Why teams outgrow ButterCMS
ButterCMS positions itself primarily as a 'headless blog engine' to drop into existing apps. While it simplifies adding a blog, it offers very little to help that blog actually rank.
It is a basic text management tool. Users still need to pay for Ahrefs for keyword research, Surfer for optimization, and Jasper for writing.
The cost and complexity of integrating these external tools often outweigh the convenience of ButterCMS's simple API. It solves the 'display' problem but ignores the 'discovery' problem.
A content production engine — not just a database.
Decipher CMS is a complete 'SEO Content System'. It doesn't just store blog posts; it helps you plan them with 'Unlimited Topical Maps' and 'Automated Keyword Research'.
It helps you write them with the 'AI Assistant' and 'Bulk SEO Content Generation'. And it helps you rank them with 'Real-time SEO Scoring' and 'Competitor Analysis'.
By integrating the intelligence layer directly into the CMS, Decipher ensures that every piece of content published via its API is primed to drive traffic, making it a revenue generator rather than just a cost center.
Don't just publish a blog. Build a traffic engine. Try Decipher today.
Enterprise-grade architecture —
without the enterprise complexity.
ButterCMS is a SaaS with standard SLAs. Decipher allows you to 'Deploy on your own infrastructure', giving you the ability to configure 'Custom security settings' and isolated environments.
This is particularly valuable for media companies or high-traffic blogs that need to ensure 100% uptime and fast global delivery via Google’s specialized network. The 'Identity Aware Proxy' ensures that your internal writing team accesses the backend securely, preventing unauthorized leaks of draft content.
Pricing that doesn't punish growth.
Transparent plans that scale with your content — not against you.
