Reviewer scorecard
“Mature API, excellent SDKs, and the content model is flexible. The enterprise choice for headless CMS.”
“Single binary with auth, database, file storage, and real-time. Deploy your backend with one file. Incredible for small projects.”
“Expensive for what it is. Sanity and Payload offer better DX at lower cost. Only justified for enterprise compliance needs.”
“The simplicity is its superpower. For prototypes, side projects, and small apps, nothing is faster to deploy.”
“The editor experience is functional but uninspiring. Sanity's customizable studio is more pleasant to work in.”
“Single-binary backends democratize backend development. PocketBase proves you don't need cloud services for small apps.”
