From Prismic to Strapi

We are the Prismic to Strapi 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 Strapi

Key advantages

If you’re the kind of team that likes to get your hands dirty with real code instead of fighting a bloated enterprise UI, Strapi will feel like home. It’s open-source, customisable, and developer-centric. You get full access to the codebase, no licensing paywalls, and the freedom to shape your CMS exactly the way you want it.

It is flexible. You can use React, Vue, Angular, mobile apps, and smart displays to push content. And despite being dev-leaning, it still gives you GUI-based drag-and-drop schema generation, which means you can spin up content models fast without digging into JSON files every five minutes.

Node.js driven architecture

Built on Node.js, Strapi plugs straight into the modern JavaScript ecosystem. If your team already lives in JS-land, Strapi fits right in.

Seamless web technology integration

Pick your poison React, Vue, or Angular. Strapi plays nicely with all of them, making it easy to ship content.

Highly modular approach

Every part of Strapi is built like Lego. Add what you need, remove what you don’t, and customise endlessly. It’s great if you love building your CMS exactly your way instead of wrestling with rigid templates.

RESTful API flexibility

Out of the box, Strapi generates clean REST APIs that are easy to consume, easy to extend, and easy to customise. Ideal for multi-channel content delivery without rewriting half your backend.

Supports GraphQL APIs

With its GraphQL plugin, you get structured queries, reduced over-fetching, and a nicer developer experience with zero hacking required.

Flexible content management

Strapi lets you model content however you want, from simple pages to complex, relational structures. Combined with a drag-and-drop schema builder, it gives teams full control without feeling boxed in.
