Leiho vs Prismic

SaaS headless website builder where developers build 'slices' and marketers assemble pages in a Page Builder. Leiho takes another route: your content stays in WordPress, and editors click the real page of your own front end to change it.

LeihoPrismic
Hosting Your own WordPress, on any PHP host. Your front end stays wherever it is. SaaS only.
Open source Yes, GPL-2.0-or-later (plugin and bridge). Proprietary.
Pricing Free. No seats, no usage limits. Free plan: yes (1 user). Entry paid plan: Starter, $10/month per repository billed annually (3 users).
Visual editing Yes: editors click text and images on the real front end, inside wp-admin, and it updates as they type. Partial: the Page Builder shows live-updating slice previews while editing and full-site previews with a toolbar; no on-page click-to-edit is documented.
Content model Leiho Collections (schema builder or leiho.schema.json), or your existing ACF fields. Both (web Type Builder, plus the Prismic CLI for code/agents).
AI Writing with your brand context on every text field, through WordPress’s own AI connectors (WordPress 7.0+). AI features in beta 'upon request' on all plans; 'Translate with AI' for localized pages.
MCP server Yes, through the official WordPress MCP Adapter: agents read content and write drafts only. Yes.
Localization Built in, field by field: one entry holds every language, fields are translatable or shared, and AI or agents (MCP) translate what is missing. Yes, built-in locales.
SEO and AI search Built in: each collection maps its fields to schema.org, description and FAQ. Leiho serves JSON-LD, llms.txt and every page as Markdown, in every language. Page types have an SEO & Metadata tab (meta title, description, image) that the front end renders. JSON-LD, llms.txt and Markdown are left to the front end.

Where Prismic shines
  • Slice-based page building maps cleanly to front-end components.
  • Low entry price for small paid teams.
  • Fully managed with no backend to maintain.
Where Leiho differs
  • Editors edit the real front end, inside wp-admin: they click a heading on the page and type.
  • Your content stays in a WordPress you host, not in a vendor’s cloud.
  • Free and GPL for every site: no seats, plans or usage limits to watch.
  • Editors keep WordPress: their login, roles, media library and plugins.

Choose Prismic if…

Agencies and marketing sites where developers ship a slice library and editors compose landing pages.

Choose Leiho if…

Your team or your clients already know WordPress, you want them to edit the real page of a Next.js, Astro, Nuxt or SvelteKit site, and you’d rather not pay per seat or move content to a vendor’s cloud.

Can I move from Prismic to Leiho?

There is no automatic importer from Prismic. Leiho entries are WordPress posts, so content can be brought in with WordPress import tools or a script using Leiho’s PHP API. Your front-end components usually stay the same: only the data source and the annotations change.

Do I need WordPress?

Yes. Leiho is a WordPress plugin: WordPress stores the content and runs the back office. Any PHP host works, and your front end stays separate.
