LUNO is Backend Platform for the AI Era.

LUNO vs Contentful

Contentful is the enterprise headless CMS benchmark. LUNO competes as a Backend Platform with MCP-first ops and SMB-friendly per-site pricing — not as a cheaper Contentful clone.

Why

Why people compare

Teams look past Contentful when seat/space cost, GraphQL write limits, or missing agent surfaces block shipping.

Who

Who each is for

  • LUNO

    Product and agency teams that need humans + agents on one backend with transparent per-site/org pricing.

  • Contentful

    Enterprises standardized on Contentful’s content model and multi-language SDKs.

  • When not to choose LUNO

    If Contentful is already the org standard and switching cost dominates, stay — unless agents must share the control plane.

Migrate

Migration posture

Map content types carefully, migrate via APIs, keep presentation apps, then cut over publish flows to LUNO.

FAQ

FAQ

  • How is LUNO cheaper than Contentful?

    LUNO prices per site/org from $0–$149/site and $299/org Agency — not enterprise CMS seats/spaces. Verify current Contentful quotes on their site.

  • Does LUNO replace Contentful for enterprises?

    Sometimes for multi-site agencies and AI-operated backends. Not when you need Contentful’s exact enterprise workflow lock-in.

  • GraphQL writable?

    LUNO emphasizes REST + Agent/MCP paths. Contentful GraphQL is often read-oriented; confirm current vendor docs.
