    Why Choose Unshift?

    Zero SDK Dependency

    Builder.io requires their SDK in your codebase, creating deep vendor lock-in. Unshift exports clean, standalone Next.js code with no runtime dependencies.

    Simple Pricing

    No per-seat fees, no usage tiers, no enterprise sales calls. Unshift is a one-time purchase that gives you everything you need.

    Quick Setup

    Builder.io can take days or weeks to integrate. Unshift is productive in minutes—no complex SDK setup, no configuration headaches.

    Built for Developers

    While Builder.io targets enterprise teams with complex workflows, Unshift is purpose-built for developers who want to ship fast without bureaucracy.

    The Verdict

    Builder.io is a powerful enterprise CMS with deep integrations and A/B testing. But its SDK dependency, per-user pricing, and complex setup make it overkill for most developers. Unshift gives you visual editing and AI generation with simple pricing and zero lock-in. For indie developers and startups, Unshift is the smarter choice.
