We are the Contentstack to Kontent.ai migration experts


Challenges with Contentstack

Contentstack comes with a hefty price tag and an even heftier learning curve. You don’t just “spin it up,” you architect it, model it, train teams, fight through workflows, and hope your budget survives the onboarding. The editor can drag when the content tree gets big, and the visual builder starts feeling like it's running a marathon with ankle weights.

Pricing is also locked behind sales calls and enterprise paperwork. Good luck, if you want to switch platforms later. The custom setups and integrations turn migration into a full-blown project. Even with strong APIs, a lot of “advanced” tasks still need bespoke dev work, meaning you’ll rely on specialists whether you like it or not.

Key pain points

Steep learning curve

Even seasoned teams need time to get comfortable. Content modeling and workflows aren’t “plug and play,” expect onboarding sessions and a couple of headaches.

Complex initial setup

Getting everything wired up the way you want takes real developer hours. This isn’t a “spin it up on a Friday” CMS.

Performance lags in editor

Large content models and lots of entries can make the editor feel sluggish, especially when teams scale up.

Limited self-service customization

Anything beyond the basics tends to require a developer. Marketers won’t be bending this platform to their will alone.

Editor usability concerns

The visual builder is powerful but can get overwhelming fast, especially with deep nesting or complex blocks.

Content modeling complexity

You’ll spend time architecting your content upfront. If your team isn’t used to strict modeling, brace yourself.

Benefits of Kontent.ai

Calling your CMS “Kontent dot ai” is a brilliant way to convince people you’ve built an AI-powered future. And to be fair, the platform does have a clean editor, strong workflow tools, and a respectable multi-channel setup.

It's perfect for the kind of company that has more infosec members than it does have devs. But calling yourself an AI platform doesn’t mean you’re built like one.

Real AI-driven CMS platforms start at the foundation with structured content, flexible modeling, real-time indexing, and an architecture that doesn’t panic the moment you try something complex. Sanity doesn’t even market itself as “AI-first,” but it’s been ahead of the curve for years. They shipped an embedding index before “AI CMS” was a pitch deck buzzword. We even built one of the first AI search tools on top of it.

So yes, Kontent.ai is great. If you want a polished interface and enterprise workflows, go for it. And if you’re dead-set on building your website there, talk to us first. We’ll walk you through it and maybe even find a better way before you spend six months discovering the limits yourself.

Key advantages

Intuitive content management

You shouldn’t need a week of onboarding to publish a paragraph. Kontent.ai nails this with a clean interface that doesn’t punish you for being a marketer instead of a developer.

Flexible content modeling

Build content the way your brain works. Modular, structured, reusable. No dev intervention every time marketing decides “we need one more field.”

Strong API-first architecture

The APIs are predictable, well-documented, and don’t require wild workarounds. Everything connects the way it should and developers stay happy too.
