Overview

Marble is a headless CMS for blog posts and media files. Content is written in its editor and pulled into a site through an HTTP API, with images and videos stored in the same place and served from a global CDN. It also sends webhooks when content changes and shows readability scores with AI-generated writing suggestions.

Best for: Developers who want a low-cost headless CMS for a blog and its media, not a full content platform.
Pricing: Free tier, then $5/month for Hobby and $20/month for Pro; a yearly billing option is offered but its rates are not shown.
Runs on: WebCLI
