Sanity speed-of-deployment + collab. Payload TypeScript-first + self-host + cost.

ვრცლად

Sanity vs Payload არის "managed cloud convenience" vs "self-hosted control" arc-ი headless CMS market-ში 2026-ში. Sanity Norwegian start-up (2017), $100M+ ARR, 100K+ projects. Payload US-based (2018), v3 2024 Next.js-native rewrite, 12K+ GitHub stars.

Developer ergonomics: Payload TypeScript-first — schema → types automatic, 100% type-safe queries via Local API. Sanity JavaScript schema, type generation external (sanity-codegen + groq-types). Payload feels Next.js-native; Sanity feels editorial-tool-first.

Collaboration: Sanity unique strength — real-time multi-user editing (Google Docs feel). Payload single-user-at-a-time. Multi-editor team → Sanity wins clearly.

Cost reality 3-year: Sanity Free tier sufficient 80% projects ($0). Growth tier $99/mo × 36 = $3,564 if needed. Payload self-hosted: DigitalOcean $20/mo + Postgres Neon free + setup time = ~$720 + 8 dev-hours. Payload Cloud $35/mo × 36 = $1,260.

Craftwebstudio recommendation: speed + multi-editor + ok-with-vendor-cloud → Sanity. TypeScript-first + cost-sensitive + data-sovereignty → Payload. ჩვენი own admin panel — Drizzle + Neon + custom hand-built (not Sanity/Payload), მაგრამ client recommendations 60/40 Sanity/Payload split.

ხშირად დასმული კითხვები

Migration Sanity → Payload (or vice versa) ჯდება?▾

Schema port: 1-2 დღე. Content export Sanity ndjson → Payload import script: 4-8 საათი. Frontend client refactor 1-3 დღე. Total $1,500-$5,000 typical.

Vendor lock-in worry — Sanity?▾

Real concern. Content lives in Sanity Cloud. Export possible (ndjson), მაგრამ schema + media references rebuild needed. Mitigation: regular backup automation. Payload self-hosted = no vendor.

Payload v3 Next.js native რას ცვლის?▾

Same Next.js server hosts admin + frontend. Local API → direct DB access without HTTP roundtrip. App Router-ში RSC integration native. v2 → v3 migration 8-16 hours.

Sanity-ის Studio self-host შესაძლებელია?▾

Studio კი (npm package, deploys anywhere). Content Lake (database) არა — Sanity Cloud only. ჩვენი deployment pattern: Studio Vercel-ზე + Content Lake managed.
