About
Cosmic is an AI-powered headless CMS that exposes content management through a hosted dashboard, REST API, SDKs, CLI tools, and agent workflows. The platform supports content objects, media, buckets, team collaboration, and deployment-oriented workflows for building and shipping web apps.
The free plan includes 1 bucket, 2 team members, 1,000 objects, 1 agent, 1 workflow, 300k input AI tokens and 300k output AI tokens per month, 10k non-cached API requests per month, 100k cached API requests per month, 1GB API bandwidth per month, 1,000 media files, 1GB media storage, 1M media requests per month, 1GB media bandwidth per month, and 100K analytics events per month with 30 days retention.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is genuinely usable, not just a demo: it includes a project, a bucket, two team members, basic AI/automation, and monthly allowances for API, media, and analytics. Compared with the $49 Builder plan, it delivers roughly a third of the paid plan’s practical capacity, so about $15/month is a fair buyer’s estimate. No credit card is required, and the offer is free forever but still capped, which keeps the value well below the first paid tier.
