Reviewer scorecard
“Mature API, excellent SDKs, and the content model is flexible. The enterprise choice for headless CMS.”
“GROQ queries and the schema definition in code are elegant. The Studio is highly customizable with React.”
“Expensive for what it is. Sanity and Payload offer better DX at lower cost. Only justified for enterprise compliance needs.”
“The developer experience is excellent. Content Lake and structured content are genuinely powerful abstractions.”
“The editor experience is functional but uninspiring. Sanity's customizable studio is more pleasant to work in.”
“The most customizable CMS editor experience. Portable Text for rich content is superior to markdown or HTML.”
