Sanity

Structure powers intelligence

· for mid-market

Sanity is a headless content platform that treats structured content as the substrate for AI agents, storefronts, and apps. Engineering and content teams model their own schemas, configure the Studio editing environment, and pipe the same content graph into web, mobile, and agentic surfaces. The buyer is typically a CTO or head of digital at a mid-market or enterprise commerce brand replacing a legacy CMS to support AI-driven merchandising and omnichannel delivery.

> pick this if

Pick this if you're a CTO or head of digital at a mid-market or enterprise brand building a composable stack where the same structured content must serve a storefront, apps, and AI agents — and you have engineering capacity to model schemas and operate the Studio.

> look elsewhere if

Look elsewhere if you're an SMB without dedicated engineering, want a turnkey page builder with visual WYSIWYG authoring, or need an out-of-the-box PIM with prebuilt commerce connectors rather than a schema-first platform you assemble yourself.

Mid-market DTC apparel brand, $30M GMV, 8-person digital team with 3 engineers
Migrating off a monolithic CMS to a composable stack where product copy, editorial, and lookbooks feed both a Next.js storefront and an LLM-powered on-site assistant
→ Single content graph queried via GROQ for both surfaces; editorial team ships localized PDP content across 6 markets without engineering tickets
Enterprise home goods retailer, $200M GMV, 40+ editors across 4 regions plus a platform engineering group
Building an AI PIM layer that enriches 80k SKUs with structured attributes, generates variant copy, and syndicates to marketplaces and a React Native app
→ Schema-driven enrichment pipeline cuts time-to-publish for new collections from weeks to days and gives agents typed content to ground responses
Composable-native B2B manufacturer, $75M GMV, 5 engineers and a 10-person content ops team
Standing up a content backbone that serves a commerce frontend, a sales portal, and an internal RAG agent used by field reps
→ One schema model reused across three surfaces; SSO and granular roles keep regional editors scoped while the agent pulls from the same validated dataset

bidirectional editorial

CrystallizeSanity wins when content modeling flexibility and the Studio editing experience matter most; Crystallize is tighter for product-centric catalogs with built-in commerce primitives and pricing.
