Strapi vs Sanity FAQ
Strapi vs Sanity — comparison answers and implementation details for headless CMS projects.
Ask our teamChoose Strapi if you want open-source, self-hosted control — you own the database, API and infrastructure, with lower long-term cost at scale. Choose Sanity if editorial UX matters most — real-time collaboration, live preview and GROQ queries in a fully managed service. Most Next.js marketing sites lean Sanity; products needing custom backend logic lean Strapi.
Both integrate well with Next.js. Sanity has first-class live preview, Visual Editing and GROQ — ideal for content-heavy marketing sites. Strapi offers REST and GraphQL APIs with more backend customization — better when content types are tightly coupled to product data or you need self-hosted deployment.
WordPress bundles content management and page rendering. A headless CMS only manages content — your Next.js frontend fetches via API and controls 100% of rendering. This separation delivers better performance, multi-channel delivery and independent upgrade paths for content and frontend.
Yes. Sanity Studio is widely regarded as the best editorial experience in headless CMS — structured content with real-time preview. Strapi's content manager is intuitive for editors once schemas are configured. We tailor both with custom input components and validation for your team's workflow.
We build migration scripts that export WordPress content via the REST API and transform it into your new CMS schema — posts, pages, media, categories and custom fields. Validation compares source and destination; WordPress stays live until cutover.
A headless CMS build with schema design, Next.js integration and live preview typically runs 6–10 weeks. Cost depends on content model complexity, number of locales, migration scope from WordPress and custom editorial workflows. We quote fixed-fee after a scoping workshop.
Every project includes editor training — creating content, managing media, using live preview and publishing workflows — plus written documentation and video recordings for onboarding new team members.
