I am curious to find out which one you use and why you prefer it over specific other ones. So with no further delay here we go:
1. PornCMS: low-cost, monthly
Starter pack = 50/month for the CMS with all modules and VPS hosting with 50 GB space and 1TB bandwidth. 30 days money back guarantee. No demo site.
2. Elevated X: medium-high cost, one-time
299 gets you the CMS + 5 themes. Themes are okay, but not a perfect optimization and responsiveness (doesn't scale to my laptops resolution, auto preview is choppy). Demo site available, admin panel not too shabby. Slow setup (1 week).
3. StagCMS: medium-high cost, monthly
150/month gets you CMS+ 1 theme. Theme is nice, good optimization and good responsiveness. Demo site available without admin panel (screenshots of it look more modern and easy to use than competitors).
4. masCMS: crazy expensive
4600 for lifetime license. Thereafter annual fee of 750. Little info. Pictures of standalone client show oldschool-like graphics.
5. BuranCMS: cheap, free/monthly
Free with traffic skimming or 5/month. Sales site seems badly maintained but fast response via Telegram. Demo site upon request, several available templates. Features barely reported on the site page. No apparent automated payment-delivery process. Legit? Partner deal with Mojohost
6. AVSCMS: Free/Medium-high cost/Expensive?, lifetime
Free basic license or all-in. Unclear if the current price of all-in is 390 or 195. Gives me some bad vibes that they can't even get the price right on the order page... 1 included theme, seems ok, admin panel not readily accessible. Feature list seems nice.
7. KVS: medium-expensive, lifetime
299 if you want an acceptable amount of modules as the 99 version is really barebones. Free themes available, but optimization not perfect for all browser resolutions. Admin panel is extensive and rather overwhelming, outdated UI. Several paid EXPENSIVE themes. Sales site modern and well-maintained. Several reasonable partner deals with hosting providers.
8. MechBunny: expensive, lifetime
399. Demo panel looks quite generic and seems to have special features compared to KVS. Not sure if KVS has randomization of content display, but that doesn't justify 100 bucks imo. Admin panel not readily available
So there's that. I honestly haven't decided with which provider to go with. The price-quality balance would be great if Buran CMS is legit, so I'm currently leaning towards that one to start out with. Alternatively I could go with KVS, but managing things in the admin panel seems kind of messy.
PS: WordPress preachers, please stay out.
Cheers
