From Prismic to Basehub

We are the Prismic to Basehub migration experts

Challenges with Prismic

Key pain points

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.

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.

Benefits of Basehub

Key advantages

BaseHub CMS is generating buzz among developers for its fast, collaborative, and AI-powered environment. We really like the Notion style editor. Feels great to drop a / and you type in what you want. E.g heading, or bullet points etc.

It's pretty good for creating and organizing content. Even for teams that are new to CMS platforms. Features like easy nested repeater fields, real-time branching for team workflows, and seamless GraphQL integration impress both solo makers and growing agencies. The platform’s Typesafe approach and AI-assisted writing tools help speed up the publishing process, while modern UI design keeps the learning curve gentle for newcomers.

If you can handle the initial information overload when you first spin up an environment it's an incredible tool for collaboration and rapid site scaffolding.

They also have a pretty good freemium pricing model (nodody has as good as Sanity) and strong documentation help projects get off the ground quickly, especially for Next.js and React use cases. Frequent updates and community engagement is high, and the core team that built it, are from a really nice design focused agency. So can't knock it that much.

Intuitive Notion-style editor

If you can use Notion, you can get content into BaseHub without begging a developer for help. It is light, fast and easy to navigate

Effortless nested repeater fields

You can nest and stack content structures. It’s one of the few tools where complex schemas don’t instantly become a crime scene.

Real-time content branching

Branching lets teams experiment, test ideas, and push updates without breaking production. Preview changes instantly, merge when ready, panic never.

Ready-to-use GraphQL integration

BaseHub ships with clean, auto-generated GraphQL APIs, so developers don’t waste hours wiring resolvers or schema stitching. Query, fetch, and ship.

Typesafe SDK support

You get fully typed responses out of the box, which means fewer runtime surprises and a smoother dev experience. Your IDE becomes your safety net.

Collaborative team workflows

Teams can work together without stepping on each other’s toes, with clean approval flows and role-based editing. It’s built for fast-moving content teams.
