Migration from Storyblok To Payload CMS
Official partners
Migrate to Payload CMS — Open Source. Flexible. Yours.
If you’re looking to reduce license costs, gain full control, and own your infrastructure — switching from Storyblok to Payload CMS is a smart move.
We’ve delivered projects on both platforms and often see teams outgrow the limitations of SaaS. Payload offers the same key features — and more — with full flexibility, open-source freedom, and powerful customization options.
Why Payload CMS is Better Than Storyblok?
Payload is open source and self-hosted — no monthly SaaS fees, no per-user or per-language charges.
While Storyblok is excellent for managing content, Payload goes beyond — it lets you build not just content structures but also custom admin panels, logic, user roles, dashboards, and internal tools as part of a full backend platform.
With Payload CMS, your content stays where you host it. You have full control over infrastructure, backups, and privacy.
Payload is built for engineers: modern TypeScript stack, full schema control, and clean codebase ready to extend
It’s not just for content — use Payload CMS to build fully custom platforms that combine content, business logic, and user interfaces.
