Decap CMS vs Dhub

Decap CMS is an open-source content management system for Git-backed static sites. Its web editor gives non-technical contributors structured fields, rich text, and live preview, while draft, review, and publish statuses support editorial workflows. Content remains in the user's repository, preserving version history and enabling branch workflows and deployment checks. It connects to GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Bitbucket, Azure, Git Gateway, proxy, and test backends. Editors can work with a media library and integrations such as Cloudinary or Uploadcare. Content models can include collections, nested structures, relation fields, and slug behavior; developers can add widgets, editor components, and plugins. The MIT-licensed CMS is free and self-hosted, so users supply authentication and a backend. The Free plan is free and lists one site and one seat. Pro is €19 a month, then €10/site and €6/seat per month for additions. Deploy notifications are currently available for GitHub-hosted sites; GitLab support is on the roadmap.

Dhub is a Git-based content management system for technical documentation kept in Markdown or MDX files in GitHub repositories. Its visual editor lets contributors work with that content without writing Markdown syntax. Teams can edit in real time, including members who do not have GitHub accounts, and can push changes, create pull requests, or pull the latest repository changes. Dhub works with projects built on Docusaurus, Next.js, TanStack Start, Astro, Hugo, VitePress, and Fumadocs. The editor supports image uploads and management, including paths and storage. Teams can rearrange a documentation sidebar visually, with its structure saved to navigation.json; Docusaurus and Fumadocs need an adapter for this feature. Pull-request changes from teammates or AI agents can appear as page highlights for review. The free Hobby plan is limited to personal, non-commercial use, personal GitHub accounts, public repositories, and pushes to the default branch. Paid plans start at $16/mo, with a 14-day trial listed.
