How to Decide
TinaCMS is an open‑source headless CMS that stores content in a GitHub repository and is used by developers and content creators. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: Strapi leans on a flexible data model with support for multiple databases and authentication providers; sveltia‑cms emphasizes a framework‑agnostic, mobile‑friendly UX with first‑class i18n support; decap‑cms is chosen for its dual REST and GraphQL APIs plus granular role‑based access control.
When comparing these options, focus on (1) the breadth of data‑model and database flexibility (Strapi’s multi‑DB support versus Tina’s Git‑only storage), (2) authentication and third‑party integration options (Strapi’s built‑in providers versus the Git‑centric approach of the others), (3) internationalization capabilities (sveltia‑cms’ first‑class i18n versus the more limited i18n in Tina and Decap), (4) API style and extensibility (Decap’s REST + GraphQL versus Tina’s generic API), and (5) deployment and hosting model (self‑hosted Node.js for Decap and Tina versus sveltia‑cms’s cloud/SaaS option).
