Statamic vs October CMS: Which is a better fit?

I love the modern look and feel of the control panel and documentation. Additionally, the humor and references throughout make the experience more enjoyable - especially as a 90's kid.

Some of the online documentation is wrong (at the time of this review) and I have had to resort to the Discord server multiple times to find the correct answer.

Statamic has genuinely changed my mind towards Content Management Systems - they can be fun and fast. In contrast to others that I’ve used, Statamic is clean and powerful.

V2 of statamic was missing few features that would get larger, more demanding customers consider it for their projects, but V3 that is about to be released, has had all of them addressed.

We've launched over 10 sites built with Statamic and love it even more every time we use it for another project. The customer support is amazing, and the community is super helpful and welcoming.

The amount of addons and themes to buy as new user is very limited.

Statamic is incredibly easy to get up and running and build a robust website. It is flexible, fast, powerful, and has a robust community and toolset for modern web developers.

For my use cases I usually get all I want, there is no essential feature missing.

I had a great experience for my freelance web site with OctoberCMS v1.0. Documentation is good and examples are helpful.

I have error 403 few time a week becouse of that and the problem is that nobody knows how to solve it. Its very strange that you dont want to know about problems like that.

Easy to install and configure, the backend is great from the go and customizable, and even developers who need to learn things along the way will find it useful and pretty useful.

How its possible to to make your product better if you dont have a chat support chat. Paiying 100 dollars for every problem which appears will make my bankrupt.

I love the possibility of being able to implement solutions quickly and easily. Laravel and Twig the perfect choice.

I really hate when I need to customize how the User Interface component interact in Backend, althouth I rarely got this challenges.

I like the fact that it's very easy to customize, themes are totally customizable, you can use whatever framework you like and connect it with the backend in a very easy way.

It's hard to find things that we don't like about October CMS.
