Neleto Console Is Live — and the Free Tier Is Open
Sign up at console.neleto.io, get a real CMS, and pay us nothing. Here's why we built it that way.
Neleto Console is live at console.neleto.io, and the free tier is open for self-serve registration. Go there, create an account, pick the Free plan, and a few moments later you have your own Neleto instance running — no sales call, no card, no waiting on me.
That last part took longer to earn than I'd like to admit. The whole loop — provision a server, install the Neleto stack, issue a license, send your credentials — now runs untouched by human hands. If you've followed these build-in-public posts, you'll know that was the open seam I kept refusing to paper over on a pricing page. It's closed.
What you get on Free
One user, 1 GB of storage, and a real Neleto site — not a demo, not a sandbox that resets overnight. It runs on shared infrastructure, so there's no backup and the limits are real, but everything that makes Neleto Neleto is there: the integrated rendering and the page builder. Build your site by hand in the builder, or point Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf at the native MCP server and have it write pages for you by prompt. Both work. The AI angle is a big part of why I built this — but you don't need it to get value on day one.
When you outgrow Free, Solo is €19/mo, Business €39/mo, and Enterprise €159/mo. Paid plans add users and storage, drop the Neleto branding and offer backups; Enterprise runs on its own dedicated server. You upgrade without migrating anything by hand. (Plans and prices updated September 2026.)
Why give it away
The free tier exists for one reason: so you can actually experience Neleto before deciding anything. No demo, no sales deck, no expense approval — just a real site you can build on and judge for yourself. That's the only way I'd want to be sold a tool, so it's how we're selling this one.
And every instance, free ones included, runs on EU infrastructure by default. Your data sits under European data-protection law, not a US cloud provider's terms. For a lot of the people we talk to — agencies, public-sector teams — that's not a footnote, it's the whole reason they call.
The honest status
This is day one. The free tier is live and the self-serve flow works end to end — that's the hard part, and it's real. But the shared-tier limits are conservative on purpose while I watch how a hundred instances behave on one box under real traffic, and a few other paid-plan features are still on the bench. If you hit a rough edge in the first weeks, you're seeing a young system in public, which is exactly where I want it.
So go to console.neleto.io, sign up for free, and put it through its paces. If something's confusing, slow, or broken, I want to hear about it. We did this in the open so the first people through the door could shape what it becomes — and the door's open now.

The AI That Checks Its Own Work
Most AI-plus-CMS setups write content and hope it rendered. Neleto checks three ways: structured output, LSP checks and a look at the live page.
