## Available comparisons

- [Alternative to Contentful](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/contentful): The most complete headless CMS on the market. And the clearest proof that even the leader had to add, later, what Griddo solves from the start.

- [Alternative to Drupal](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/drupal): Unlike WordPress, analysts do classify it as an enterprise CMS. Real usability, enterprise cost and academic integrations tell another story.
  - [Full content in markdown](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/drupal.md)
- [Alternative to HubSpot CMS](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/hubspot-cms): The right tool for admissions and lead generation. Not the platform built to govern a complete university ecosystem.
  - [Full content in markdown](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/hubspot-cms.md)
- [Alternative to Liferay](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/liferay): A twenty-year-old enterprise portal turned DXP. Excellent for the people who develop it — the question is what reaches the people who edit it.
  - [Full content in markdown](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/liferay.md)
- [Alternative to Modern Campus CMS](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/modern-campus): The longest-standing CMS in higher education, now SaaS only. Customization still depends on a template language that is increasingly hard to hire for.
  - [Full content in markdown](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/modern-campus.md)
- [Alternative to Payload CMS](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/payload): An excellent backend for an engineering team. No visual editor out of the box, no multi-brand governance, no compliance certifications.
  - [Full content in markdown](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/payload.md)
- [Alternative to SharePoint](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/sharepoint): The right tool for sharing documents and collaborating behind closed doors. Not the platform built for the website a prospective student sees.
  - [Full content in markdown](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/sharepoint.md)
- [Alternative to Sitecore (SitecoreAI)](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/sitecore): An enterprise DXP with decades of history, in the middle of a reinvention. For universities evaluating in 2026, the context changes the math.
  - [Full content in markdown](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/sitecore.md)
- [Alternative to Squiz](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/squiz): Squiz manages hundreds of sites and its search is excellent. What you will not find on its website is what it costs.
  - [Full content in markdown](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/squiz.md)
- [Alternative to Storyblok](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/storyblok): The best visual editor in the sector. Real governance of an institutional brand portfolio is a different question.
  - [Full content in markdown](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/storyblok.md)
- [Alternative to Strapi](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/strapi): Excellent as a cheap, lock-in-free content backend. It solves none of what a university marketing team actually needs.
  - [Full content in markdown](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/strapi.md)
- [Alternative to Terminalfour](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/terminalfour): Thirty years in higher education, with a monolithic architecture and a price that only appears in a public tender.
  - [Full content in markdown](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/terminalfour.md)
- [Alternative to TYPO3](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/typo3): Free software and a standard-bearer for European digital sovereignty. The architecture, the support and the connectors tell another story.
  - [Full content in markdown](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/typo3.md)
- [Alternative to Umbraco](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/umbraco): Umbraco can host many websites. It does not govern them as one.
  - [Full content in markdown](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/umbraco.md)
- [Alternative to WordPress](https://griddo.io/en/alternatives/wordpress): The most-used CMS in the world — but not even Gartner calls it a DXP. Strong on extensibility; real scale, hidden cost and governance tell another story.
