| Pricing | Heartcore Starter €60 EUR/month; Umbraco Cloud Starter €45 EUR/month · free tier: Vendor page meta description states a 14-day free trial for Heartcore (not confirmed in page body); self-hosted Umbraco CMS is widely described as free but the licence page was not verified | $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 | Subscription (per seat) with usage-based overages |
| Best for | .NET/C# teams and agencies already on Azure who need a managed headless or hybrid CMS where content editors are the primary daily users and hosting, CDN, forms and SLA on one invoice matter. | 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 | Your team is Node/Python/PHP-native with no .NET skills, you need more than three environments or sustained throughput above ~75 rps, you require a genuinely free or sub-€50 production headless tier, or procurement demands published enterprise pricing. | 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.
