Strapi and Sanity are two leading headless CMS platforms with fundamentally different approaches. Strapi is an open-source, self-hosted solution built on Node.js that offers complete infrastructure control, visual content modeling, and predictable flat-rate pricing ($0-$499/month). Sanity is a cloud-first platform with real-time collaborative editing, schema-as-code content modeling using JavaScript, and usage-based pricing. Strapi uses traditional REST/GraphQL APIs with a database-driven architecture, while Sanity employs GROQ query language and stores content in its proprietary Content Lake. Choose Strapi for infrastructure control, compliance requirements, and custom deployments. Choose Sanity for rapid deployment, distributed team collaboration, and managed cloud infrastructure.
