Conloca vs deco CMS

Conloca is a free, open-source content management system built specifically for Astro websites. Its browser editor, powered by Puck, lets editors assemble and update pages with drag-and-drop components. Content is stored as VXJSON files in the project’s Git repository, without a database or external service dependency. Every edit creates a Git commit with author attribution, allowing teams to review differences and revert changes. Separate content can be maintained for each configured locale, and MDX combines Markdown with components. Conloca includes live preview and a media library. When editors change one page simultaneously, ETag-based conflict detection displays a resolution dialog. The system writes to a temporary file before atomically renaming it to reduce partial writes after a crash. It runs on Bun and can deploy in Docker, on a VPS with systemd or behind a Cloudflare Tunnel. Cloudflare Access authentication with JWT validation is available out of the box. Conloca costs nothing.

deco CMS is an open-source, self-hostable content management system for commerce teams and enterprise operations managing storefronts across platforms and sites. It pairs a visual editor for business teams with an AI agent for other changes, operating on the customer's stack. Non-technical staff can edit, create, and publish without tickets, while design-system components and tokens can remain locked. It works with Shopify, VTEX, Wake, VNDA, and headless or custom stacks. Teams can make audience variants by country, state, or UTM and run A/B tests at the edge; results can be exported to Google Analytics 4. Changes are organized as changesets with shareable previews, while content and code stay in the repository, and the page describes rollback as one click. The agent follows system prompts, design-system references, and repository skills; TypeScript typing can block invalid data-layer commits. The open-source core is free. Studio costs $20 a month, billed at $20 /user/month, while Enterprise costs $10,000 a month. The Outcome operation plan has no listed price.
