Strapi CMS
Open-Source Headless CMS
Strapi gives teams a flexible way to model content and deliver it to any frontend through REST or GraphQL APIs. The core platform is open source and free to self-host, with paid tiers adding live preview, content releases, review workflows, and SSO. It's available self-hosted or as a fully managed service through Strapi Cloud.
Pricing
As an open-source, headless CMS, it will cost you nothing to use the base, self-hosted community Strapi CMS. Growth plans and cloud-hosted Strapi can increase the price to anywhere between $45/month and over $450 per month. Additionally, planning, design, hosting and/or usage, certain kinds of storage, and web development and maintenance contribute to the total cost of ownership.

Should I Use Strapi as a CMS?
Strapi is suitable for users who enjoy a clean, uncluttered interface in their CMS, and it is tailor-made for those who wish to harness content throughout the site in such a way as to prevent duplicate content-entry efforts and complicated workarounds. Strapi delivers what is essentially a static front-end, so without needing to constantly call the database for content, page load is remarkably fast.
