Composable content platform and customizable headless CMS
Sanity is a composable content platform built around the idea that your CMS should be as flexible as your code. Its editing environment, Sanity Studio, is an open-source React application you configure and extend in JavaScript, so teams shape the exact editing experience they need — custom input components, workflows, and previews — rather than accepting a fixed admin panel. Content is modeled as structured data and stored in the Content Lake, then delivered to any front end through APIs.
What sets Sanity apart is real-time collaboration and a query-first architecture. Multiple editors work on the same document simultaneously with live updates, and GROQ (Sanity's open query language) plus a GraphQL API let developers fetch precisely the content shape each surface requires. Portable Text handles rich text as structured data instead of HTML, making content truly reusable across web, mobile, voice, and commerce. A generous free tier, image pipeline, and asset handling round out a platform that scales from a solo blog to enterprise digital experiences.
Sanity targets engineering-led teams building custom, multi-channel products who want maximum control over both authoring and delivery. Pricing runs from a free-forever plan supporting many seats and datasets to a Growth plan at roughly $15 per occupied seat per month (viewers free) with pay-as-you-go usage, and a custom Enterprise tier adding SSO, audit logs, data residency, and SLAs. It competes with Contentful, Storyblok, and Strapi, differentiating on developer flexibility and real-time editing.
