/ 5

Our score

Flotiq is a managed headless CMS that generates a REST API, a GraphQL API and SDKs from your content model. It has a free plan and paid plans by usage limits. It is not open source.

Overview

Flotiq is a managed headless CMS. Developers define object types, and Flotiq generates a REST API with an OpenAPI schema, a GraphQL API, SDKs and a Postman collection from them. It also has a full-text search API. The About page says an early version appeared in 2017 as a visual content builder, the product turned headless in 2018, and the public launch came in 2019.

Editors get version history, content scheduling, live preview, draft and public modes and forms. Plugins add multilingual content and DeepL translation. The docs say Flotiq is not open source, though it publishes tools and website boilerplates under the MIT licence. The Custom plan adds on-premise and hybrid deployment.
