Reviewer scorecard

Builder
80/100 · ship

Mature API, excellent SDKs, and the content model is flexible. The enterprise choice for headless CMS.

80/100 · ship

Types from server to client with zero code generation. The DX is magical — change a server type, client updates instantly.

Skeptic
45/100 · skip

Expensive for what it is. Sanity and Payload offer better DX at lower cost. Only justified for enterprise compliance needs.

80/100 · ship

For TypeScript full-stack apps, tRPC eliminates an entire category of bugs. No schemas, no codegen, just types.

Creator
45/100 · skip

The editor experience is functional but uninspiring. Sanity's customizable studio is more pleasant to work in.

tRPC proved that type-safe APIs don't need schemas or code generation. The idea is being adopted everywhere.
