Compare plans and pricing
Check for a free plan, a free trial and the paid starting point before choosing a tool. Some entries show pricing only on request.
When code access or changes matter, see whether open-source code is available and examine its licence.
Match the deployment
Review platform coverage—web, API, self-hosted, Linux, Windows and macOS—to match your hosting setup. Choose a deployment path that fits your team and hosting setup.
Check content delivery
Assess whether delivery is headless and which content APIs are available. These fields show how a CMS can provide content beyond its own editing interface.
Review workflow and localization
Look at workflow and localization capabilities. They matter when content passes through approval steps or needs regional versions.
Verify Java support
Match the CMS's stated Java-version coverage with the Java environment you plan to run.
