The short version

  • Only Sanity has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Sanity free plan limited to 10,000 documents and 100GB assets; Weavr products are packaged rather than open, so a flow Weavr does not support is not something you can build around, and you discover the limits after integrating.
  • They diverge on capability: Sanity covers Content API, Weavr covers Plug-and-play products.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Sanity

  • Free plan limited to 10,000 documents and 100GB assets
  • Free plan supports only public datasets
  • Growth plan capped at 50 seats maximum
  • Private datasets, scheduled drafts, and comments/tasks require paid plans
  • Annual billing unavailable for Growth plan; Enterprise-only

Weavr

  • Products are packaged rather than open, so a flow Weavr does not support is not something you can build around, and you discover the limits after integrating.
  • Programme economics depend on interchange, and SaaS vendors routinely overestimate how much card volume their customers will actually route through the embedded product.
  • It is a small company with limited headcount supporting a regulated dependency, which is a real concentration risk for a feature your customers rely on.
  • Monthly minimums on card programmes mean a slow-adopting customer base leaves you paying for volume you never reach.
  • European interchange caps hold programme revenue well below what US embedded finance case studies suggest, so imported business cases do not transfer.
