A git-based CMS that stores content as files in your repo versus a hosted content platform with a structured content graph — pick based on whether content lives next to code or in a database.
Pick Keystatic when content is small, version-controlled alongside the code, and you want editors to make pull requests through a friendly admin — perfect for marketing sites, docs, and small blogs where the git history is a feature. Pick Sanity when content volume, real-time collaboration, structured references, and multi-channel delivery matter, and you want a hosted backend you can query from anywhere.
