Introducing Yearly Plans and New Limits for Strapi Cloud

Strapi has introduced new yearly billing options for its Strapi Cloud plans, offering a 20% discount compared to monthly billing, which aims to simplify budgeting and reduce administrative overhead for customers. This new pricing model retains monthly plan options for teams needing flexibility, while grandfathering existing customers into their current rates. Alongside the billing updates, Strapi has refined API request limits for its Free and Essential plans, decreasing the limits to ensure platform sustainability and optimal performance. These changes are designed to align with how each plan is typically used and to signal when a project is ready for the next stage of development. While current Essential plan subscribers will maintain their existing limits, new subscriptions will adopt the revised limits. Strapi continues to enhance its platform capabilities, focusing on improving the developer experience with features like enhanced logging and monitoring, as part of its 2026 roadmap.
