Adapto CMS is a framework-agnostic REST API headless CMS with bundled Media CDN, built-in i18n, and unlimited custom collections. Every feature ships on every plan โ webhooks, localization, image optimization, custom roles โ with flat-rate pricing that scales by usage, not headcount or feature access.
Plans start free (no credit card) and go up to Professional at $449/mo for 750K records and 1.5M API calls. No per-seat charges, no per-locale add-ons, no Contact Sales gate. Built for dev teams using Astro, Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Remix, or any stack that speaks HTTP.

Adapto CMS's answer
Adapto CMS bundles content API, media CDN, image optimization, and localization into a single platform with flat-rate pricing. Every feature ships on every plan โ including the free tier. There are no per-seat charges, no per-locale add-ons, and no feature gates. Most headless CMS platforms start cheap, then layer on costs for webhooks, localization, extra contributors, or media delivery. Adapto replaces that entire stack โ CMS, CDN, image pipeline, and translation management โ with one API, one dashboard, and one predictable invoice.
Adapto CMS's answer
Three reasons: pricing transparency, platform consolidation, and zero infrastructure overhead. Competitors like Contentful and Storyblok charge per seat, per locale, and gate features behind tiers โ so your bill grows with your team size and feature needs, not just usage. With Adapto, a 20-person team pays the same as a solo developer on the same plan. The bundled Media CDN eliminates the need for separate Cloudinary or S3 contracts. And because Adapto is fully managed, there are no plugins to break, no version upgrades to manage, and no staging environments to maintain โ unlike self-hosted options like Strapi or Payload.
Adapto CMS's answer
Developer-led teams building content-driven websites and applications with modern frontend frameworks โ Astro, Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Remix. This includes freelance developers, small studios, startups, and agencies who need a production-grade headless CMS without enterprise sales calls or unpredictable invoices. Secondary audiences include non-technical content editors who benefit from the clean dashboard, and CTOs or technical leads evaluating CMS options where cost predictability matters.
Adapto CMS's answer
Adapto CMS was built by a team of developers who kept getting burned by the CMS platforms they were paying for. Renewal calls where the price doubled. Three or four vendors duct-taped together for content, media, and delivery. Features locked behind tiers the moment a project actually needed them. After years of building client projects on platforms that prioritized enterprise upsells over developer experience, the team decided to build the CMS they wished they could buy โ one platform, one API, one price, with every feature included from day one.
Adapto CMS's answer
Adapto CMS is built on a modern cloud-native stack. The API layer delivers standard REST with JSON responses. Media delivery runs through a managed CDN with edge-based image transformation. The platform is framework-agnostic on the consumer side โ any stack that can make HTTP requests and parse JSON works out of the box, with a TypeScript SDK available for teams that want type safety. The infrastructure is fully managed with automated scaling, redundancy, and a published 99.9% uptime SLA.
