The Contentstack advantage

6 reasons to choose Contentstack over Sitecore

There's no comparison - Contentstack is the #1 Adaptive DXP powered by the #1 Headless CMS

Superior architecture

Contentstack’s headless and cloud-native roots outperform Sitecore in application architecture with a strong vision of what “the new spine” of a composed digital experience platform needs to contain and what it should not contain.

Easier to use

With API-first technology like Contentstack, specialized developer expertise, certification, or coding is not required. Contentstack's intuitive interface empowers technical and non-technical users, enabling effortless content creation and management.

More choice and freedom

A composable approach puts an end to vendor lock-in, making expensive and time-intensive upgrades a thing of the past. Contentstack empowers customers with maximum choice and control over their technology stack, allowing you to pick and choose best-of-breed MACH tools tailored to your specific use cases.

Unmatched support
