Strapi

The company operates an open-core software model. The core headless CMS is distributed under an open-source MIT licence to drive adoption among developers and organisations needing a flexible API-first content back end. On top of this, it offers commercial Enterprise and Growth licences that add features such as SSO, advanced workflows, audit logs, higher support levels and SLAs, creating value for enterprises with compliance and reliability requirements. It further extends value by providing a managed hosting platform (PaaS) specifically for its CMS, removing the need for customers to operate their own infrastructure while integrating deployment, environments and backups. Revenue is generated from recurring subscription fees for cloud hosting plans, commercial CMS licences and enterprise contracts sold directly and via marketplaces such as AWS Marketplace.

Strapi Solutions SAS is a French software company that develops an open-source, API-first headless content management system built on Node.js, along with a managed cloud hosting platform and an enterprise edition. The core software is offered under an open-source licence and is used by development teams to structure, manage and deliver digital content across web, mobile and other channels through REST and GraphQL APIs.

The company monetises through an open-core model: advanced CMS capabilities and enterprise features are sold under commercial licences, while a separate managed hosting service offers tiered paid plans. Its customers are primarily developers, product teams, and organisations ranging from small teams to large enterprises that require a customisable, self-hosted or managed headless CMS, including those needing enterprise-grade security, single sign-on, audit logs and support.
