| Pricing | USD $99.00/month (Growth, monthly) or $90.75/month billed annually · free tier: Starter: free forever with 1 space, 1 seat included (max 2), 100GB traffic/month, 100k API requests/month with no top-up, 2 locales, 25k AI credits, 1-day retention, no uptime SLA; plus a 45-day free trial of Growth Plus | $300/month (Lite) · free tier: Free $0/forever: 10 users, 2 roles (Admin, Editor), 2 locales, 100,000 API calls/month, 50 GB CDN bandwidth/month, 1 Starter Space, 50 MB asset uploads, community support only, hard usage caps instead of overages |
| Pricing model | Subscription (per space, with metered overages and AI credits) | Subscription with usage overages and paid add-ons |
| Best for | Single-brand, single-site product or marketing teams of roughly 5-20 people who want marketers editing visually without developer tickets, and teams migrating off Contentful on cost and usability grounds. | Mid-market and enterprise teams with dedicated in-house developers, multi-brand or multi-channel content, high API volumes and an actual content-governance function — especially those wanting personalization and experimentation native to the CMS. |
| Avoid if | You are an agency or multi-brand operator on a budget (per-space pricing), you have more than 20 users, you need an asset-heavy media library, or you require a contractual 99.9%+ uptime guarantee without enterprise spend. | You are a startup, small business or single-site project on a budget, need more than three locales without jumping to Enterprise, have no developer resource, or require guaranteed support response times without an Enterprise contract. |

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.
