Free-tier comparisons

MailerLite wins for most builders because its free tier is much less cramped, with more subscribers, more monthly sends, more landing pages, and a built-in website path before you pay.

Hygraph wins for most builders who want a broader free CMS tier with more headroom on seats, requests, and workflow features, while Storyblok wins if you specifically want the visual editor and a simpler starter package.

Fillout wins for most builders who want a generous free form tool with clear upgrade pricing, while Jotform wins only if you need a broader feature ecosystem or may need HIPAA and enterprise controls later.

Cloudflare wins for most builders because its free tier is broader and easier to start with, while CloudFront is better only if you need AWS-native delivery with a clear path to heavier paid allowances.
