Kontent.ai vs. Sitecore.
Deciding between Kontent.ai and Sitecore? What’s on your checklist?
Freedom and flexibility for developers. An easy-to-use and fully governed editorial experience. True SaaS, fully secure, Kontent.ai helps global enterprises plan, create, and publish engaging content across digital channels.
What does true composability look like?
Performance, speed, and security
Assessing Sitecore’s monolith Platform DXP? With extraneous features you probably don’t need and won’t use, constant maintenance, and time lost to upgrades, what’s the real cost to the business? Kontent.ai’s lightweight frontend and globally distributed cloud-native service removes the burden of maintaining servers, upgrading software, or worrying about performance and security.
Real flexibility for developers
Trying to make sense Sitecore’s SaaS journey? If Sitecore XM, Experience Edge for XM, Content Hub, and Experience Edge for Content Hub feel less than flexible, there’s a reason. Genuine composability is not a future state. With Kontent.ai, give developers freedom to build right now, while supporting marketers with an intuitive editorial experience.
Regular, useful product releases
No split focus, no customers left behind. Customer feedback sits at the heart of Kontent.ai’s product roadmap. And regular product releases always improve the experience for end users. Check out the latest product updates and public changelog to learn how Kontent.ai is constantly evolving along with customer needs and CMS trends.
No vendor lock-in ever
A microservices architecture means working with the best. Without trade-offs, pressure, or worse, clunkiness. Sitecore’s acquisitions and preferred vendors can bring confusion about the choices you really have. Kontent.ai’s comprehensive API reference helps you seamlessly bring content into your modern tech stack.
A single source of truth
Even Sitecore reps can’t help recommending Kontent.ai for content hub use cases. By centralizing all content into a cloud-based repository that simply works, and plays well with others, it’s much easier to focus on creating content that’s consistent, compliant, and on-brand. Just one reason business users really, really like using Kontent.ai.

Why developers & marketers prefer Kontent.ai over Sitecore
Marketers love the familiar doc-style collaborative experience and simultaneous editing. The transition to headless is no biggie – and the ability to create and update content independently from developer timelines makes all the difference.
Teams keep content consistent with governed processes and organized work spaces. In a Kontent.ai project, it’s easy to group content by areas of ownership, like regions, brands, or departments. Modular, structured content encourages reuse, extending the impact of everything that’s created.

“Coming from a monolith CMS and pseudo-SaaS content management world, Kontent.ai is a breath of fresh air. Because Kontent’s APIs are developer-friendly, we can finish projects faster and enable our clients’ marketing teams to go to market quickly. Plus, the user interface is really intuitive, allowing us to get meaningful work done in no time. ”
