Contentful

Enterprise-grade headless CMS with a structured content model and robust API delivery

Visit Website Free tier (5 users), Basic from $300/mo

Contentful is a headless CMS designed for structured content that can be delivered to websites, apps, and other digital channels via API. It is widely used by larger teams and enterprises but offers a free Community tier suitable for solo projects. The jump from free to paid is steep at $300/mo, so solo founders should carefully evaluate whether they will outgrow the free tier.

What's good

  • Reliable CDN-backed content delivery with high uptime
  • Strong ecosystem of integrations and official SDKs
  • Free Community tier supports up to 5 users and 25K records

Watch out for

  • Paid plans are expensive, starting at $300/mo
  • Content modeling can feel rigid compared to alternatives like Sanity
