What it is

Sanity is a headless CMS centered on structured content, a customizable React-based Studio, real-time collaboration, and a powerful query language (GROQ).

A headless CMS where the editing Studio itself is fully customizable code.

When it fits — and when it doesn’t

A good fit for

  • Custom content workflows

    Tailor the Studio to editors’ needs

  • Structured, multi-channel content

    Model once, deliver anywhere via API

Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

  1. 01

    Learning curve for modeling/GROQ

    More upfront setup than turnkey CMSs

  2. 02

    Usage-based costs can grow

    API/bandwidth usage adds up at scale

What it does well

  • Highly customizable Studio

    Tailor the editing experience with React components

  • Structured content + GROQ

    Strong content modeling and a flexible query language

  • Real-time collaboration

    Live multiplayer editing
