GPT #4Claude #3Gemini #3
The leading open-source, self-hostable option — full control over data and infrastructure, Node.js codebase developers can extend directly, REST and GraphQL out of the box, huge plugin ecosystem, and Strapi Cloud when you don't want to self-host
What would move Strapi up
- GPT Improve upgrade reliability and reduce plugin/version friction
- Claude Close the polish gap with SaaS rivals on admin UX, migrations, and TypeScript-first APIs so upgrades and content-type changes stop being friction points
- Gemini Redesign the core system to support modern native TypeScript typing and configuration out of the box without compiler friction.
