The Name
The Name is the identity and ownership anchor; domain and public Nameplate bind every room.
Built for accountable production
Everything under your own name.
cerilo brings identity, site, mail, posts, assists, press kit, and deals behind a domain the creator owns, with scheduled publishing, receipts, and an MCP-first operating surface.
Repository-backed product facts · reviewed 26 August 2026
Architecture and value
Replace a scattered creator stack with one inspectable record while keeping the Name, exports, approvals, and deal history under the creator’s authority.
Seven connected rooms
Seven rooms share one workspace record: Nameplate, Site, Mail, Posts, Assists, Press kit, and Deals.
Durable publishing pipeline
A durable scheduler and adapter boundary press approved content to channels and record receipts.

Frequently asked questions
What is the safest way to evaluate it?
Start with the architecture, reproduce the documented workflow, and verify the boundary against your own threat model.
Does the comparison include live third-party pricing?
No. Mutable vendor pricing is deliberately excluded. Verify current vendor terms before a purchase decision.
Where are limitations documented?
The status note, architecture page, and engineering articles state the current boundary and failure behaviour.
