Reviewer scorecard
“Mature API, excellent SDKs, and the content model is flexible. The enterprise choice for headless CMS.”
“20x faster than Babel with full compatibility. Used by Next.js which validates production readiness.”
“Expensive for what it is. Sanity and Payload offer better DX at lower cost. Only justified for enterprise compliance needs.”
“Babel is effectively replaced. SWC's speed improvement is dramatic and the compatibility is excellent.”
“The editor experience is functional but uninspiring. Sanity's customizable studio is more pleasant to work in.”
“SWC is the invisible engine powering modern JS tooling. Rust compilation speed enables new tool architectures.”
