Open-source Next.js headless CMS and app framework for developers and teams.
Payload is a TypeScript-first headless CMS built on Node.js that emphasizes developer control and custom admin panels. It offers solid self-hosting but lacks Webiny's enterprise multi-tenancy, serverless scaling, and AI-driven API generation features. Payload appeals to developers wanting tight code integration, whereas Webiny provides broader out-of-the-box enterprise tooling.
