Reviewer scorecard
“Mature API, excellent SDKs, and the content model is flexible. The enterprise choice for headless CMS.”
“Build admin panels in hours instead of weeks. SQL queries, API connections, and components just work together.”
“Expensive for what it is. Sanity and Payload offer better DX at lower cost. Only justified for enterprise compliance needs.”
“For internal tools that don't need to be beautiful, Retool eliminates weeks of dev time. Genuinely useful.”
“The editor experience is functional but uninspiring. Sanity's customizable studio is more pleasant to work in.”
“AI-generated internal tools will commoditize this space, but Retool's head start and enterprise adoption provide a moat.”
