Agility CMS vs.
Click any competitor to explore how Agility stacks up head-to-head.
Contentful
Contentful is a popular headless CMS, but enterprise teams hit pricing walls fast and editorial teams struggle with a developer-first interface that leaves marketers behind.
See comparison →
Contentstack
Contentstack offers solid APIs, but comes with steep implementation costs, long onboarding cycles, and a pricing model that grows painfully as your team scales.
See comparison →
Sanity
Sanity is flexible for developers but requires heavy customisation to reach a state where marketers can work independently — adding months of setup time.
See comparison →
WordPress / WPEngine
WordPress powers much of the web but monolithic architecture, plugin sprawl, and security vulnerabilities make it a poor fit for modern enterprise digital experiences.
See comparison →
Sitecore
Sitecore is an enterprise giant, but comes with enterprise-giant complexity — long implementation timelines, heavy infrastructure overhead, and a price tag to match.
See comparison →
Drupal
Drupal is powerful and open-source, but demands deep technical expertise for every content change — putting too much work on developers and slowing business teams down.
See comparison →
Kontent.ai
Kontent.ai has a clean interface, but lags behind on native page building, integrations breadth, and enterprise security certifications that larger teams demand.
See comparison →
Adobe Experience Manager
AEM is feature-rich but notoriously expensive to license, slow to deploy, and requires a dedicated team of specialists just to keep it running day-to-day.

Why teams make the switch
Real feedback from teams that moved to Agility CMS from competing platforms.
We evaluated Contentful and Contentstack — Agility was the only system where we had 100% confidence there would be no limitations to our development and our content team could work independently.
Digital Platform Lead
Oxford Properties
After struggling with WordPress plugin sprawl for years, moving to Agility CMS cut our page management effort by 80x. The team actually enjoys updating content now.
Head of Digital
Cineplex
Sitecore’s TCO was unsustainable. Agility gave us enterprise features at a fraction of the cost — and we were live in under 60 days.
