Comparison
Editkraft vs. Storyblok
Storyblok is a mature headless CMS: visual editor, component-based content, APIs for every framework — with your content hosted in Storyblok's cloud and pricing per seat. Editkraft solves a narrower problem: end clients editing Next.js websites, with the content in your client's own Supabase and one flat price per website. Which one fits depends on where you want your content to live and who does the editing.
| Editkraft | Storyblok | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | An editing layer for Next.js websites: hosted studio, open-source renderer (MIT), storage in your client's Supabase. | A full headless CMS platform: visual editor, component library, content APIs and a large app ecosystem. |
| Where content lives | In your client's own Supabase — Editkraft stores account and billing, never the content. | In Storyblok's cloud; your website fetches it through Storyblok's APIs. |
| If you cancel | The website keeps rendering: open-source renderer + the client's own database. Only editing pauses. | Your site depends on Storyblok's APIs to render content — before leaving, you export content and replace the integration. |
| Pricing model | Flat per website: one site free, Pro at €12/month per website — unlimited editors, no seats. | Per seat and tier: free Starter with 1 seat, Growth from $99/month with 5 seats, extra seats $15/month each (as of mid-2026). |
| Editing model | Click a block in the live preview, edit fields and text in a hosted studio — built for non-technical end clients. | Visual editor over component 'bloks' with preview — built for content teams; powerful, with a steeper setup. |
| Framework fit | Deliberately narrow: Next.js App Router on Vercel with Supabase. npx editkraft init sets up an existing project. | Framework-agnostic: SDKs for Next.js, Nuxt, Astro, SvelteKit and more — one CMS across many stacks and channels. |
| Open source | Renderer, schema and CLI: MIT. The hosted studio is the paid product. | SDKs are open source, the platform is proprietary SaaS. |
Choose Storyblok if …
- you deliver content to multiple frameworks or channels, not just one Next.js website,
- a content team works in structured workflows — localization at scale, scheduled releases, approval chains,
- you want a large ecosystem of integrations and an established enterprise vendor behind your CMS.
Choose Editkraft if …
- you build one Next.js + Supabase project per client and the end client should edit text, images and blocks themselves,
- your clients' content should live in their own database — not in a CMS vendor's cloud,
- you price projects flat per website and don't want seat counts to decide what a client pays.
Storyblok is an excellent CMS and the safer choice for content operations at scale. Editkraft is not a smaller Storyblok — it is a different bet: the website is code you own, the content is data your client owns, and the editor is the only part you rent.
