STOA Verdict	Hygraph is best for small dev teams or agencies that need to pull content from multiple sources into one place using GraphQL. The federated content approach is genuinely powerful if your team knows how to work with APIs and modern web stacks. That said, if you don't have a developer on staff, this tool will feel like a foreign language.
