Best Headless CMS
Pick Sanity for the best balance of free tier, visual editing and fair per-seat pricing. Choose Storyblok if marketers edit visually, or Payload if developers want to self-host inside Next.js.

Contentful alternatives
Stay with Contentful only if you need its enterprise governance and SLAs. For most teams leaving it, Sanity is the best all-round alternative, with Strapi as the open-source pick.
