Hugo is described as 'General-purpose website framework for generating static web pages. Hugo flexibly works with many formats and is ideal for blogs, docs, portfolios and much more' and is a popular Website Builder in the social & communications category. There are more than 100 alternatives to Hugo for a variety of platforms, including Self-Hosted, Web-based, Windows, Mac and Linux apps. The best Hugo alternative is WordPress, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Hugo are Ghost, Jekyll, Astro Web Framework and Grav.
Create a website or blog with open-source software focused on accessibility, ease of use, performance, and security. Minimal setup, powerful growth features, and a large community supporting democratization of publishing.

Jekyll is a simple, blog aware, static site generator. It takes a template directory (representing the raw form of a website), runs it through and Liquid converters, and spits out a complete, static website suitable for serving with Apache or your favorite web server.
Unlike some listed alternatives, Jekyll is also a static site generator so it lays in the same category. It uses Ruby (while Hugo uses Go) and I'd say it's simpler than Hugo (simpler in functionality and simpler to understand).
