Pick Keystatic if…

Keystatic suits teams that want to manage codebase content through an admin UI or files. Its integrations and GitHub-based cloud editing are relevant to Astro, Next.js, and Remix projects.

Pick Kiln if…

Kiln suits people building static sites who want clients or other non-technical editors to update content themselves. It also fits owners who want edits retained in their own GitHub repository.
