Key feature comparison
Content modeling you control
Agility CMS gives you fixed content types with limited nesting. In Sanity, schemas are code. Developers define types, relationships, and validation rules in TypeScript, version them in Git, and generate types automatically. Your content model matches your business logic instead of working around the CMS.
AI built into every layer
Agility CMS has bolt-on AI. In Sanity, AI runs through the whole stack: Content Agent handles bulk edits through conversation, Agent API manages schema-aware generation and translation, Compute triggers automation on any content event, and the MCP Server gives AI agents governed access to your content.
A Studio your editors will actually use
Sanity Studio is fully configurable. Developers can build custom input components, tailor editorial views per team, and add integrations directly into the workspace. Real-time collaboration is built in: multiple editors see each other's changes live, no refresh required.
Automation without middleware
Agility CMS has no native workflow automation. Sanity's Compute layer lets you trigger functions on any content change: send to translation, validate before publish, sync to a third-party system, or kick off a content agent. No extra infrastructure. No pipeline to maintain.
Centralize content management across all platforms
Create content once, reuse everywhere
No matter the channel, region, or device—deliver on-brand, consistent, and up-to-date content by projecting every display from a uniform structured content layer.
Reuse, mix, and match content for different contexts, while keeping every touchpoint in sync with your structured content.
