We are the Prismic to Dato CMS migration experts

Challenges with Prismic

We have a long history with Prismic, and at one point, we were agency partners, so count us as biased. However, if you're anything like us, we've had an absolutely terrible experience with Prismic.

They've historically changed their API ad hoc, resulting in many broken websites, which is especially bad for an agency. They've dumped infrastructure on the community, resulting in expensive migration bills and client dissatisfaction and they've updated their system with no way to migrate other than to rebuild your entire website for literally years.

If you're having a hell of a time, we can help you move away and do it without breakages. We've had to migrate quite a few folks and we have a standardised process that lets us migrate images, videos, text and content structure to the platform of your choice.

Key pain points

Dependency on third-party hosting

You don’t control the infrastructure, Prismic does. So you’re tied to their uptime, limits, and CDN behaviour.

Limited native integrations

Most serious integrations require extra tooling or custom code because Prismic’s built-in ecosystem is pretty thin.

Steep learning curve

Slices, custom types, and the editor workflow take time to understand, especially for teams new to component-driven CMS structures.

Lack of built-in versioning

There’s no full document history or global rollback, meaning mistakes are harder to recover from without workarounds.

Escalating pricing model

Costs jump fast as you add seats, locales, or repositories, making it expensive to scale a growing content team.

Limited out-of-box features

Beyond basic content creation, most advanced needs require custom development, external tools, or plugins.
