Okno vs Strapi
Pick Strapi for a team that wants a self-hosted content API and has someone to run the server. Otherwise you are paying €470 a year for what Okno never charges more than €200 a year for, in your own repository, with nothing to run.
| What is being compared | Strapi | Okno |
|---|---|---|
| Content lives | On their servers | In your repository, next to the code |
| If you leave | Export it, then rebuild elsewhere | Nothing to move. You already have it all |
| Edits on the live page That popover is inside the admin panel, and only on the paid Growth and Enterprise plans. | No | Yes |
| Each extra editor | €157 a year past 3 | Free, however many |
| Caps | None on this plan | None |
| Free | Not a live site | Everything, but on your own machine only |
| You pay | Every month, or run it yourself | Only on a day you edit the live site, max €200 a year |
Where Strapi wins
- Yes: Open source under MIT, free to self-host with no licence
- Yes: You own the API layer and can extend it
- Yes: A large plugin ecosystem
What it costs
Strapi costs about 3.9× as much for that site.
Or run Strapi yourself

- Yes: MIT licensed. The software is free, with no conditions and no threshold.
- No: You supply the server, and pay for it every month.
- No: Upgrades, patches, backups and downtime are your job.
- No: Hand the site to a client and the know-how leaves with you.
- Yes: Okno has nothing to run. It is a build step in the site you already deploy.
