Gatsby vs Stapy

Gatsby is an open-source, React-based framework for building websites such as eCommerce and marketing sites, blogs, and documentation. It supports JavaScript and Node.js, and pages can be rendered with Static Site Generation, Deferred Static Generation, or Server-Side Rendering. Its GraphQL data layer gives page components a consistent way to request content, API, and service data. Gatsby also provides code-splitting, image optimization, lazy loading, and webpack. Its plugin library covers areas including CMS, styling, analytics, e-commerce, payments, authentication, and search; official integrations include hosting providers and content management systems. Gatsby 5 requires Node 18 and React 18. The open-source framework is free. A separate Free plan costs nothing and includes a 300-credit monthly limit, unlimited deploy previews, and custom domains with SSL. Personal costs $9 a month and Pro costs $20 a month; Enterprise pricing is custom. Projects pause when monthly usage limits are reached.

Stapy is a free, open-source static site generator from Magentix for building sites with Python. It runs on Linux and Windows, needs Python 3.6 or newer, and works without additional packages. A local preview server lets you view generated pages while working. Stapy writes static files into environment directories under the web directory, including a production directory intended for publishing. Page data is kept in JSON files, and page settings can be combined with layouts at several levels. Templates provide variables, included content, plugin methods and reusable child blocks. Themes can inherit from parent themes, with individual files overriding inherited files. Python plugins can alter content and page data during rendering, handle HTTP requests or add template methods. An official plugin adds a web editor at /_editor by default. Publishing documentation covers SFTP, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, Vercel and GitHub Pages. The free plan costs nothing.
