| Pricing | CMS Growth $45/month (3 seats included, +$15/month/seat); Cloud Starter $35/project/month · free tier: Community edition free forever under MIT licence: RBAC, REST & GraphQL API, unlimited entries and API calls, unlimited content-types/locales/roles/components, community support; 30-day free trial of Growth features on self-hosted projects, no credit card required | $10/mo per repository (Starter, annual billing rate) · free tier: Free $0/mo per repository: 1 user, 4M API calls/mo, 100 GB CDN/mo, 2 locales, Visual Page Builder, unlimited documents/types/assets, image optimization, Migration API — no overages allowed (exceeding limits locks the repository) |
| Pricing model | Freemium + Subscription (self-hosted licence ladder and per-project managed hosting, with published usage overages) | Subscription (per repository, tiered with metered overages) |
| Best for | Engineering-led teams with Node.js/JavaScript competence that need a customizable multi-channel content API, want self-hosting or data residency, and can absorb major-version migration work — agencies and product teams especially, given the free tier plus $35–$90/month hosting. | A single marketing or corporate website on a Next.js/React front end, with an in-house developer maintaining slices, a marketing team publishing campaign pages frequently, 1–5 languages and predictable traffic; teams of 3–25 fit the $10–$150 rungs, and PoCs or small production sites fit the Free tier. |
| Avoid if | You are a marketing-led or non-technical team with no dedicated developer, need visual page composition or a site builder, require a guaranteed uptime SLA on a small budget, need native rate-limiting/API analytics out of the box, or cannot budget engineering time for breaking major-version migrations. | You have spiky or bot-heavy API traffic and have not pre-emptively disabled default auto-upgrade, run many sites and want pooled quotas, need 9+ locales below an Enterprise budget, want genuinely developer-independent freeform page design, need omnichannel product content rather than website pages, or must cost the AI add-on before committing. |

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.
