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.
Pick Prose if…
Prose suits website owners and editors who keep content in GitHub and want a visual browser editor. It is especially relevant to Jekyll and Markdown projects using GitHub Pages or a self-managed webhook server.
