About
Squidex is an open source headless CMS that exposes content through a REST API and a GraphQL endpoint. The platform supports content versioning, workflow rules, integrations triggered by events, backup and restore, and deployment through Docker, binaries, or Kubernetes Helm charts.
The cloud pricing page lists a free Starter plan with 20,000 API calls, 2 GB traffic, 500 MB storage, and 2 contributors. Paid cloud plans add higher monthly quotas, while the software can also be self-hosted under the MIT license with all features included.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is a capped but genuinely usable starter offering: it includes monthly API, traffic, storage, and contributor limits plus CDN access, so it has real practical value rather than being just a demo. Compared with the cheapest paid Cloud plan at about $29/month, it delivers roughly 17% of that plan’s monthly capability, so a fair buyer-style estimate is about $5/month. No credit card is required to start, but the powered-by label and usage caps keep it well below the paid tiers.

- 20,000 API calls per month.
- 2 GB traffic included.
