| Pricing | $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 | $15 per seat/month (Growth) · free tier: Free forever: up to 20 user seats plus free viewers, 2 public-only datasets, 10k documents, 1m API CDN requests/mo, 250k API requests/mo, 100GB assets and bandwidth, 1000 AI credits/mo, 500K function invocations/mo, community support only, no overage purchasing |
| Pricing model | Subscription with credit/usage-based add-ons | Subscription (per seat) with usage-based overages |
| Best for | 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. | Developer-led product and engineering teams on React/Next.js stacks who want the editing UI defined in code, plus freelancers and small agencies exploiting the 20-seat free tier with full AI features. |
| Avoid if | 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. | You are a marketing team without engineering support, need SSO/audit logs/SLA on a published budget, need many datasets or environments on a mid-market budget, have more than 50 editors, or require invoicing below Enterprise. |

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.
