Hello,

do you have any table, some page or tutorial where you compare Repeatable Field Group and Custom Post Types? It would be very useful when I decide what to choose for the new projects - cons and pros of each solution. I.e. I have a CPT called company and the company has products. And I would like to show products only on company page. I had to find out that i.e. RFG cannot have repatable fields inside at this time. But on the other hand I don´t need to create relationship and it is easier to fill the data in backend, because everything is in one CPT. There are also other differences, so it would be great if there will be sum up of the features of the both solutions.

Hello,

Unfortunately, there isn't such an existed table for compare Repeatable Field Groups and Custom Post Types, but you can also submit a document request here:
https://toolset.com/forums/forum/professional-support/#feature-request

But Repeatable Field Groups are based on one-to-many relationship, so each item of Repeatable Field Group is actual a single post.

In your case, I suggest you start with one-to-many relationship, and avoid to use nested Repeatable Field Groups, since there might be some bugs, for example:
