Contentful review

Contentful has the broadest feature set here but ranks sixth because its pricing jumps sharply after the free tier. The free plan includes 10 users, 2 roles, 2 locales, 100K API calls and 50 GB of CDN bandwidth a month, with no overages. The Lite plan costs $300 per month and adds 20 users, 3 locales, 1M API calls, 100 GB of bandwidth, comments, task management, scheduled publishing and live collaboration, with paid overages allowed. Developers get a long list of APIs, including content delivery, preview, management, image, sync and GraphQL, plus client libraries, a CLI and an App Framework for custom apps. Enterprise plans add custom roles, SSO, SCIM, EU data residency, multi-region delivery, up to a 99.99% uptime SLA, and add-ons for personalization, AI Actions and Studio. For small teams, though, the $300 step from Free to Lite is much higher than Sanity, Prismic or Storyblok.
