Payload is a headless CMS and application framework built with TypeScript. Self-hosted, code-first config, and now runs natively inside Next.js.
Reviewer scorecard
“Hot reload, custom rendering engine, and Dart is surprisingly pleasant. Best for custom UI that needs pixel-perfect cross-platform.”
“Code-first CMS that runs inside Next.js. Full TypeScript types, access control, and the admin UI is excellent.”
“Dart limits the developer pool. React Native with TypeScript/JavaScript has a much larger talent market.”
“The best headless CMS for developers. Code-first configuration means version control and type safety.”
“Google's commitment level is uncertain given their track record. React Native has more ecosystem momentum.”
“CMS inside your Next.js app eliminates the API layer. Payload 3.0 is a paradigm shift for content management.”
