Our verdict on TinaCMS

TinaCMS is an open-source, Git-backed headless CMS for developers building websites and documentation with content teams. It manages Markdown, MDX, and JSON files through Git while providing an editor interface, visual editing, real-time previews for React sites, and a GraphQL content API. Its framework integrations include Astro, Hugo, Next.js, and Jekyll, making it a fit for teams that want editorial tools without moving content out of their repository-based workflow.

Pricing follows a freemium model. The Free plan costs $0 forever and includes 2 users, 2 roles, and Community support. Team costs $24 per project per month or $290 per project per year, with 3 users, 2 roles, and Team support. Team Plus costs $41 per project per month or $490 per project per year, adding 5 users and an Editorial workflow. Business costs $249 per project per month or $2,990 per project per year, with 20 users, 3 roles, Business support, Editorial workflow, and API (Beta). Enterprise includes custom users, custom roles, Enterprise support, custom editorial workflow, and SSO.

The standout workflow is branch-based editing: TinaCMS can create branches and draft pull requests for review before content is merged into a protected GitHub branch. Preview links for editorial branches, repository-based media, external media provider support, local development, and self-hosted backend options extend that Git-centered approach. Choose TinaCMS when visual editing, Git review, and framework compatibility are central requirements. Teams seeking a simpler hosted CMS or an editor-first system outside Git workflows may prefer an alternative.
