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.
One site per project
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.
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.
Key differences.
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.
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.
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.
The same job, two ways.
Shipping a page for one client in Contentful, and for every client at once in the DragDrop studio.

Switching from Contentful, in three moves.
Most teams run both platforms in parallel for a week and cut over on a quiet afternoon.
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.
Rebuild with blocks
Recompose your layouts from 90+ ready-made blocks. Anything custom, a developer can rebuild as a block right inside the studio.
Point your domain
Connect your domain, SSL issues automatically, and 301 redirects carry over every ranking you’ve earned. Nothing breaks on launch day.
