Enterprise-grade headless CMS with a structured content model and robust API delivery
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 plan suitable for solo projects, with 10 users, 100,000 API calls and 50 GB of CDN bandwidth a month. The jump from free to the Lite plan is steep at $300/mo, so solo founders should carefully evaluate whether they will outgrow the free tier. Salesforce completed its purchase of Contentful on 1 September 2026, and the company now presents itself as part of Salesforce.
