Why We Chose Strapi 5 Over Other CMS Platforms
A comparison of Strapi 5 vs Contentful, Sanity, and WordPress for modern headless CMS projects.
Headless CMS Landscape in 2026
When we set out to build Sattva, we evaluated every major CMS platform. Here is why Strapi 5 won.
Self-Hosted Control
Contentful and Sanity lock you into their cloud. With Strapi 5, we own our data, our infrastructure, and our deployment timeline.
TypeScript First
Strapi 5 is built with TypeScript from the ground up. This means better IDE support, fewer runtime errors, and a more maintainable codebase.
Dynamic Zones
The dynamic zone system gives us 11 block types that editors can mix and match freely on any page — something Contentful charges extra for.
