Lower prices and greater flexibility with improved Strapi Cloud pricing

Based on your feedback, we're excited to announce updated plans to make Strapi Cloud pricing simpler and more flexible.

• Hosting made simple – Strapi Cloud is now purely about hosting, so you can deploy Strapi faster without without bundled CMS constraints. Just choose the right CMS plan, then pick your Cloud plan—it’s that simple.
• Pricing that works for you – We’ve made Strapi Cloud more affordable, so you can start building without budget headaches. Scale when you’re ready, no surprises.
• More storage, fewer limits – Increased asset storage, no CMS Seat and entry limits, and unlimited email allow you to grow without hitting roadblocks (our Fair Use Policy applies).

In this post, you’ll learn why we updated our pricing and what’s changing.

Making Strapi more accessible

Our mission is simple: Empower millions of people to create and share content anywhere. To do that, we want to ensure Strapi Cloud is accessible and cost-effective for everyone, from solo developers to enterprise teams. We’ve heard your feedback—bundling CMS features with hosting was confusing, and pricing needed to be clearer. This update simplifies the decision-making process, so you can simply choose a CMS plan and then decide on hosting.

As your projects scale, your infrastructure should scale with you—without unexpected costs. The new pricing structure ensures predictable pricing at every stage of your growth. You now choose exactly what you need. Pick your CMS plan, then add hosting if you need it. By separating CMS features from hosting, we’ve been able to lower prices across all plans, provide larger asset storage, and offer unlimited databases and emails (subject to fair use policy).

New names, lower rates, and more resources

What this means for you

Getting started with Strapi Cloud is now simpler than ever. Just choose your CMS plan to fit your project, then select the Cloud hosting plan that meets your deployment needs. No more second-guessing what's included.

If you're an existing customer, your current plan remains unchanged unless you decide to switch. If you choose to migrate, you’ll gain access to lower pricing and improved storage limits, but you may lose access to some CMS features. To retain those features, you would need to purchase a Growth license.If you're an existing customer, your current plan remains unchanged unless you decide to switch.

For agencies, the new pricing structure makes collaboration easier with clearer costs and predictable billing. You also get more control over features and resources, so you only pay for what your projects require.

We put a lot of thought into these pricing updates, and we hope they make choosing the right plan for your project easier while ensuring you get the best possible value. We aim to strike the right balance—offering stability while making thoughtful improvements based on your feedback. If you have thoughts, suggestions, or questions about these updates, we’d love to hear from you.

Frequently asked questions

• Do I need to change my current plan, or will it update automatically?
  Existing customers remain on their current plan unless they choose to migrate. If you switch, you’ll benefit from lower prices and increased storage but may need a Growth or Enterprise license to retain certain CMS features.
• What happens if I exceed the "fair use policy" for unlimited database entries and emails?
  While Strapi Cloud offers unlimited entries and emails under fair use, excessive usage that impacts system performance may require upgrading to a higher plan. More details on fair use can be found in the legal documentation.
• Can I use Strapi Cloud without a paid CMS plan, or do I need to subscribe to both?
  Strapi Cloud is now purely for hosting, meaning you need to select a CMS plan separately (Community, Growth, or Enterprise) before choosing a Cloud hosting plan.
