As an actual customer, I have the opposite reaction. They are doing well and that gives me peace of mind.

Also a customer here, DatoCMS is fantastic product. We run hundreds of sites on their platform. Their team also works with you on pricing as you scale.

Not in my experience at all. Very solid product but incredibly frustrating trying to negotiate / get a bit of wiggle room in regards to pricing.

My plan auto-renewed for 2026 but it's become a priority to move everything off of Dato to another CMS for 2027.

Great product but quite onerous pricing / rates.

As a fellow bootstrapper the lack of flexibility when it came to dealing with customer service was super frustrating. I referred a few fellow founder friends to them early on but now have made it a priority to switch to an alternative.

Congrats on the 65% margins though!
