What is Sanity?

Sanity is a composable content cloud that treats content as structured data. It offers real-time collaborative editing, GROQ query language, and Portable Text for rich content modeling.

What is Strapi?

Strapi is the leading open-source headless CMS. Founded in 2015, it auto-generates REST and GraphQL APIs from your content types. Self-host for free or use Strapi Cloud from $29/mo.

Key Differences

01

Hosting Model

Sanity is fully managed cloud — no servers to maintain. Strapi can be self-hosted for free or use Strapi Cloud. Self-hosting gives data ownership but requires DevOps.

02

Collaboration

Sanity has real-time collaborative editing. Strapi has no real-time collaboration or visual editing — it is a traditional admin panel.

03

Cost

Strapi self-hosted is free. Sanity free tier has 500K API requests/mo. For high-traffic sites, Strapi self-hosted is significantly cheaper.

04

API Generation

Strapi auto-generates REST and GraphQL APIs from content types. Sanity uses GROQ queries that you write manually for more flexibility.

05

Open Source

Strapi is fully open-source (MIT license). Sanity Studio is open-source but the content cloud is proprietary.
