We're removing the Free plan from Strapi Cloud

Strapi Cloud is discontinuing its Free plan effective July 1, 2026, due to the realization that the majority of free projects were inactive, resulting in unnecessary infrastructure costs and a subpar user experience due to performance issues. Users with existing free projects have until September 1, 2026, to upgrade to a paid plan or delete their projects, with reminders provided as the deadline approaches. The decision to remove the Free plan allows Strapi to redirect resources towards enhancing the platform for paying customers, with recent improvements including better logs, reliability enhancements, and an upcoming Observability dashboard. The company is also focusing on strengthening the Strapi CMS by improving its performance, integrating advanced AI capabilities, and expanding its enterprise features, which underscores their commitment to offering a robust, paid service.
