Fit with your core workflow
Feature counts matter less than whether the tool runs your main Website CMS Comparison workflow without workarounds. Write down the three tasks your team performs daily and test exactly those.
Total cost, not list price
Entry prices such as ab 9€ / Monat – ab 300€ / Monat are typically per seat and month on annual billing. Add extra seats, contact tiers, onboarding fees and paid add-ons before comparing.
Integrations
Check whether your CRM, storefront, analytics and ad accounts connect natively or only through Zapier/Make. Native connectors reduce maintenance and prevent reporting gaps.
Security and compliance
Ask for SOC 2 status, data residency options, retention settings and consent handling. Teams with EU customers should also confirm DPA availability and Data Privacy Framework participation.
Onboarding and support
Implementation packages, response-time commitments and a maintained knowledge base decide whether a tool is still in use after three months. Clarify support tiers before signing.
Exit and data portability
Contract term, notice period and export formats belong in the evaluation. CSV or API exports on demand keep you free to switch later.
Solo operators and small teams
Storyblok covers the entry level without a big budget. Prioritize fast setup, few required fields and pricing that scales only as you grow.
Mid-market teams with established processes
Storyblok and Squarespace provide the broadest functional base in this list and adapt to existing workflows. Look closely at roles and permissions plus automations that span departments.
Enterprise and regulated industries
Webflow and similar vendors work from custom quotes with SSO, audit logs and named contacts. Contract and security documentation matters more than the list price here.
Pricing, plans and features change frequently. We re-check the figures against vendors' public pricing pages; the vendor's own terms always take precedence for contract decisions.
Every list follows the same four steps – so scores stay comparable across categories.
Yes. These vendors offer a free plan or a free trial: Storyblok, Squarespace, Webflow, Ghost.
The lowest entry price in this comparison is Ghost at ab 9€ / Monat. Prices scale with contacts, users or feature tier.
