Laioutr and Hygraph
# Laioutr vs. Hygraph: alternative or frontend for Hygraph
Hygraph for federated content, Laioutr for frontend rendering. Or Laioutr as an integrated headless CMS with Studio and frontend in one platform.

## Laioutr and Hygraph: two roles in the composable stack
Hygraph, formerly GraphCMS, is a GraphQL-based headless CMS; content federation brings content from other systems together in one graph. Laioutr is an Agentic Frontend Management Platform with Blueprints, a UI library, Studio and connections to 50+ commerce backends, plus an integrated [headless CMS](https://www.laioutr.com/en/headless-cms) with Content Collections. Laioutr can complement Hygraph as the frontend layer or bring content and frontend together in one platform.
WHY TOGETHER
## Keep Hygraph, speed up the frontend with Laioutr
Teams that want to keep Hygraph use Laioutr to close the gap between the content graph and a productive e-commerce storefront. Hygraph content flows via GraphQL into Laioutr layouts, editorial and engineering keep working in the Hygraph schema, and Laioutr handles rendering in storefronts with Blueprints, a UI library and commerce connections.

## reasons for Laioutr as the frontend layer for Hygraph
### GraphQL connection to Hygraph without a custom frontend
Hygraph content, schemas and references flow through the Laioutr connection into layouts, product pages and campaign templates. No separate Next.js, Nuxt or Remix project to maintain, no parallel rendering frontend. Hygraph stays the content graph, Laioutr handles delivery.
### Storefront in weeks, not months
A headless CMS delivers content, while the e-commerce storefront is traditionally built in a separate frontend project. With Laioutr, this custom build falls away: Blueprints, a UI library and storefront components for product pages, listings and cart are built in. A pilot is usually live within 14 days.
### Marketing self-service across the entire storefront
Hygraph strongly gears schema and federation towards engineering teams. Laioutr Studio brings the content into productive storefront layouts where marketing and content teams work without dev tickets. Landing pages, promo banners and product worlds are built by drag and drop, while Hygraph stays the single source of truth in the background.

Since deploying the platform, our storefronts load noticeably faster, with clear effects on Core Web Vitals, bounce rates, and conversion. We can roll out new landing pages, campaigns, and product worlds in days instead of weeks, without tying up developer resources. That gives us the speed today's market demands. Working with the Laioutr team is pragmatic, data-driven, and on equal footing, that's how modern frontend should work."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
## FAQ: Laioutr and Hygraph
Do we have to replace Hygraph if we use Laioutr?
No. Laioutr works as the frontend layer for Hygraph: engineering and editorial teams keep working in Hygraph, and Laioutr handles rendering in the e-commerce storefront. Teams that want content and frontend in one place can use Laioutr's integrated [headless CMS](https://www.laioutr.com/en/headless-cms) with Content Collections instead.
How exactly does the integration between Hygraph and Laioutr work?
Laioutr connects to the Hygraph Content API via GraphQL. Schemas, references, federated sources and assets are available as content sources in Laioutr Studio, and marketing and editorial teams embed Hygraph content directly in Laioutr layouts.
What sets Laioutr Studio apart from Hygraph Studio?
Hygraph Studio focuses on schema modelling and content editing: schema builder, references, federated data sources. Laioutr Studio focuses on storefront composition: Blueprints, page templates, product pages and campaign layouts with embedded commerce components and connections to 50+ backends. In combined setups, teams work in both tools because they solve different tasks.
When is Hygraph alone enough, and when is Laioutr needed on top?
Hygraph on its own suits setups in which an in-house engineering team builds and runs the frontend and GraphQL federation is the central value. Laioutr complements Hygraph when (1) a productive e-commerce storefront needs to go live quickly, (2) commerce backends such as Shopify, Shopware, commercetools or Adobe Commerce need to be connected as a rendering layer, or (3) marketing teams should roll out storefront pages without dev tickets.
What happens to Hygraph's Content Federation when Laioutr is in the stack?
Content federation remains the core of the Hygraph setup. Federated sources are consumed in Laioutr just like native Hygraph content: via the GraphQL API. Laioutr adds the rendering layer and the commerce backend connections needed for storefront delivery, for example for cart and stock data.
How quickly are we live with Laioutr if Hygraph is already in use?
With an existing Hygraph account and an established backend (Shopify, Shopware, commercetools, Adobe Commerce), a pilot is usually live within 14 days. Hygraph content reaches the storefront through the GraphQL connection, and a separate frontend build is not needed.
Do we have to remodel our existing Hygraph schemas?
As a rule, no. Hygraph models are bound to Laioutr layouts as content components. The migration workshop assesses which models map 1:1 to Laioutr sections and which need small adjustments.
What happens to our existing frontend code (Next.js, Nuxt, Remix)?
Reusable components, design tokens and style guides are carried over through the Laioutr UI library. Laioutr takes over the rendering logic, and the previous frontend can be retired. Custom logic moves into Laioutr layouts or into the Laioutr App Store as an app; existing Vue components can be moved with AI assistance.
What about hosting, data protection, and compliance?
Laioutr offers EU hosting, further regions (US, APAC) on request, GDPR-compliant out of the box; regional data residency is possible, and Cloud/Edge Hosting is an add-on. A DPA is available on request, and WCAG 3.0 Ready is a commitment for the frontend layer. Details on Hygraph's hosting and compliance are provided by the vendor.
How does the Hygraph plan relate to the Laioutr license?
Both systems are licensed separately: Hygraph according to the vendor's plans, Laioutr according to the Growth or Pro packages, with Enterprise offered individually (see [commerce pricing](https://www.laioutr.com/en/pricing/commerce)). In a combined setup, the custom frontend build and its ongoing engineering costs fall away, often the biggest lever for total cost of ownership. With Laioutr, hosting is an add-on.
Do we get help setting up Laioutr alongside Hygraph?
Yes. An architecture workshop, mapping Hygraph models and federated sources to Laioutr sections, a migration plan for the previous frontend and guidance through to go-live are standard. Founder-led migration comes at no extra charge.
