Reviewer scorecard
“Mature API, excellent SDKs, and the content model is flexible. The enterprise choice for headless CMS.”
“Define schema once, get types and validation. The TypeScript inference is seamless. Essential for any TypeScript project.”
“Expensive for what it is. Sanity and Payload offer better DX at lower cost. Only justified for enterprise compliance needs.”
“The defacto standard for TypeScript validation. Integration with tRPC, React Hook Form, and every major library.”
“The editor experience is functional but uninspiring. Sanity's customizable studio is more pleasant to work in.”
“Zod standardized TypeScript validation. The ecosystem built around it (tRPC, AI SDK) proves its importance.”
