The short version

  • Only Strapi has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: BugHerd priced per project rather than per organization, so agencies managing many client sites can reach $125 to $150 per month per project tier; Strapi cloud pricing is per project, not per account, so a second project doubles the bill
