Source available (?) and licenses get expensive quick it looks like (?)

When I last did my survey of what I could use as a CMS I ran into this, looked at the licensing and walked away quickly.

But I may be wrong since I didn't do any more research, .

Source available yes. There is platform licensing starting at $7 per month per site. Prices are comparable to Wordpress + Jetstream + ACF which is functionality you get out of the box with Statamic.

The price of $7 license is only available at a 25 site minimum that makes the minimum cost $175 per month around $2100 yer year.

For a pro license it's $275 upfront with 1 year of updates per site.

That is damn exception from my point of view.

You can use Pods for free on WordPress which is now a better choice than ACF in my opinion. But ACF has a huge marketshare and is better supported.

I mean not sure about JetStream, it seems to be Laravel scaffolding and open source.

Do you mean JetPack? If so I have not used that in a very long time. It had become very bloated.

There are a lot of other choices ut there som that cost less.
