Moving off Sitecore or Adobe Experience Manager to a composable stack
Fidget Labs helps brands leave a monolithic DXP such as Sitecore, Adobe Experience Manager, or Optimizely for a composable stack of headless CMS, commerce, and search. It starts with Platform Selection: four weeks, €15,000 or $20,000 fixed, ending in scored options, a written recommendation, and a lock-in assessment. The migration then runs in fixed-price phases. We hold no partner badges and take no resale margin, so no platform pays us to reach the answer.
You are probably here because
- Your DXP license renewal is coming and the upgrade path is another multi-year program
- Content teams wait on developers for changes that should take minutes
- Every agency you talk to recommends the platform it is a partner of
- You want AI and agents on top of your content, and the current platform makes that hard
What we do
- Inventory the estate: sites, content types, integrations, personalization, and what actually gets used
- Score headless CMS, commerce, and search options against your content and team, not a vendor's demo
- Write the recommendation with the reasoning exposed, including what we would not do
- Phase the migration so each phase has a fixed price and a working result

Questions
How much does it cost to move off Sitecore or AEM?
Choosing the replacement is €15,000 or $20,000 fixed over four weeks. The migration itself depends on the number of sites, content volume, and integrations, so we scope it with a paid discovery step and then price each phase. You get a real number before you commit to the build.
Which headless CMS should replace Sitecore?
It depends on your content model, editors, and integrations. We compare options such as Contentful, Contentstack, Storyblok, and Sanity, plus commerce and search, against your actual requirements. We have no preferred platform and earn nothing from any of them.
Can we migrate in stages instead of all at once?
Yes, and we recommend it. Most estates move site by site or capability by capability, with the old platform running alongside until each piece is proven.
