Headless CMS
Siteshare vs Sanity
Sanity is a headless content platform: content models in code, Studio for editors, content in Sanity's Content Lake. Siteshare adds an editor to the site you already built, with the content staying in your repository.
| Question | Siteshare | Sanity |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | An editor at the client's own site, /edit, on the site you built | A headless content platform with Sanity Studio and the Content Lake |
| How someone edits | Chat, select or draw on the real site; double-click to type | Forms in Studio; visual editing with click-to-edit overlays where set up |
| Setup in your code | None: a GitHub App on the repository | A schema in code; the site fetches from Sanity's APIs; draft mode and plugins for visual editing |
| Where content lives | Your repository | Sanity's hosted Content Lake, as structured JSON |
| Before it goes live | A draft, a build check on a clean copy, then one commit on main | Drafts and publishing in Studio; the AI agent proposes, people approve |
| AI | An assistant per site, built in | Content Agent, AI Assist, Agent Actions and an MCP server, with AI credits |
| Price | Free for 1 site, then $9 a site a month, down to $4 as you grow (5 sites $36, 20 sites $126); clients and builders unlimited | Free (up to 20 seats), Growth $15 per seat a month, Enterprise custom |
The difference: where the content lives
Sanity moves content out of the repository into its Content Lake and serves it through APIs. That is powerful for a new build that reuses content across many channels, and it means wiring the site to Sanity: a schema in code, queries, draft mode and plugins for visual editing.
Siteshare leaves the content where it is: in your repository, in your components and Markdown files. There is nothing to migrate and nothing to wire up. The client changes the site by talking to it, and each publish is one commit on your main branch.
For whom
Sanity is made for teams with structured content and editors who work in it every day. Siteshare is made for the site a builder hands over: a client who changes something a few times a month and should not have to learn a tool.
Price
Sanity charges per seat on Growth. Siteshare charges per site, and the people who edit a site are free.
When Sanity is the better choice
- You're starting a new build with structured content reused across a site, an app and other channels.
- A large editorial team works on content at the same time.
- You want a mature content platform with its own APIs, real-time collaboration and an AI stack.
Questions
Do I have to rebuild my site to use Sanity?
To use Sanity, the site has to fetch its content from Sanity's APIs, with a schema for each type. Siteshare works on the site as it is.
Can Siteshare and Sanity work together?
Siteshare edits what is in your repository. Content that lives in Sanity is edited in Sanity Studio.
