Sanity vs TinaCMS

Sanity is a web-based content platform for building websites, mobile products, content applications, and customer-facing or internal agents. It supports GraphQL and GROQ, localization, custom role permissions, webhooks, content previews, and asset transformations. Teams can edit together with real-time collaboration and multiplayer presence, while revisions are stored for every document. Functions can automate content operations and trigger when datasets change. The Free plan costs nothing and includes up to 20 user seats, two public-only datasets, unlimited content types and locales, and community support. Viewer-role users do not use a seat; other user types do. Growth costs $15 a month and can be tried for free. Enterprise pricing is custom, with SAML single sign-on, dedicated support, an uptime SLA, and custom usage quotas. SOC 2, GDPR, and CCPA compliance are included across plans. Sanity's MCP Server connects the platform to Cursor, Claude Code, v0, and other tools.

TinaCMS is an open-source, Git-backed headless CMS for adding no-code editing to websites. It stores Markdown, MDX, and JSON content in Git instead of a proprietary database. On React sites, editors can make visual changes with real-time feedback. Its backend offers a queryable GraphQL content API with filtering, searching, and pagination. Teams can use TinaCloud or host the backend on their own stack. Documented integrations include Astro, Next.js, Hugo, and Jekyll. Editorial Workflow provides branch creation, protected branches, automatic pull requests, and shareable previews on Business and Enterprise plans. The Free plan costs nothing, billed Forever, and includes two users and two roles. Team is $24 a month, billed $290 billed annually (save $58). Team Plus is $41 a month, Business is $249 a month, and Enterprise has no listed price. Every plan has a 100 MB asset size cap.
