Reviewer scorecard
“Mature API, excellent SDKs, and the content model is flexible. The enterprise choice for headless CMS.”
“Instant GraphQL API from a schema definition. Edge deployment and federation are well-designed.”
“Expensive for what it is. Sanity and Payload offer better DX at lower cost. Only justified for enterprise compliance needs.”
“GraphQL is losing mindshare to tRPC and REST. Building a platform around GraphQL is a risky bet.”
“The editor experience is functional but uninspiring. Sanity's customizable studio is more pleasant to work in.”
“Edge-first GraphQL with AI gateway is an interesting combination. The gateway approach could be the differentiator.”
