Replaces Agility CMS

The Problem

Why teams outgrow Agility CMS

Agility CMS preaches a 'Content First' approach, but in practice, the *planning* of that content happens in spreadsheets and the *creation* happens in Google Docs. Agility is just the bucket where it ends up.

This disconnect leads to strategy drift. Marketers map out a plan but struggle to execute it because the tools are scattered.

Agility's interface, while improving, can still feel complex for daily editorial work, focusing more on content architecture than the writing experience.

The Solution

A content production engine — not just a database.

Decipher CMS brings planning and execution together. 'Unlimited Topical Maps' allow you to visualize your content strategy directly in the dashboard.

You can drag-and-drop topics, assign them to writers, or use 'Bulk SEO Content Generation' to draft them instantly. The 'Smart Content Editor' provides the writing environment.

Decipher ensures that the 'Content First' philosophy is actually actionable by providing the tools to produce that content at scale. 'Automated Keyword Research' ensures your architecture is based on data, not guesses.

Plan, create, and publish in one place. Switch to Decipher.
Infrastructure

Enterprise-grade architecture — without the enterprise complexity.

Agility runs on Azure. Decipher runs on 'Google Cloud Platform'.

For organizations heavily invested in the Google ecosystem (Workspace, Analytics, Ads), Decipher offers tighter integration and 'Google-Backed' performance. 'Direct cloud billing' gives you transparency into your infrastructure costs that Agility's bundled SaaS pricing often hides.

Total Cost of Ownership

Agility has API request limits and user limits on lower tiers. Decipher’s $19.99/mo plan offers 'Unlimited Use of the AI Writer' and '100 High Quality Content Pieces per month', providing a much lower barrier to entry for teams who want to test a headless approach.

The flat enterprise pricing ('No per-seat pricing') makes Decipher the more scalable choice for growing departments.
