Lets a non-technical partner edit a page and watch the preview change. Storyblok is a headless CMS known for its visual editor, which lets editors see changes in a live preview while developers build the frontend in their own framework. The free Starter plan includes 1 space, 1 user seat (up to 2), 100GB of traffic and 100k API requests a month, 2 locales and 25k AI credits. Growth costs $99 a month with 5 seats included and 1M API requests, and Growth Plus costs $349 a month with 15 seats and 4M requests. G2 reviewers praise the visual editor. Price is the common complaint: G2 lists Expensive with 20 mentions, a G2 reviewer called the jump from two users to five a $100 a month leap, and Trustpilot reviewers describe pricing changes from April 2025. It suits agencies and teams that value editor experience and can absorb the price.

👎 Watch out

−G2 lists Expensive with 20 mentions and Pricing Issues with 16 mentions among the cons.
−A G2 reviewer said the leap from two users to five users being $100 a month is hard on a small company.
−A G2 reviewer said the price went up twice during two years of use.
−Trustpilot reviewers describe pricing changes from April 2025 that affected existing customers and call per-seat pricing frustrating for growing teams.
−The free Starter plan allows only 1 seat included and up to 2.
−A G2 reviewer said the pricing can make relatively basic operational features feel artificially restricted.

The catch

The free Starter plan includes one seat and allows up to two. The next step, Growth at $99 a month, includes five seats. A G2 reviewer called the jump from two users to five a $100 a month leap that was hard on a small company. Pricing is the loudest complaint across G2 and Trustpilot. Reviewers describe repeated increases and pricing changes in April 2025 that hit existing customers, and some dislike charging per seat rather than by content volume. These are individual accounts and I did not verify the details, but they are consistent enough to plan for rises. The visual editor gets consistent praise, and several reviewers say they would otherwise recommend it.
