Own your content, drop the meter.
Contentful is a polished hosted CMS, priced per seat and per API call. Tangen gives you the same modeling power and a stronger AI story, self-hosted, with no meter running.
Where Tangen is different
No per-seat pricing
Add every editor, developer, and agent you want. Tangen does not charge by the head or by the API call.
Your data, your database
Content lives in your Postgres, not a vendor tenant. Export, back up, and query it however you like.
Code-first modeling
Define types in TypeScript and push them, instead of clicking a model together in a web UI you cannot diff.
AI in the box
MCP and RAG ship with Tangen. Contentful leaves retrieval and agent access to you and your budget.
Preview and roles included
Live preview, RBAC, and multiple environments are core, not higher-tier line items.
No metered API
Read as much as your traffic needs. There is no overage bill for a busy launch day.
Where Contentful may be the better fit.
We would rather you pick the right tool than oversell ours. Reach for Contentful when:
You want zero infrastructure and a vendor SLA, with the budget to match.
You need a mature integration marketplace and a global CDN out of the box.
You would rather never run a database.
Build on Tangen in the private beta.
Define a content type, push it, and query it from anywhere, with your own AI agent doing the rest. Request access and we will get you set up.
