Contentful vs DragDrop

Contentful is a mature, well-documented headless CMS that big content teams trust. You bring the frontend, the hosting, and a healthy budget. DragDrop bundles the editor, the hosting, and your domain into one product with plain per-site pricing in euros.

Contentful

One site per project

DragDrop StudioDragDrop

Many sites, one platform

TL;DR

Contentful is enterprise headless. DragDrop is the whole site, at a price you can read.

Use Contentful if…

  • You are a large content organization with complex workflows.
  • Your localization pipeline is heavy and battle-tested there.
  • You already have a frontend team that wants a pure content API.
DragDrop Studio

Use DragDrop if…

  • You want one product, not a stack to assemble and maintain.
  • You want pricing published on the pricing page, in euros, per site.
  • Your editors want to see the page while they edit it.
  • Embed blocks and built-in integrations cover most needs without custom code.
Where they diverge

Key differences.

01

One product, not a stack

Contentful is one piece of a puzzle that also includes a frontend project, hosting, and deployment. DragDrop is the whole puzzle: edit, publish, done.

02

Pricing on the pricing page

DragDrop plans are public and per site: Free at €0, Starter at €9, Growth at €25, Business at €69 per month. Bigger team? Custom limits and invoicing through our contact page.

03

Editors edit, developers extend

Editors drag blocks and type on the page. Developers open blocks as code in the studio, or build new ones and publish without redeploying.

In the wild

The same job, two ways.

Shipping a page for one client in Contentful, and for every client at once in the DragDrop studio.

Migration path

Switching from Contentful, in three moves.

Most teams run both platforms in parallel for a week and cut over on a quiet afternoon.

Step 1

Bring your content

Export pages, posts, and media from Contentful. Our importer maps them onto blocks, and our team helps with the fiddly parts when you ask.

Step 2

Rebuild with blocks

Recompose your layouts from 90+ ready-made blocks. Anything custom, a developer can rebuild as a block right inside the studio.

Step 3

Point your domain

Connect your domain, SSL issues automatically, and 301 redirects carry over every ranking you’ve earned. Nothing breaks on launch day.

Want a second pair of hands? Talk to the migration team. It costs nothing to ask.
