Pretty robust and full-featured
Hey team Caisy, great job! This headless CMS feels very mature. I've played with a few competitors before, like Contentful, DatoCMS, StoryBlok and Sanity and my first impression is that Caisy may be just as good. I've created a demo blog and managing publications and blueprints worked pretty much as expected, and never encountered any unexpected errors or so. Based on that I can simply say that this is one of the better deals on Appsumo, because of that robustness. And I absolutely love your image editor, very convenient for last-minute tweaks!
Just one thing that I think that can be better is the use of space in the dashboard, as each field takes up a whole lot of space, way too much IMHO. Take for example the Blog Article: Above the fold I can only see Title Internal, Slug and Author. For all other fields I need to scroll. And that's on a 14" Macbook Pro.
To get all features, I signed up for Tier-2. But the limited number of 2 projects may become a showstopper for me, as I like to have a bunch of (small) projects, just as you offer on your normal plans. I'm even technically allowed to create multiple projects, but if I understand correctly, that's not accepted practically/legally? I hope you remove this limitation, or at least give a much higher project count, like 25 or so. Hope you will consider this, as I am not sure if I stay on board with the current offer. Also because other headless CMSses offer so generous free plans. Anyway, great job team!

May 9, 2024Hi Marston,
Thank you for your thoughtful review and kind words. It means a lot to us to know that our efforts in building a robust headless CMS are resonating with users like you. We're thrilled to hear that you found our platform comparable to well-known competitors and that our image editor is adding value to your experience.
We appreciate your feedback about the use of space in the dashboard. We are indeed working on optimizing our product for smaller screens. Further, live collaboration and live preview are features we aim to introduce soon.
On the subject of project limitations, we currently offer 3 free projects per organization. We're considering a system where for each paid project, you get an additional 3 projects for free. Technically, you can create new organizations and establish another 3 projects in each. Our free tier is very similar to the paid plans, except for some restrictions on locales.
Given your feedback from other users, we have also decided to raise the document and component blueprint limits for the free tier. We hope this helps accommodate your needs and keeps you on board with us. We're looking forward to unveiling more exciting features soon.
Lastly, I'd like to reassure you that all data limits for AppSumo users will be based on fair use, so there won't be any hard cut-offs. We believe this approach encourages flexibility and growth.
Thanks again for your feedback, Marston!
