Reviewer scorecard
“Mature API, excellent SDKs, and the content model is flexible. The enterprise choice for headless CMS.”
“The fastest way to deploy a serverless function. Write TypeScript in the browser, get an instant URL. No config, no deploy step.”
“Expensive for what it is. Sanity and Payload offer better DX at lower cost. Only justified for enterprise compliance needs.”
“Brilliant for prototyping, webhooks, and small automations. The social aspect adds unexpected value — fork and remix.”
“The editor experience is functional but uninspiring. Sanity's customizable studio is more pleasant to work in.”
“Val Town is what serverless should have been — write code, it runs. The social coding model adds a new dimension.”
