Hygraph review

Hygraph ranks eighth and stands out for content federation. Its GraphQL API can pull in data from remote sources, so a product page can combine editorial content from Hygraph with prices or inventory from another service in one query. The free Hobby plan includes 3 seats, 2 locales, 10 components, 1,000 entries, 500,000 API calls, 100 GB of asset traffic, unlimited asset storage, live preview and commenting. Growth starts at $199 per month and raises the limits to 10 seats, 3 locales, 10,000 entries, 1M API calls and 500 GB of traffic, with one remote source, two environments, 14-day version retention and email support. Enterprise adds scheduled publishing, SSO, custom roles, taxonomies, audit logs and custom SLAs, and Hygraph offers a 30-day Enterprise trial without a credit card. The main drawback is the gap between a tight free tier and a $199 first paid plan that still lacks scheduled publishing.
