Why teams outgrow Prismic
Prismic is famous for its 'Slice Machine', which allows developers to build reusable UI components that editors can stack to create pages. This is great for visual flexibility, but terrible for volume.
If you need to launch a programmatic SEO campaign with 500 landing pages for different cities or use cases, Prismic requires you to manually build each page, slice by slice. It is a manual page builder that cannot scale to meet the demands of modern 'Programmatic SEO' strategies where volume and velocity are key to capturing long-tail traffic.
A content production engine — not just a database.
Decipher CMS is built for programmatic scale. Instead of manual assembly, it offers 'Bulk SEO Content Generation' that allows you to define a template and generate thousands of unique, optimized pages instantly.
The AI handles the variation in text and imagery ('AI Image & Visual Creation') to ensure each page is unique and avoids duplicate content penalties. You can use 'Unlimited Topical Maps' to plan these large-scale campaigns visually, ensuring your site architecture remains logical as you scale from 10 pages to 10,000 pages.
Build pages by the thousands, not the dozens. Switch to Decipher for programmatic scale.
Enterprise-grade architecture —
without the enterprise complexity.
Prismic hosts your content on their proprietary cloud. Decipher allows for 'Full Ownership' and deployment on your own 'Google Cloud' infrastructure.
This means that as your programmatic campaign grows and traffic spikes, you are paying 'Direct cloud billing' rates for bandwidth, which is often significantly cheaper than the overage fees charged by SaaS CMS vendors. You also own the underlying database, giving you the freedom to export or migrate your massive content library without vendor lock-in.
Pricing that doesn't punish growth.
