Unicorn vs TDS

  • Both Sitecore TDS and Unicorn share a similar functionality — they can serialize Sitecore items to the file system and store them in source control.
  • The difference between Unicorn and TDS is that Unicorn forces all the merging to be done on the disk, so you never have to manually select what to update when you’re running a sync operation or remember to write changed items to the disk.
  • Unicorn requires complex configurations that are challenging for non-expert users.
  • Sitecore TDS excels the usability by making the things in easy way.

Licensing
  • Sitecore TDS is licensed per developer and is available as an annual subscription ($399 each). Once each team member owns their own TDS license, teams are permitted to install the tool in multiple environments.
  • Unicorn is free and open source tool.

SCS

  • Another alternative is the most exciting new feature in Sitecore 10 — Sitecore Content Serialization (SCS), a tool for serializing, sharing, version control and deployment of content items.
  • I can recommend SCS as a new progressive tool that can be used instead of TDS and Unicorn and that combines the best of both.
  • SCS has a Visual Studio plugin to manage content and a Sitecore command-line interface (CLI).
  • The CLI tool can be used for serialization, creating item packages and publishing. No license is required — just install and start using it.
