Sitepins

Sitepins is a Git-based content editor for static-site projects, giving writers, marketers, clients, and teams a visual way to edit repository content. Each save becomes a Git commit, keeping the repository as the single source of truth. The editor supports Markdown, MDX, JSON, YAML, and TOML, with visual, Markdown, and raw-code editing. It ships framework support for Astro, Next.js, Hugo, TanStack Start, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Eleventy, Jekyll, Gatsby, Remix, and Hexo. Other tools include media management, schemas, live preview, version history, SEO tools, and reusable snippets. GitHub repositories are supported, while GitLab is available on Team and higher plans. Team collaboration includes roles, permissions, email invitations, real-time cursors and avatars, and version-history rollback. The AI assistant can use keys supplied by the user from supported providers; those keys remain in the browser. Sitepins offers an installable Progressive Web App for desktop or mobile use. Hosted plans start at $10 a month billed yearly, and a 15-day trial is listed. Self-hosted installs have every feature unlocked without plans, limits, or billing.

Sitepins combines repository-based editing with collaboration and static-site framework support. Choose between hosted plans and self-hosting, and check the Git provider requirements for your team.

Sitepins suits people editing static-site repository content, including personal-site owners, marketing teams, agencies, freelancers, and clients. It also fits teams that want changes recorded as Git commits.

Sitepins is a visual editor for content stored in Git repositories and used by static-site generators. It suits site owners and teams who want nontechnical collaborators to edit site content while keeping Git as the repository’s source of truth. Its broad editing toolkit and self-hosted option are appealing, though hosted teams need to check which plan unlocks their Git provider and how many sites and collaborators they need.

Overview

Each save creates a normal Git commit, so content remains in the repository rather than moving into a separate publishing store. Writers can work visually or in Markdown, and developers can edit raw code across Markdown, MDX, JSON, YAML, and TOML files. That range makes Sitepins useful for sites whose content spans more than conventional blog posts.

Sitepins supports Astro, Next.js, Hugo, TanStack Start, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Eleventy, Jekyll, Gatsby, Remix, and Hexo. Its editing tools include media management, schemas, live preview, version history, SEO tools, and reusable snippets. The breadth is a strong fit for teams already committed to a supported framework; those seeking a general-purpose hosted CMS should weigh its repository-centered workflow.

Key features

Visual and Markdown editors cover different comfort levels, while raw code editing gives developers direct access to files. Live preview helps editors review changes before saving, and version-history rollback offers a way back when an edit needs to be reversed. Media management, schemas, SEO tools, and reusable snippets round out the workflow.

Teams get roles and permissions, email invitations, real-time cursors and avatars, and rollback through version history. These tools can help clients and colleagues edit together, but the paid seat and organization caps matter as teams grow. The AI assistant uses keys supplied by the user from Groq, OpenRouter, OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, or xAI; those keys remain in the browser.

Git provider tokens are stored per user and can be revoked through GitHub or GitLab. GitHub repositories are supported across plans, while GitLab support starts with Team. That makes the lower plans less suitable for teams whose repositories are on GitLab.

Pricing

Sitepins offers a 15-day trial and paid hosted plans billed yearly. Pro costs $10 a month and includes 6 sites, 2 organizations, 3 users per organization, and priority support. It is the entry point for small hosted setups, but GitHub is the only supported provider at this level.

Team costs $24 a month and allows 15 sites, 5 organizations, and 5 users per organization. It adds GitLab support and advanced SEO suggestions, making it the practical choice for teams that need either feature. Agency costs $40 a month for 30 sites, 10 organizations, and 5 users per organization, with dedicated support; its higher caps and support suit client-facing agencies, though the per-organization user limit remains five.

Enterprise has custom pricing and includes unlimited sites, organizations, and users, plus custom branding and onboarding assistance. There is no free hosted plan, so the trial is the no-cost way to evaluate hosted use. Self-hosted installs have no plans, limits, or billing, and unlock every feature, which may suit teams able to run their own installation.

Platforms

Sitepins is available on the web and as an installable Progressive Web App for standalone desktop or mobile use, alongside Android, iOS, and self-hosted options. The PWA gives editors a standalone mobile experience without changing the underlying Git workflow.

Who it's for

Personal-site owners can use Pro for a small collection of sites, while marketing teams that need multiple organizations, more seats, GitLab, or advanced SEO suggestions should consider Team. Agencies managing client sites get higher site and organization caps with Agency. Freelancers and clients may benefit from visual editing and collaboration, especially when a site already uses one of the supported frameworks.

Sitepins is less compelling for anyone who needs a free hosted plan, more than five users in an organization on the standard paid tiers, or a framework outside its supported list. Self-hosting avoids the plan caps and billing, but is the route for users willing to run their own installation.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Saves become ordinary Git commits, keeping the repository as the content source of truth.
• Pros: Supports a wide range of file formats and named static-site frameworks, alongside visual, Markdown, and raw code editing.
• Pros: Self-hosted installs unlock every feature without plans, limits, or billing.
• Cons: There is no free hosted plan, and the trial lasts 15 days.
• Cons: GitLab support requires Team or higher, at $24 a month billed yearly.
• Cons: Pro, Team, and Agency cap each organization at three or five users, which may constrain larger teams before site quotas do.

Verdict

Sitepins is a strong choice for site owners, marketing teams, and agencies that want collaborators to edit static-site content while changes remain ordinary Git commits. Its format and framework coverage, collaboration tools, and fully unlocked self-hosted option make it especially flexible for Git-based workflows. Look elsewhere if you need free hosted access, broad Git-provider support on the entry plan, or more than five users per organization without moving to Enterprise.
