Headless CMS. The free plan gives 20 seats, 10k documents and 250k API requests a month.

A roomy free plan if your content lives in a database and your site lives somewhere else. Sanity is a headless content platform with a customisable editing studio and a hosted content database. The Free plan is $0 forever and lists 20 seats, 2 public datasets, 250k API requests and 1m API CDN requests a month, 100GB of bandwidth, 100GB of assets, 10k documents, unlimited locales and 1,000 AI credits a month. Growth costs $15 per seat per month, allows 50 seats and 25k documents, and lets datasets be private. G2 shows 4.7 from 926 reviews, with 81% five-star ratings on the reviews page. Its main criticism there is a steep learning curve, with reviewers pointing to a lack of beginner-friendly tutorials and documentation. A r/reactjs user said the Sanity Studio for editing works very well. It suits developers who want to shape the editing interface in code and can spend time learning the query model.

πŸ‘Ž Watch out

  • βˆ’G2 reviewers find the learning curve steep, especially because of a lack of beginner-friendly tutorials and documentation.
  • βˆ’Free datasets are public only, so private data needs the Growth plan.
  • βˆ’Free is capped at 10k documents, and Growth raises that only to 25k.
  • βˆ’Both Free and Growth list the same 250k API requests and 100GB bandwidth, so heavier traffic needs an Enterprise quote.
  • βˆ’Trustpilot has only 1 review, 3.6 stars, so it adds little.

The catch

Free datasets are public only. If your content must be private, you need Growth at $15 per seat per month. The 10k document cap is the next limit you will notice, and Growth lifts it only to 25k, so large content libraries need a custom Enterprise plan. G2 reviewers describe a steep learning curve, and say beginner-friendly tutorials and documentation are thin. Expect to spend time on the content model and queries before editors see anything. The pricing page lists identical API request, CDN request and bandwidth limits on Free and Growth, so those limits do not rise when you pay. I found the Trustpilot page has only one review, so I did not rely on it.
