Headless WordPress VS Payload CMS

Headless WordPress

A headless WordPress site is one that uses WordPress for content management and a different, personalized frontend stack to show material to site visitors.

Headless WordPress can be readily incorporated into many different "stacks" by eliminating the front end. An app's or digital product's stack is essentially its framework.


With Headless WordPress, a marketing team and content team may keep using their familiar WordPress interface, while the development team can continue using their favorite technologies, like React and GraphQL, in a workflow that is known to them with Git.

Payload CMS

Payload is a CMS that is totally focused on providing engineers with the greatest developer experience possible so they can design admin UI and APIs.

For your JavaScript application, Payload CMS is a content authoring tool. For user authentication, file uploads, internationalization, input validation, access control, programmatic hooks, and admin panel, Payload offers a turnkey solution.

Payload is made specifically to save developers time and effort when developing the backend and admin panel for websites, native applications, e-commerce, SaaS, and any other product that needs to handle the content.
