Tangen vs Sanity

Structured content, without the usage bill.

Sanity pairs a flexible content lake with a great editor, billed by API usage and seats. Tangen gives you structured content and a real admin you host yourself, with AI built in.

Where Tangen is different

vs Sanity
  • Self-hosted, not metered

    Tangen runs on your infrastructure. There is no usage-based bill that scales with your success.

  • A typed schema, not GROQ only

    Model in TypeScript and query with a typed SDK, TangenQL, REST, or GraphQL.

  • A full admin, not just a studio

    Tangen ships auth, RBAC, flows, jobs, and media, not only a content editor.

  • AI that ships with it

    MCP and RAG are part of the platform, with audience-scoped retrieval and scoped agent tools.

  • Localization in real columns

    Per-field localization stored as typed columns, with blocks and per-locale media.

  • No seat math

    Invite the whole team without counting editors against a plan.

The honest version

Where Sanity may be the better fit.

We would rather you pick the right tool than oversell ours. Reach for Sanity when:

  • You want a hosted content lake with real-time collaboration handled for you.

  • Your team is already deep in GROQ and Sanity Studio.

  • You prefer a managed service over self-hosting.

Build on Tangen in the private beta.

Define a content type, push it, and query it from anywhere, with your own AI agent doing the rest. Request access and we will get you set up.
