Contentstack now has self-serve plans. Start free, connect your coding assistant through MCP, and expand as you're ready. Create an account in minutes, no sales call or credit card. Upgrade as your project grows. 

Most software evaluations now start long before anyone talks to a vendor. A developer tries a tool in a terminal, or asks an AI assistant to set one up, and the shortlist gets made right there. We want Contentstack in that moment. So anyone can now create a free account at contentstack.com and start building, with no sales call and no credit card.

When a project outgrows the free plan, you can move to a paid plan from inside your account and pay by card. When you need more than that, our team is a conversation away.

Your first project

Create an account, pick a Kickstart starter project and deploy it with Launch, our front-end hosting. You'll have a working site that pulls content through Contentstack's APIs, and a content model you can shape from there. 

Pick the plan that fits the project

  • Free, $0: for developers trying Contentstack, side projects and proofs of concept.
  • Build, $29/mo: for freelancers and small teams shipping smaller sites.
  • Growth, $299/mo: for small teams running a single production site.
  • Enterprise, talk to us: for organizations running content across teams, brands, sites or regions, with enterprise governance, security and compliance, uptime SLAs and a designated Customer Success Manager.

Free gives you room for a real project, with up to 1,000 entries and Launch hosting included. Build caps overages, so a traffic spike won't turn into a surprise bill. The full limits for each plan are on our pricing page.

Start from the tools you already use

You can connect Claude, Cursor or another coding assistant to Contentstack through our MCP server and Agent Skills, then work with your content from the same place you write code. Our Build with AI guides show how to set it up. You choose the model and the editor, and Contentstack works with either.

Built to grow with you

Start on the same core CMS that powers global brands, and add the capabilities your organization needs as you scale. 

Evaluating Contentstack for a larger organization? Start your research early with a free account to explore content modeling, APIs and visual building, then talk to our team about what your organization needs to be successful. Enterprise adds granular roles and permissions, choice of cloud provider and region, uptime SLA and 24/5+ support.

Help when you need it

Every plan includes our documentation, Contentstack Academy courses and the developer community on Discord. Growth adds email support. Enterprise customers get 24/5+ support.
