Reviewer scorecard
“Full BaaS that you can self-host. Functions, auth, storage, and databases with good SDKs.”
“Mature API, excellent SDKs, and the content model is flexible. The enterprise choice for headless CMS.”
“Solid Firebase alternative that's open source and self-hostable. The Docker-based deployment is straightforward.”
“Expensive for what it is. Sanity and Payload offer better DX at lower cost. Only justified for enterprise compliance needs.”
“Open-source BaaS is the right model. Appwrite and Supabase represent the future of backend services.”
“The editor experience is functional but uninspiring. Sanity's customizable studio is more pleasant to work in.”
