What is Sanity?
Sanity is a headless CMS that stores content as structured documents and pairs them with an editing app you configure in code.
What does it do?
Keeps content in a queryable document store you read through the GROQ or GraphQL APIs. The Studio editor is a React app you shape yourself, with real-time collaboration, document versions, live preview and on-the-fly image transformation.
Who is it for?
Development teams building sites and apps in React, Next.js or similar frameworks who need non-technical editors, and content operations juggling many locales or output channels.

About Sanity

Sanity is the structured-content platform that took 'content as data' more seriously than any competitor and ended up with the most flexible headless CMS in the category. The schema-as-code workflow (Sanity Studio is configured in TypeScript) is a forcing function for content quality, and the real-time collaborative editor (Portable Text) is the closest thing to a 'Notion for headless CMS' experience. Pricing is generous on the free tier (3 users, unlimited content) and the paid tiers scale on collaborators + API CDN traffic.

Best for

  • Engineering-driven teams that want schema-as-code and a real CMS-as-database
  • Sites needing real-time multi-author editing with conflict resolution
  • Anyone shipping multi-locale, multi-channel content (web + app + email)
