Continue to About ↓- What it does
- Strapi is an open-source (MIT-licensed) headless CMS built in JavaScript/TypeScript on Node.js: teams model content in an admin UI and Strapi auto-generates REST and GraphQL APIs that websites, mobile apps, and other clients consume.
More detail
- It can be self-hosted for free or run on Strapi Cloud, with paid Growth and Enterprise tiers adding collaboration, governance, and support features.
- Best for
- Developer-led teams that want an API-first, self-hostable, code-customizable content backend, and organizations that need data ownership and residency control.
More detail
- It also suits content teams who want a friendly editor (Blocks editor, media library, drafts, i18n) on top of that backend.
- Pricing
- Community edition is free forever under MIT, self-hosted, with unlimited entries, API calls, and CMS users.
More detail
- Growth is $45/month including 3 users, with extra users at $15/month each
- it bundles Strapi AI Growth at 1,000 credits/month with extra credits at $1.50 per 100, plus Live Preview, Releases,
- Main limitation
- Teams that want a zero-code, all-in-one site builder with themes and a hosted frontend, since Strapi is headless and the frontend must be built and hosted separately.
More detail
- Also a poor fit for buyers who need SSO or audit workflows cheaply, or who don't want to operate Node.js and database infrastructure.
