Storyblok ranks second because it is the easiest tool here for non-developers to work in day to day. Developers define components once, and editors arrange them in the Visual Editor while seeing the live page, which cuts the back-and-forth that slows many headless projects. The free Starter plan includes 1 space, 1 seat (up to 2), 100GB traffic, 100k API requests and 2 locales, which suits testing and personal projects. Growth costs $99 per month, or $90.75 per month billed annually, and includes 5 seats (up to 10), 400GB traffic, 1M API requests, single story scheduling, SEO meta tags and integrations such as Shopify. Growth Plus at $349 per month bundles 15 seats, 1TB traffic and 10 locales. The weak spots are that GraphQL, custom roles, workflows and SSO sit on custom-priced Premium and Elite plans, and extra locales on Growth cost $20 each, so multilingual teams should price the higher tiers.
