Conloca vs Sitepins

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.

Sitepins is a Git-based content editor for static-site projects, giving writers, marketers, clients, and teams a visual way to edit repository content. Each save is recorded as a Git commit, leaving the repository as the source of truth. It supports Markdown, MDX, JSON, YAML, and TOML, with visual, Markdown, and raw-code editing. Specific support is shipped for Astro, Next.js, Hugo, TanStack Start, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Eleventy, Jekyll, Gatsby, Remix, and Hexo. Editing tools include media management, schemas, live preview, version history, SEO tools, and reusable snippets. GitHub repositories are supported, while GitLab is available on Team and higher plans. Team collaboration includes roles, permissions, email invitations, real-time cursors and avatars, and version-history rollback. Sitepins runs on web, Android, and iOS and can be installed as a Progressive Web App. Hosted plans include Pro at $10 a month, Team at $24 a month, and Agency at $40 a month, each billed yearly. A 15-day trial is listed. Self-hosted installs have every feature unlocked without plans, limits, or billing.
