# Compare Fimo: Three categories, one question: who runs the site after launch?

[

Webflow

vs Fimo](/compare/webflow)[

Framer

vs Fimo](/compare/framer)[

Storyblok

vs Fimo](/compare/storyblok)[

Cursor

vs Fimo](/compare/cursor)

A headless CMS stores the content. A coding agent writes the code. A builder hosts the site. After launch, all three wait for someone to come back. Pick the one you are coming from.

headless cms

## A CMS that also has the site's code.

A headless CMS stores your content and stops there. Fimo stores it the same way, and also has the site's code: it hosts the site, previews changes before they go live and runs agents on it.

[Storyblok vs Fimo](/compare/storyblok)

Contentful is next.

coding agents

## They build the site. Something has to run it.

Claude Code, Cursor and Codex write the code, then wait for the next prompt. Fimo takes the project from there: a CMS over its content, hosting with a preview per branch, and agents on a schedule.

Claude Code is next.

website builders

## Your code, not their platform.

A builder keeps the site inside its platform, canvas and runtime included. Fimo works on the site's code itself: real framework code you and your coding agent can optimize freely, and take anywhere.

Lovable and Replit are next.

## Fimo is not the tool that builds your website. It is the one that runs it afterwards.

Each row is about the category. Named products get their own page.

What you need The category Fimo

headless cms

Editing a page

headless cms In a separate admin app, fetched by the site over an API.

Fimo On the page itself. Click the text, the link or the image.

What it can reach

headless cms Your content, through its API. The pages that render it are someone else's job.

Fimo Your content and the site's code, so it can add a page or update one, not just fill in fields.

After the content is in

headless cms Nothing moves until a person logs back in.

Fimo Agents run on a schedule and bring back work to review.

coding agents

Building the site

coding agents They write the code from a prompt, in your editor.

Fimo It can, from the chat, but that is not where it adds value. Your coding agent builds it, installs the Fimo skills and deploys the first preview.

A marketer changing a word

coding agents Open the project, prompt the agent, review the diff, deploy.

Fimo Open the site in Fimo, click the word, type, publish. No code, no prompt.

Work that repeats

coding agents A developer runs the same prompt again each time: SEO pass, translations, refresh.

Fimo An agent: a goal file and a schedule in the repo. Each run lands in a branch with a report, preview and diff for a person to merge.

website builders

Where the site lives

website builders In their canvas and their runtime. Export is limited.

Fimo In a repository you own, as Next.js, Astro, Svelte or React Router code.

Changing the design

website builders Drag it on the canvas. Faster, and nobody technical needed.

Fimo Through the chat or your coding agent, then reviewed like any change.

Hosting and publishing

website builders Included, tied to the platform the site was made in.

Fimo Included. Every change gets a preview, then an explicit publish.

A person reviews and publishes. Nothing reaches the site on its own

Next.js, Astro, Svelte or React Router, with any coding agent

Server-rendered pages, so search and AI engines get real HTML

Free to start, usage based, never priced per seat

questions

## Before you pick a page.

### Is Fimo a CMS?

Yes. Content is stored in Fimo and edited on the page or through structured fields, like any headless CMS. The difference is scope: Fimo also has the site's code, so it hosts the site, previews changes before they go live and runs agents on it.

### Does Fimo replace my coding agent?

No. Claude Code, Cursor and Codex build the site. Fimo takes the project they produced and owns what comes after: editing, hosting, previews, publishing and the agents that keep the site current.

### Can I move a site off a website builder?

Once it exists as code. A site inside a builder has to be rebuilt first, as a Next.js, Astro, Svelte or React Router project, usually by a coding agent. Connecting that project takes minutes.

### Which comparison should I read first?

The one you are coming from. Choosing a CMS: Storyblok. An agent built your site: Cursor. Weighing a builder: Webflow or Framer.

### Do I need to know how to code?

Not day to day. Editing content, reviewing an agent's work and publishing happen in the interface. Bringing the site in and changing its design go through the chat or your coding agent.

### How does the pricing compare?

Most tools in these categories charge per seat, per editor or per site. Fimo is free to start and metered on what you run, with Pro at $149 a month. Adding a teammate does not change the bill.
