Contentstack ranks tenth because most of its depth sits in the Enterprise tier, but its entry plans are now easy to try. The free plan has no expiration and includes 1 production stack, 3 users, 100K API calls, 100 GB of bandwidth, 10 content types, 1K entries and 2 locales, plus the headless CMS, Visual Editor, Brand Kit, Agent OS and Launch hosting. Build costs $29 per month and adds a custom domain, 250K API calls, 250 GB of bandwidth and pay-as-you-go overages. Growth costs $299 per month with 10 users, 1M API calls, 1 TB of bandwidth, custom workflows, 2 custom roles and email support, and extra users cost $25 per user per month. Enterprise adds the Lytics CDP, personalization, Flows for omnichannel orchestration, a choice of AWS, Azure or GCP data centers and a 99.5%+ uptime SLA. Small teams will hit the 3-user limit fast, and the step from Build to Growth is steep.
