Compare Fork CMS vs. Contentful

Fork CMS is a new take on PHP CMSes. Built on a contemporary base that is a customised version of the Symfony2 framework, this is a challenger to keep note of.

Contentful is a pure CaaS (Content as a Service) player. It comes from Berlin, and is currently the global market leader for decoupled hosted content management.

• A fresh start, no legacy baggage
• A clean user interface
• Fully featured for marketing sites

• Widely used across industries
• No technical operations needed
• Free tier for hobbyists

• Not a 100% standard Symfony Framework app
• Limited adoption
• Public REST APIs not a priority

• Limited customisation capabilities
• Vendor lock in (though export is possible)
• Pricing for large amounts of content
