Strapi has announced updates to its Strapi Cloud pricing to make it simpler and more flexible, responding to customer feedback regarding the complexity and confusion of bundling CMS features with hosting. The new pricing model separates CMS features from hosting, allowing users to select a CMS plan and then add a hosting plan, which has resulted in lowered prices across all tiers. These changes include increased asset storage, unlimited database storage, and email capabilities, along with more predictable costs as projects scale. Existing customers can choose to switch to the new plans to benefit from the reduced prices and enhanced resources but may require specific licenses to retain certain CMS features. The updated pricing structure aims to make Strapi more accessible and cost-effective for various users, from individual developers to large enterprises, while maintaining transparency and control over features and resources.
