The main difference between Sanity & Hygraph
Sanity's key advantage over Hygraph is its fully customizable content studio, enabling real-time collaborative editing with live updates—allowing multiple editors simultaneous access and developers complete flexibility to tailor workflows and interfaces.

Key feature comparison
Real-time collaborative editing
Sanity offers real-time collaborative editing, enabling multiple users to simultaneously edit content, providing instant synchronization and live presence indicators, a powerful collaboration capability not available in Hygraph.
Schema as code
Sanity's schema-as-code lets developers define content structures directly in JavaScript or TypeScript, offering greater flexibility and version control compared to Hygraph's visual schema builder, which restricts modeling to predefined UI options.
Customizable editing interface
Sanity's customizable editing interface empowers organizations to tailor the authoring environment precisely to match their unique workflows, offering flexibility and control that Hygraph's ready-made, less adaptable user interface can't match.
Content Lake
Sanity's Content Lake centralizes structured content in a scalable cloud repository, empowering developers with real-time updates and flexible querying capabilities beyond the static, schema-constrained content federation approach typically offered by Hygraph.
Powering PUMA: multi-channel campaigns unified by Sanity
