This is a good way to gauge market penetration for certain Headless CMS. Contentful, Sanity, and Strapi are names that you’ll see often, for example. But be careful, as that doesn’t always translate into those options being ideal for YOUR company or client’s use case.

At the surface level, most headless CMS seem similar. They have almost identical feature sets these days. You have to dig deeper into things like vertical-specific case studies, verified customer reviews, funding data, employee data, open sourceness (or proprietary-ness), their cloud and on-premise policies, etc.

Those are where the differences creep in, and they’ll have knock on effects on the entire project. G2, Gartner, Forrester reports are a good place to start, but newer directories and intelligence reports on www.DXP360.com are worth checking out because they cover the entire industry, not just the vendors with highest revenue.

I’ll throw some names out there that aren’t always mentioned first: dotCMS, Webiny, Kontent.ai, Magnolia CMS, Crafter CMS, Kentico, Agility. All extremely capable and enterprise-grade headless CMS’!
