About
Contentful is a hosted headless content platform where editors manage content in a web app and developers pull it through fast CDN-backed APIs. The free plan includes up to 10 users, one Starter Space, 100,000 API calls per month, and 50 GB of CDN bandwidth, enforced as hard caps. Content is delivered through the Content Delivery API, with a separate Preview API for draft content. It is a solid pick for small marketing sites and blogs that want a polished editor without self-hosting.
