How to choose

How to choose a Sanity alternative

  1. 1

    What drives your bill

    Check which parts drive your current invoice: extra datasets, paid editor seats, dedicated support or a larger content allowance. Growth includes two datasets, but extras and add-ons have separate charges. Compare the costs you actually need, rather than assuming every Sanity customer has the same bill.

  2. 2

    Who owns your records

    Ask whether you can keep and export your records, including drafts, references and review history, if your needs change. A database you own keeps the content under your control. Check separately what happens to media files, permissions and older version history during a move.

  3. 3

    Fit your rules and fields

    List the fields, approvals, access controls and website delivery your team needs. Your option should match the rules people actually use, including who reviews and when an old approval no longer applies. Enterprise DNA shapes the editing experience around its users, with access controls and identity checks scoped into a custom setup.

  4. 4

    Plan the move carefully

    A move is more than copying text. A Sanity document export can bring document data, references, rich text and nested content across, while media files, permissions, editing customisations and older version history need separate migration work. Confirm how the current website stays running and how delivery is tested before switching.

The option that fits

Own a version built for your business

Enterprise DNA builds a version around your fields, reviews and website needs, brings your Sanity data across, and runs it for you. Your records sit in a database you own, and you work with them in plain language. The service is one setup fee, then a monthly retainer, with no per-seat plans. If you want to try the approach yourself first, there is also a free version you can run yourself.
