What reviewers say
Bars show how often it is raisedPraise
6 themesRated #1 headless CMS on G2 for four consecutive years thanks to multiplayer editing and real-time collaboration.
Sanity Studio is fully customizable in React code, giving developers more control than any visual CMS competitor.
GROQ query language and real-time Content Lake APIs are uniquely powerful for complex content models.
Visual Editing works across Next.js, Nuxt, Astro, and SvelteKit so frontend choice is not constrained.
Complaints
6 themesSteep learning curve for non-developers; documentation gaps on advanced use cases are commonly cited in G2 reviews.
Pricing scales aggressively with API calls and asset usage, making large content libraries expensive at runtime.
Vendor lock-in is real because content is tied to GROQ and the Content Lake schema, making migrations painful.
Requires developer involvement to set up schemas and Studio; not a click-to-publish tool like WordPress.
Ratings: 4.6/5 on g2 (0 reviews). As recorded 7 June 2026; counts move, so check the source before quoting.

The actual decision
We sell one of these twoPath A
Buy Sanity
Right when small budget, in-house team. You get the measurement, and the work of turning it into published pages and earned citations stays with your team.
Path B
Hire someone to run it
Right when nobody to act on it. Disclosure: this is what we sell, which is a reason to read us critically. It is also why every figure here carries the date we checked it, and every judgement carries the quote it came from.
