About Strapi
Strapi is a content creation tool for producing content. In its own words: Strapi is the next-gen headless CMS, open-source, JavaScript/TypeScript, enabling content-rich experiences to be created, managed and exposed to any device.
What the free plan gives you
Free and open source self-hosted CMS.
Because Strapi is open source, the ceiling is your own infrastructure rather than a billing page. Self-hosting costs nothing but your time, and a hosted plan is there if you would rather not run it.
What it does
Strapi covers content Type Builder, custom Fields, customize everything, self-host anywhere, compliant by default.
When you would pay
You may never need to. The free tier is not a funnel step here, so the sensible move is to use it until something it genuinely cannot do forces the question.
We list Strapi because the free plan was checked against its own pricing page, not because a vendor asked. If it has changed, tell us and we will re-check it.

Pros & Cons
The free plan in practice
What you can actually do on Strapi's free plan (Free and open source self-hosted CMS), where it stops, and when it's worth paying.
When to upgrade to a paid plan
Strapi is open source, so self-hosting is free and unlimited. The only reason to pay is convenience: choose a hosted or cloud option when you'd rather not run and maintain it yourself, or need official support.
