Why teams outgrow Contentstack
Contentstack is a premium enterprise solution, but its 'Mach Alliance' approach often results in a fragmented and expensive stack. Because it focuses purely on content delivery, customers are forced to buy separate licenses for personalization engines, AI writers, and DAM (Digital Asset Management) systems.
Additionally, as a multi-tenant SaaS, Contentstack holds your data on their cloud. For financial institutions, government agencies, or healthcare providers with strict data residency requirements, this lack of physical control over the infrastructure is a significant compliance hurdle.
A content production engine — not just a database.
Decipher CMS champions 'Complete data control' through its 'Private Infrastructure' option. Unlike Contentstack, Decipher allows you to deploy the entire platform on your own Google Cloud account.
This means your data never leaves your controlled environment, satisfying the strictest 'Data Control' and sovereignty requirements. Decipher is also an 'all-in-one' platform that includes 'Custom Enterprise Models' for personalization and 'AI Chat Integration', eliminating the need to purchase and integrate separate vendors for these capabilities.
Regain control of your infrastructure and your budget. Deploy Decipher on your own cloud.
Enterprise-grade architecture —
without the enterprise complexity.
Built on 'Google’s Firebase', Decipher offers 'Bank-level security' and 'Identity Aware Proxy' (IAP) out of the box. This serverless architecture ensures that you have the same infinite scalability as Google itself.
If your site gets a Super Bowl ad spike, Firebase handles it automatically. This 'Google-Backed' reliability is combined with 'Direct cloud billing', where you pay Google directly for usage, providing total transparency on infrastructure spend rather than an opaque SaaS markup.
Pricing that doesn't punish growth.
Transparent plans that scale with your content — not against you.

Total Cost of Ownership
Contentstack contracts are notoriously opaque and expensive, often starting in the high five-figures. Decipher offers transparent 'Enterprise Licensing' at a flat $2,000/month.
When combined with the elimination of per-seat fees ('No per-seat pricing model') and the included AI tools, Decipher delivers 'Total cost savings up to 43%' compared to a typical enterprise stack. You get the same headless power and API capabilities for nearly half the annual cost.
