About Storyblok
Storyblok is a hosted headless CMS built around components and a visual editor. Developers define reusable blocks and connect their front end, built with frameworks like Next.js, Nuxt or Astro, and editors then see the real page in a preview pane while they add, reorder and edit those blocks. That combination of structured content and what-you-see editing is its main selling point for marketing teams who find pure form-based headless CMSs hard to use. It also offers localisation, workflows, scheduling, asset management, AI features and an app marketplace. A free Starter plan covers small projects, and paid plans are priced per month with monthly quotas on users, traffic and API requests, plus custom enterprise tiers. The trade-offs are that pricing rises steeply between tiers, the visual editor needs front-end setup to work well, and complex content models can feel cramped by the component approach. It is a web app with no self-hosted option.
Best for: Marketing teams that want visual page editing on top of a headless setup.
