Choose Publii or Directus?
Why choose Publii?
Publii focuses on great editor experience with the block editor. It's a great choice for sites that are statically generated with plenty of choice of blog templates. However, it is not suitable for teams who wants to have custom design or have a blog in the same subdirectory as their main site.
Why choose Directus?
Directus is a great choice for developers seeking a flexible, headless CMS with complete customization, but its pricing plans can be limiting with only single tier of professional cloud plan.
