Fairpage vs Contentful
One website, or many channels
Fairpage is a Contentful alternative for one website, with visual editing and hosting built in. Stay on Contentful when one body of content feeds several sites and apps, in many languages, under a company’s rules. Move to Fairpage when it is one website: its pages, the CMS, hosting, forms and visitor counts come together for $99 a year, about $8 a month, edited on the page.

Fairpage
$99a year, Plus

Text and pictures are edited on the page itself, inside its design.

Your coding agent builds the site
It writes the pages and the collections’ schema in a folder, and pushes.
What changes when you move
Editors change the page, not a form
Contentful is a headless CMS: an editor fills in an entry’s fields and sees the page in a preview, once a developer has given the front end a draft preview, and the Live Preview SDK for live updates and click-to-edit.
On Fairpage the draft site is the visual editor, with nothing to set up. Click a listing’s text to change it, replace a photo, or select the listing and say what should change. A change the AI makes waits in a draft until it is published.
The schema lives with the site
Contentful’s content model is built as content types in its web app or by migration scripts run against its API, and the front end reads them through the API.
On Fairpage your coding agent writes the content model in _content/schema.yaml, a collection at a time, beside the pages that show it. Content builds the form from it, and a page reads the rows as content.listings.
Room to grow, with no bandwidth or API meter
Contentful Lite holds 10,000 records, entries and assets together, in 25 content types, for up to 20 people. Past 100 GB of bandwidth or a million API calls a month it bills by the gigabyte and the million, uncapped; a Lite Space for more is $850 a month. A site with 500,000 page views a month, its pictures served from Contentful, uses some 250 to 400 GB: about $23 to $45 a month past Lite’s 100 GB, or from $4,100 a year with Vercel Pro, before its charges past a million requests a month.
Plus holds 100,000 entries in as many collections as the site needs, for up to 100 people, and its pages are served as pages, about 500,000 views a month, so nothing is counted by the call or sold by the gigabyte.
Forms and visitor counts come with it
Contentful Lite has neither: a site on it adds a form service, and counts visits with its host’s analytics (Vercel’s is metered) or another service.
On Fairpage a form on any page keeps its entries, mails them to you and can send them on to Mailchimp, Zapier or a webhook. Visits are counted on the site itself, without cookies or a banner.
