Top 10 Headless CMS's You Should Check Out (and what they are!)

How would you compare Webflow CMS with the others like Prismic??

I have used Starpi and It is best cms i have tried . The only thing i didn't like was it can not create new collections(schema/tables) in production, you have to locally add new schema and then build and deploy.

To overcome this issue i created my own backend server from scratch written in golang supporting mysql,pg,sqlite.
Added auth, and dynamic buildings tables, modifying and perform crud in those tables.
And It exposes api to to use that table and perform crud to authenticated user

Very nice, insightful list, Erik. Have you checked out Core dna? I was surprised to see they are not listed, they have a really good headless CMS, they even worked with Nintendo. Are there reasons why? Just curious. Keep up the good stuff bro.

I got nothing from the video actually. We want to know what's the difference between one and the other, which one is easiest to implement, which one is the most powerful, which one has better features than the other, etc. All you do is compare the prices

You mentioned you would be covering two types -- a) Headless CMSs as service b) Opensource which we could host on our own server.
But you never bothered for the Opensource ones.

something with vue nuxt would be amazing erik

Wagtail is my choice.

I liked your video! It helped me!

Thank you for all that work !!

Why pay for these sites, atleast word[ress has headless

it's pretty funny to imagine how i will say to client to pay $1200 per year for an admin panel :D May be it's a good price for the USA but...

Why not just use StrapiJS

Hi Erik i have a question the question is : Can i use to Wordpress instead of headless CMS for my Vue js application as back-end? or it's a stupid idea?

What do you think about Strapi?

Which frontend deployment tools do you guys use or recommend?

Thanks for making this. I'm still not convinced about the CMS-as-a-service model. I find the pricing models really tricky. It's easy to get started with a free account, but after you get started and spend $$$$ on front end development you'll want to bump up to a paid plan. Pretty quickly you're tied into their CMS and will hit the $879 / month limit. The middle paid plan really doesn't offer much above the free plan. That's their business model I guess but it's a bit underhanded IMO.

If you cant be bothered to click through the websites pricing pages watch this. If you want an actual understanding of headless CMS's dont watch this.

You didn't really put any specifics or opinions or experience into this video. Would have been nice to hear any pros or cons or how they worked when you tested them.

how about directus?

I have a MS SQL Server database. I just want a local tool that will allow me to edit data easily. Want it to read the schema and keys to present an interface to edit. Any ideas? open-source/free

The "and what they are!" bit in the title definitely shouldn't be there. A lot of talking without any actual information. You read out websites without having almost any experience with these.

the dude hasn't used any of them and still releases a video telling people which one is best ... dislike

How about kentico cloud ? :)

Could I use React to build niche site or should I use CMS?

All you do is look at the website, as we all do. Which still leaves me clueless. Could you create a new video where you try out, say 3 of them, and share your experience after? Or maybe you did already?

Awesome.. 😎

Umbraco Headless seems very promising, even provides SDKs for dotnet core or node.js.

Ghost CMS..??

video on strapi please and headless wordpress

what's the best headless cms approach for a web app or progressive web app?

Wordpress vs Netlify CMS?

Hello and thanks for the video.
I am looking a headless CMS, to run on a shared hosting account, flat files, that is simple to use by clerical staff of a small company with no technical knowledge, that allows to have a web editor like CKEditor to edit the content areas, not Markdown. That allows to have dropdown menu, horizontal or vertical, image slider in the main banner, and with pagination for articles, that is Open Source. Can you recommend a couple of options? Thanks and regards

When people cry in comments... Wordpress is not flexible, this is API CMS, we can create nice website with for example react.js and use ready API and ready dashboards for funny money.. what is wrong with this? Why this is hard to understand for people? I don't know xd prismic is beautiful, my company is going to use it, we are staring marketing project next week. We don't have to find with backend and dashboards for marketing for next months... just React.js and wooohoooo! This is awesome :D

Has anyone tried out StoryBlok?

React w/Strapi

Great one like always :) waiting for the tutorial..... cheers, keep it up

I would like to see vue ssr with any headless cams that can support multilingual. Strapi multilingual isn’t quite working

I am currently working to set up my new webpage from Cockpit, using VueJS as frontend. Still lots of things to wrap it up :)

Headless WP tutorial sounds interesting.

Thank u for this awesome video

Do a tutorial with one of them...

Headless WordPress and vue in frontend

Prismic FTW

Ir would be great to ger a demo of wp as backednand abd vue for frotnend :)

Hi Erik. Do you know if some of these CMS are GraphQL based?

People should just stick with WordPress if they want a cms. It’s easy, it’s widely adopted so it has more support than any other cms.

There is nothing wrong with WordPress. Why reinvent the wheel when the wheel already exists. I don’t get it.

I work for a large company (not in the dev or marketing department) and those morons went with adobe experience manager and now their having a hard time finding people with aem experience.
