Reviewer scorecard
“The best open-source alternative to Claude Code. Model-agnostic, configurable, and the git integration is solid. Perfect if you want control over your tools.”
“Mature API, excellent SDKs, and the content model is flexible. The enterprise choice for headless CMS.”
“Free, open-source, and surprisingly capable. The trade-off vs Cursor/Claude Code is polish — it works but requires more setup and CLI comfort.”
“Expensive for what it is. Sanity and Payload offer better DX at lower cost. Only justified for enterprise compliance needs.”
“Aider proves that AI coding doesn't need to be locked into a proprietary IDE. The model-agnostic approach means it gets better as every LLM improves.”
“The editor experience is functional but uninspiring. Sanity's customizable studio is more pleasant to work in.”
