CloudCannon review
A full editorial layer for teams managing static sites through Git.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
CloudCannon is a Git-based visual CMS for static websites, built for agencies, in-house web teams, marketers, developers, and larger organizations. It connects to GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket repositories while giving content teams visual, content, data, and source editing interfaces. Changes are committed back to Git, keeping editorial work within developer-managed version control workflows. The platform supports static site hosting, external hosting, automatic SSL, structured content, multilingual sites, and API access.
Its pricing covers distinct levels of editorial control. Lite costs $10 per month and includes unlimited sites and default permissions, but the plan is marked Partners Only. Standard costs $55 per month or $49 per month when billed annually, adding Git syncing, visual editing, and standard support alongside unlimited sites and default permissions. Team costs $350 per month or $300 per month billed annually, with advanced editing workflows, custom permissions, content scheduling, advanced branching workflows, deploy previews, and single sign-on. Enterprise adds advanced compliance and security requirements and professional services, with custom pricing.
CloudCannon’s strongest fit is for teams that need more than a basic content editor: publishing workflows can include previews, reviews, pull requests, and branch publishing, while collections, schemas, structured inputs, and custom configuration support controlled content models. Integrations include Cloudinary, Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, Cloudflare R2, DigitalOcean Spaces, Google Cloud Storage, Tenovos, Weglot, Crowdin, Lokalise, IFTTT, and Make. Its CLI, TypeScript SDK, and REST API extend the platform for technical teams. Choose it when Git-based governance and full editorial workflows matter; teams seeking a free CMS or simpler publishing setup should look elsewhere.
