Reviewer scorecard
“Too expensive for what it offers. Plenty of open-source alternatives.”
“CMS inside your Next.js app eliminates the API layer. Payload 3.0 is a paradigm shift for content management.”
“Fast, reliable, and the docs are actually good. Ship.”
“Code-first CMS that runs inside Next.js. Full TypeScript types, access control, and the admin UI is excellent.”
“The best headless CMS for developers. Code-first configuration means version control and type safety.”
