Because it's built for the AI era, not just the browser era. Popcorn CMS speaks Model Context Protocol (MCP) — the emerging open standard that lets AI assistants connect directly to your content as a tool. Instead of clicking through an admin panel, you can read and update your site through natural language conversations in the AI tools you already use, like Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT. Ask it to "add a pricing page" or "update the hero heading" and the change happens through a secure connection. Read access uses scoped API keys, write operations require an authenticated editor session, and every AI action is audit-logged — so your content stays firmly under your control.

Not in the drag-and-drop sense. At its core Popcorn CMS is a backend platform that manages your dynamic data, content, forms, and media and serves them via a REST API — so you can keep whatever frontend you already have. But you can also go further: import an existing site, make every page content-manageable, then publish and host it here under your own domain. One subscription instead of a separate host, CMS, and form tool.

Yes — this is one of the biggest reasons people switch. From the Starter plan up, you can import an existing site, turn its pages into content your team can edit without a developer, then re-publish it on Popcorn-hosted sites and point your own domain at it. That replaces the stack of separate subscriptions you'd otherwise pay for hosting, content management, and forms.

The backend tools you've been stitching together — Airtable for structured data, Notion for team-editable content, Supabase for a database, Typeform for submissions — plus separate hosting if you publish your site with us. Popcorn CMS consolidates all of that into one platform with one login and one bill.

Yes. That's a core use case. Your team can update content, manage directory listings, and review form submissions through the UI without needing a developer for every change. We'll tell you if someone else in your team is working at the same time as you.

Through REST APIs. Your frontend fetches content, data records, and media from Popcorn CMS endpoints. It works with any stack that can make network requests for both loading and saving. Prefer not to manage a frontend at all? Import and host your site with us instead. See our How It Works page for a visual walkthrough.

Starter covers site import and analysis, design shuffle, hosting, and content management for a single site (5 pages, 5 content blocks per page, up to 5 forms). Pro is the bigger step up: up to 5 sites plus the full AI suite — AI site design generation from your content, AI image generation for media galleries, AI form generation, dynamic content records and directories, address-to-map geocoding, spreadsheet imports, multi-user collaboration, and priority support.

Absolutely. Start with the free 7-day demo to validate fit, then move to Starter or Pro when you are ready for full-time usage.

Any time, in a couple of clicks. Open Settings → Billing in the app and choose Cancel subscription. Your plan stays active until the end of the billing period you've already paid for, so you keep full access until then — and if you change your mind before it ends, you can reactivate with one click. No emails, no phone calls, no lock-in.
