Nuxt Studio
Best free option if the site is Nuxt
What Nuxt Studio is
Nuxt Studio went open source and free in 2026: a Nuxt module that mounts an editor at /_studio on your own production site, edits the Nuxt Content files in the repository with a live preview, and commits to GitHub or GitLab. Editors sign in with GitHub, GitLab, or Google, and there are no seats to buy. The former hosted subscription was cancelled for everyone.
It is Nuxt with Nuxt Content only, the site has to be deployed with server-side rendering, and publishing commits straight to the configured branch: pull-request generation is still an open roadmap item, so there is no review step yet.
Why it is number 11
Free and MIT, lives inside the Nuxt site. Nuxt Content only, and the site must run with SSR.
