The Contentstack advantage

6 reasons to choose Contentstack over Hygraph

There's no comparison: Contentstack is the #1 Composable DXP powered by the #1 Headless CMS

auto_awesome_motion

More complete than a headless CMS alone

Hygraph is a headless CMS-only product that requires multiple partners to complete. Contentstack is primed to address more customer needs with a built-in personalization engine, no-code full-stack automation, and integrated front-end hosting.

Robust visual authoring experience

Hygraph does not have a live preview capability, inhibiting its users from visualizing content edits in real-time. With Visual Builder and Timeline, Contentstack offers a robust set of visual tools for a better authoring experience that enable content editors to easily see and edit content in real-time and beyond.

Greater publishing flexibility

Hygraph does not have much notion of publishing targets. Contentstack offers publication flexibility with multiple publishing targets.

Superior vision & innovation

Contentstack’s multi-product offering outperforms Hygraph in innovation with a strong vision of what “the new spine” of a composed digital experience platform needs to contain and what it should not contain.
