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 Storyblok
If you’ve ever tried explaining “headless” to a content team and watched their eyes glaze over, Storyblok is your peace offering. On the surface, it appears to be great. For instance, its visual editor makes you feel like you are finally living in 2025. But start digging, and you’ll find some gremlins in the codebase and the pricing page. Their APIs are still missing some basic functionalities like fetching child or sibling pages.
Still, if Storyblok is your choice, we can make it work. Our team knows how to set it up cleanly, dodge the common blockers, and keep your build from turning into another “looked nice, aged badly” project.
Key advantages
Visual editing capabilities
Yes, you read that right, you can do real-time, on-page editing. Make a change, see it instantly, no staging limbo, which means you can stop “guess and publish.”
Component-based approach
You can build a component once and use it everywhere. You can also update a button or banner in one place, and the entire site fixes itself.
Efficient content structuring
Your content stays clean, organised, reusable, and not scattered across 40 pages. Developers work with structured data, editors drag-and-drop pieces like Lego. Everyone gets to stay sane.
Robust multi-language support
One CMS, many languages, zero chaos. Localise content without duplicate pages, messy exports, or spreadsheet archaeology.
Collaborative environment
Writers, designers, and editors can all jump in at the same time without breaking each other’s work. Add comments and approvals. View version histories for teamwork without the headache.
Highly customisable
If your design system can imagine it, you can use Storyblok to model it. There are custom fields, workflows, and logics that can bend to your stack rather than the other way around.
