Questions about alternatives to Wisp CMS
What is the best open source alternative to Wisp CMS?
By GitHub stars it is Strapi, with 73,483 stars and a commit on 13 Nov. Choose Strapi when you need a general content API for any frontend or app, not only a blog inside a Next.js site. Next come Ghost (55,810 stars).
Is there a free alternative to Wisp CMS?
Yes. The code of all 2 is public under MIT, so you can use them with no licence fee. Running one yourself costs the server and your time to look after it, and some makers also sell a hosted plan.
How do I choose between them?
Start from the job you use Wisp CMS for. Choose Ghost when your blog also needs member sign-ups and newsletters, with a Content API for a headless front end.
Which Wisp CMS alternatives can I host on my own server?
All 2: Strapi and Ghost. Each tool's page says what it needs to run.
Which ones are still being worked on?
All 2 we track had a commit in the last 30 days, among them Strapi and Ghost. A recent commit shows the project is kept up, not that it will stay that way.
What licences do they use?
MIT (2). MIT, BSD and Apache let you change and reuse the code freely.
What do I lose by leaving Wisp CMS?
The hosting. Wisp CMS's maker runs the servers for you; with an open source tool the updates, backups, security fixes and support are yours, unless you take the maker's hosted plan. Features differ too, so check what each one imports and exports before you move your data.
