Prismic vs. Optise
Prismic is built for dev teams. Optise is built for results.
Prismic is a headless CMS. Developers build your website and every section of it in code; marketers assemble pages from what the developers made. Optise skips all of that. It builds your B2B website for you, then uses intelligence to know what it needs and makes the improvements, week after week.

Two eras of websites
Prismic's model sounds modern: developers build reusable page sections in code, marketers assemble pages from them. And once the sections exist, page assembly is genuinely fast.
But look at what the model demands. Developers build the website. Developers build every section. Developers host it, somewhere else, because Prismic doesn't include hosting or a frontend at all. Want a section that doesn't exist yet? Dev ticket. Agencies that ship Prismic sites tell clients to budget ongoing developer hours every month just to keep the content structure evolving. Prismic even sells a "done-for-you" setup now, which tells you what the hard part is. And the setup is where their help ends.
Optise is the new approach. A self-improving website platform that uses data and AI to know exactly what your website needs, then makes the improvements for you. Week after week, automatically. You approve every move or let it run.
In the end, Prismic is a content system for dev teams. It doesn't guide you. It doesn't know what's working, what's failing, or what to fix next. All of that work is yours. Optise knows, and it does the work for you.

5 questions that show the difference
Do I actually get a website?
With Prismic, no. With Optise, that's the whole point.
Prismic stores your content and gives marketers a page builder. The website itself, the code, the design, the hosting, is built by your developers on a separate stack and hosted somewhere else, at extra cost. No dev team, no website.
Optise delivers a complete B2B website, built for you, live and improving from week one.
Who does the work after launch?
On Prismic, your developers stay on the hook. Forever.
Marketers can assemble pages from existing sections, and that part works well. But every new section type, layout change, design update, or integration is code. Agencies that build Prismic sites tell clients to budget developer hours every month just for structure changes. The moment your library doesn't cover what you need, you're back in the ticket queue.
Optise does the work as the product. New pages, new sections, sharper copy, shipped every week while your team stays focused on the business.
Does it know what my website needs?
Prismic executes your prompts. Optise brings its own judgment.
Prismic's AI story is real: you can ask ChatGPT or Claude to update CTAs or translate pages in bulk. But notice who's thinking. You decide what to change; the AI does the typing. Prismic has no idea which pages convert, what's failing, or what to do next. There are no analytics in the product at all.
Optise knows. It learns from your business, your market, and thousands of B2B websites, then decides what to improve, explains why, and ships it. Month six beats month one. Month twelve beats month six.
Does it get me found on Google and in AI answers?
Prismic leaves that to your build. With Optise, it's the product.
How your website ranks and shows up in AI answers depends on the frontend your developers build and the SEO work your team does. Prismic will happily serve whatever content you give it, current or stale. Nothing in it keeps you competitive as the rules change.
Optise optimises your website for Google, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity continuously. Every customer, every plan. Getting found is not an add-on. It's the point.
What does it actually cost to get results?
Prismic looks cheap because the website isn't included.
Plans run $10 to $675 a month, and that buys content storage. The website is extra: the developer or agency build, the separate hosting, the monthly dev hours for every new section, and the AI landing page builder is a separately priced add-on, quoted by sales. Approval workflows and proper roles? Locked to the top tiers. That's the model: a low sticker price on the piece that was never the expensive part.
Optise is the opposite. One subscription. Website, hosting, analytics, improvements, and the work itself. All included. Start free and see it work before you pay.

When to choose Prismic
There are still teams Prismic fits:
- You have developers in-house who want to build the website in Next.js or Nuxt and own it.
- Your marketing team ships lots of similar landing pages and a dev team keeps the section library current.
- You want a cheaper headless CMS than Contentful and you already have the engineering to use it.
If you're a B2B company and your website's job is to produce leads, that's a different game. Optise is built for it. It's what the old way becomes when data and AI do the work.

You review everything before it goes live, and your current site stays online until you approve the new one. Then the improvements start shipping, week after week.
