 tier; you are an image- or video-heavy publisher; you need large uncached API volume, self-hosting or data residency; or your procurement requires compliance certifications and a defensible reference base. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
