Payload

Payload CMS is a headless CMS and application framework designed to improve collaboration among developers, marketers, and product owners. The job it does: managing a site's content with editors, workflows and templates.

Who is it for? Mostly content and marketing teams. Alongside the main category they mention CMS. They are a small team, 11 to 50 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Payload is based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. More on payloadcms.com.

Things worth asking about: editor experience, extensibility, and hosting. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.

If you have worked with Payload, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
