If you’re looking for a flexible, modern CMS that gives content editors room to move, without overwhelming them with complexity, Flotiq might be exactly what you need. But before you hit “Create Account” let us show you how to start smart.

New to Flotiq headless CMS? You can start using Flotiq for free by clicking “Start for free” on any button at flotiq.com. This gives you 14 days of full access to the Basic plan - no credit card required.

Here’s why the Basic plan is the best place to begin, especially if you’re a content creator.

The Basic Plan: small name, big potential

The name might sound modest, but Flotiq’s Basic plan is packed with features that support real content teamwork:

  • Up to 3 users - perfect for small teams, and you can easily add more seats if your team grows
  • Use up to 5 plugins at once
  • Choose from 15+ plugins in our Marketplace
  • Upload 2 custom plugins tailored to your workflow

How Plugins work in Flotiq

You have 5 plugin slots available at any time. Think of it like a power strip - you can plug in any combination of tools from our plugin toolbox, and switch them whenever your workflow changes.

Need SEO tools today and live preview tomorrow? No problem.
Just unplug one and plug in the other - no extra steps, no downtime. You’re not locked into a fixed setup, and you’re never overwhelmed with too many options at once. It’s your environment, your priorities, your pace.

No bloat. No overload. Just what you need, when you need it.

Bonus: Bring (or build) your own plugins!
Have a developer on your team? Even better. With the Basic plan, you can upload 2 custom plugins to fit your workflow — whether it’s a content approval flow, translation support, or something built just for your team.

Meet your friendly guide

Right after you log in for the first time, we’ll ask you to complete a quick setup form to finish configuring your account.  It only takes a moment, and right after that, you’ll meet our cheerful onboarding mascot (no name yet, but we might ask for your help choosing one soon!).

He’ll ask if you’d like to create a Demo Space, and we recommend saying yes. This option sets up ready-to-use content types and sample entries, like blog posts or product listings, so you can dive straight into editing without needing to build everything from scratch.

You can edit, remove, or completely rebuild the demo content at any time.

Your Quick Tech Checklist

To get the most out of your trial, we suggest checking a few essentials. If you're working with a developer, share this list with them:

  • Are your content types (like Blog Post, Article, Product) defined?
  • Do you have the right plugins selected and enabled? (more info: Superpowers for Content Creators: make sure to turn them on!)
  • Is your media library connected and ready for uploads?
  • Have user roles and permissions been set?
  • Are you using the Demo Space to explore Flotiq’s structure?

Even if you’re working solo, this checklist will help you explore faster and avoid setup friction later on.

What happens after the trial?

When the 14-day trial ends, your account will automatically switch to the Free plan (unless you decide to subscribe and continue using the Basic plan). You won’t lose access to your account or content, but features like plugin usage and multi-user support will become limited.

That’s why we encourage you to make the most of your trial: test your workflow, invite teammates, try different plugins, and see how Flotiq fits into your content process.

That said, we strongly recommend continuing with the Basic plan if you’re working with a team or want to get the most out of Flotiq. It offers the right balance of flexibility, collaboration, and feature access, without unnecessary complexity.
