About
Contentful is a headless content management platform that stores structured content in spaces and exposes it through APIs and developer tools. The pricing page lists a Free Platform plan with 10 users, 2 roles, 2 locales, 100K API calls per month, and 50 GB of CDN bandwidth per month, plus one included Starter Space.
The free offering is aimed at teams evaluating the platform or running small projects. It includes core content management features, structured content, developer tools, and editorial workflows, while higher tiers add more users, locales, collaboration features, and premium products such as Personalization, Studio, and AI Actions.

Free Tier Value
The pricing page explicitly lists a Free plan at $0/forever with included entitlements: 10 users, 2 roles, 2 locales, 100K API calls/month, 50 GB/month CDN bandwidth, 1 Starter Space, structured content, developer tools, and editorial experience. The next paid plan is Lite at $300/month, but the free tier is not a trial or credit and has concrete caps, so the conservative recurring value signal is $0/month rather than prorating against Lite. No page text explicitly states no credit card is required, so that is left false.
