About
Sanity is a content operating system for building and managing structured content across websites, apps, and AI-powered experiences. It combines a configurable content studio, a real-time content backend, and automation tools so teams can model content, collaborate efficiently, and deliver it to multiple channels from a single platform.
The platform is designed for organizations that need flexible content workflows and developer-friendly infrastructure. It supports structured content modeling, live previews, visual editing, content releases, agentic workflows, and APIs for integrating content into modern applications.
- Configurable Sanity Studio for editorial workflows
- Real-time content backend with structured JSON documents
- Automation and AI features including Content Agent, Agent Context, and Agent Actions
- Content releases, live previews, and visual editing

Free Tier Value
This free tier is a strong starter package: it includes the core hosted content platform, AI-assisted content features, previews, and visual editing, but it caps collaboration at 20 seats, 2 roles, and 2 public datasets. Compared with the cheapest paid Growth plan at $15 per seat per month, that makes the free tier worth about $8/month for a small team, with no credit card requirement mentioned and no time limit, but still clearly capped.
