Contentful

Contentful has a Free plan at $0 with 10 users, 2 roles, 2 locales, 100,000 API calls a month and 50 GB of CDN bandwidth a month. It uses hard caps with no overages, and Contentful says it is for testing and learning only, not commercial use. Commercial projects start on Lite at $300 a month.

At Contentful's published Lite price of $300 a month, $1,000 covers about 3.3 months, if our listing's credit applies. A year of Lite costs $3,600, so year one would come to $2,600 before any overages.

Lite includes 1M API calls and 100 GB of CDN bandwidth a month. Contentful bills $5 per extra 1 million API calls and $0.15 per extra GB of bandwidth. A larger Lite Space costs $850 a month on top of Lite.

Every plan includes one Starter Space with 25 content types, 2 environments and 10,000 records. The Lite Space add-on raises this to 50 content types, 4 environments and 50,000 records.

Yes. Contentful offers a GraphQL Content API next to its REST Content Delivery API. Both allow 55 uncached requests per second by default, and one GraphQL query can request up to 11,000 entities. Cached CDN requests do not count toward the rate limit.

We did not find a startup credit program on contentful.com in November 2026. The $1,000 in credits is a term of our Your Accelerator Premium listing for startups with complex content needs, and there is no promo code. Confirm it when you redeem.
