Open source headless CMS with REST and GraphQL APIs
Updated
Strapi is an open source headless CMS for developers who build API-first content backends in JavaScript. Teams define content types and expose them through REST and GraphQL APIs. The Community edition is free under the MIT License, with paid Growth and Enterprise editions.
Developers install Strapi, model content types in the admin panel and consume the content over REST or GraphQL from any frontend. Editors manage entries in the admin, and teams add Growth or Enterprise features as workflow needs grow.
JavaScript developers, agencies and product teams choose Strapi when they want to own their backend and avoid vendor lock-in. Enterprise adds support options and offline licensing for regulated teams.
Community is free forever under the MIT License, with community support. Growth is $45 per month with 3 users and extra users at $15 per month each, and a 30-day free trial of Growth features on a self-hosted project. Enterprise is quoted by sales. SSO is a $150 per month add-on on Growth, plus $50 per user. Prices exclude local taxes.
The vendor's self-hosted pricing page does not name third-party integrations; it lists REST and GraphQL APIs. Strapi Cloud has its own pricing page.
Contentful is a hosted headless CMS with managed infrastructure, while Strapi can be self-hosted. Sanity offers real-time collaboration and a customizable studio. Webflow combines a visual site builder with a CMS, and WordPress VIP is an enterprise-managed WordPress.
