Leiho takes another route: your content stays in WordPress, and editors click the real page of your own front end to change it. | | Leiho | Prismic | | --- | --- | --- | | 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. | Checked on 5 November 2026 from each vendor’s site. Prices and plans change: follow the sources below. - Slice-based page building maps cleanly to front-end components. - Low entry price for small paid teams. - Fully managed with no backend to maintain. - 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.
