Reviewer scorecard
“Mature API, excellent SDKs, and the content model is flexible. The enterprise choice for headless CMS.”
“Eliminates 90% of server state management boilerplate. Caching, refetching, and mutations just work.”
“Expensive for what it is. Sanity and Payload offer better DX at lower cost. Only justified for enterprise compliance needs.”
“Solved server state management so well that it changed how React apps are built. The devtools are excellent.”
“The editor experience is functional but uninspiring. Sanity's customizable studio is more pleasant to work in.”
“TanStack Query's multi-framework support and the broader TanStack ecosystem are defining modern web data management.”
