Best 3 Tools for Building Headless CMS in 2025

Builder.io is a platform that bridges the gap between design and code. It has two main products that work together: Fusion Visual IDE for building applications and Publish Visual CMS for managing content.

Strapi is an open-source headless CMS built with Node.js that delivers content through APIs instead of traditional web pages. Think of it as a smart backend system that stores and manages your content, then sends it anywhere you need through REST or GraphQL APIs.

Sanity is a content platform that stores your content as structured data and makes it available through powerful tools. Unlike traditional systems where content and design are locked together, Sanity keeps them separate. This means you create content once and use it anywhere - websites, apps, smart devices, or anywhere else you need it.
