Every headless CMS makes a trade. These pages say what ours is, and name the cases where the other product is the better buy.
Headless CMSs sit in one of two camps. The hosted ones — Contentful, Sanity — run everything for you and keep your content on their infrastructure. The self-hosted ones — Strapi, Payload — let you keep the data but hand you an application to run, patch and upgrade.
EasySiteControl takes the third position: we host and maintain the dashboard, and every record is written to a MongoDB you supply. You get the operational relief of a hosted product without giving up the database. That is the whole pitch, and the pages below are honest about what it costs you.
Both let you own the database. Only one of them still lets that database be MongoDB — and only one saves you from running the CMS yourself.
