Summary

Strapi, a popular open-source headless CMS, is transitioning to a new subscription model based on the number of admin users, which aligns with user feedback indicating that per-user pricing is more predictable and fair. The Bronze plan has no minimum user requirement, while the Silver plan requires at least five users to cover customer support costs. This change, effective September 2, 2021, aims to make Strapi more affordable for smaller teams, with existing customers given a transition period and potential discounts for larger teams with more than ten admin users. While Strapi continues to grow its customer base, including major companies like IBM and Toyota, its focus remains on empowering the broader community by offering significant features such as Content Internationalization for free in the Community Edition. The company anticipates future revenue growth from a hosted version of Strapi, while continuing to support the open-source project and expanding features in the Enterprise Edition, focusing on content collaboration, security, and analytics.
