## 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.

## Pros

- Free and MIT, no seats, self-hosted inside your Nuxt site
- GitHub and GitLab, with Google sign-in for editors
- Live preview of the real site while editing

## Cons

Skip it if one of these is a deal-breaker.

- Nuxt with Nuxt Content only, SSR deployment required
- No review step; commits go straight to the branch
- Young as an open-source module, roadmap still open

## Pricing

Free and open source (MIT); the hosted subscription was discontinued.
