## Hidden costs and limits

- The Free-to-Lite jump is €0 to €300/month with no intermediate tier. Many startups outgrow Free (25 content types, 2 locales, 2 environments) within months but struggle to justify €3,600/year for a CMS alone.
- No built-in frontend: Contentful delivers content via API only.
- Environments are limited: Free gets 2, Lite gets a few more, and Premium is custom. Each environment is a full copy of your content model, staging/preview workflows require paid environments.
- Locales are aggressively gated: Free gets 2, Lite gets 3. International sites needing 10+ languages must go Premium. There is no way to purchase additional locales on Free or Lite.
- Content types cap at 25 on Free. Complex content models (blog + landing pages + product pages + FAQs + team bios) can hit this limit quickly.
- Bandwidth overages: Free caps at 50 GB/month CDN bandwidth with no overages (hard limit). A viral blog post or media-heavy site can hit this surprisingly fast.
