Storyblok Reviews & Product Details

I like that Storyblok is flexible for our clients. We’re there to assist with setting up the website, but afterward it can be fully handed over so the client can manage it themselves. Our clients prefer having control of their own website, and it gives them confidence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t like Storyblok’s pricing, because it tends to put my clients off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like about storyblok is the possibilities to modify my website and the ease of use. Storyblok allows me to upload blog posts in any language, upload new pages/offers or edit content already online.

The preview function also allows me to see, before my customers, the changes made. This allows me to adjust what is not working.

I can also properly organize my pages, layout, product sheet and easily find what I am looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Storyblok interface is a bit "old fashioned". I think the interface can be modernized with modules that are more "pretty" for users.

Moreover, it's easy to get lost between items and sub-items on the same page when you want to modify elements Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Storyblok is that it just makes building and managing content easier for everyone. As a developer, I like how flexible it is and how well it works with modern frameworks, so I can structure content the way I want without feeling restricted.

The Visual Editor is also a huge plus because content teams can see their changes as they make them, which cuts down on back-and-forth.

Overall, it has a really nice balance between giving developers the tools they need and making things simple for editors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall I’ve had a really positive experience with Storyblok, so there isn’t much I dislike. If I had to pick something, it’s that there can be a bit of a learning curve when you're first setting up content models or getting familiar with all the features. Once everything is configured it does become much more intuitive and the flexibility is well worth that initial time to setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve worked with many CMSs over the years, and Storyblok truly stands out. It’s exceptionally user‑friendly especially for non‑technical stakeholders — without sacrificing flexibility for developers. The visual editor makes content updates intuitive and incredibly fluid.

What makes Storyblok unique is that you can feel its origin story in the product: it was created by people who understand both web content management and development. That dual perspective is embedded in the entire experience. It breathes both disciplines, and that balance is exceptional.

Their customer focus is another major strength. Even as the company grows, their support team remains responsive and genuinely invested in customer feedback. You feel heard and taken seriously, which is rare in the SaaS world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing major overall. However, for us as a global team managing all markets, some of the more advanced configurations still require developer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our developers really enjoy working with Storyblok. The platform offers a clear and user-friendly UI, strong live preview functionality, and a solid underlying infrastructure. Additionally, Storyblok perfectly aligns with our component-based development strategy, allowing us to develop digital platforms quickly and efficiently. The available tools make developing for Storyblok pleasant and accessible, which directly contributes to a short time-to-market. The live editor, in particular, is especially valuable: content changes are immediately visible, allowing teams to work faster and be less dependent on development. The AI layer also adds a lot of value for our customers. Think of support in content creation, automated translations in the right tone of voice, automations via, for example, n8n, and vector-based search. This allows customers to create, manage, and distribute their content more easily, for example by automatically generating social media posts or automating publication flows. Additionally, the initial setup, configuration, and working with multiple spaces, localization, and new AI capabilities are very well organized. For us, Storyblok is therefore the CMS of choice: modern, flexible, scalable, and pleasant to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Storyblok requires a good setup. Due to the flexibility of components, spaces, and localization, it is important to properly align and maintain the structure, governance, and content models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciate most about Storyblok is the Visual Editor, which allows me to immediately see what I'm editing. This is especially helpful for multilingual projects, as you can easily switch between different display sizes. The accessible Developer Experience and the top editorial UX make using it really pleasant. Storyblok's powerful APIs replace manual development efforts and significantly simplify processes in content operations. I also find the setup super easy, especially with the helpful blueprints and excellent documentation. Additionally, there are now additional ways to easily set up a space via the API. I have already successfully transitioned from other products like PIMCore to Storyblok and highly recommend it. Particularly noteworthy is that Storyblok AI thinks correctly. Not just as an on-top feature but as an integral part, where it really helps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The possibilities for expansion are currently limited. Space, Tool, and Field plugins already allow quite a lot. However, if I want to add functions in the interface itself, for example in the content overview, that is currently not possible. This is both a strength and a weakness.

Storyblok CMS solved our biggest challenge: completely decoupling development from content editing. This separation empowers our editors to make updates swiftly and independently. Best of all, as we continue to extend the system, designers and content editors can build new pages and launch campaigns with little to no developer intervention. This frees our engineering team to focus on technical research, performance optimizations, and experimental features.

For our content team, the biggest wins have been Storyblok’s intuitive, web-centric structure - which organizes pages in folders matching the URL slug path - and its real-time visual editor.

From an engineering standpoint, Storyblok's versatile delivery and management APIs allow for extensive customization through custom field, tool, and space plugins. Leveraging the Storyblok CLI to execute local commands enabled us to build and run highly sophisticated, bulk content migrations tailored to our exact requirements. Furthermore, the ability to easily pull and push schemas has streamlined our CI/CD pipelines, keeping our entire configuration version-controlled in Git. Ultimately, Storyblok provides a vastly superior developer experience and superior performance compared to traditional, legacy CMS solutions.

Excelent long-term choice for growing companies and large enterprises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One drawback is GraphQL performance, which averages around 2.5 seconds per request compared to the much faster REST API (500–700ms). Nevertheless, by leveraging a strong custom caching layer in our application design, we ensure our platform remains incredibly fast.

A notable limitation of Storyblok’s internationalization is the lack of native, per-page language gating, as all configured locales are globally applied to every story. To resolve this at scale, we developed an schema-level (in page content) configuration allowing editors to toggle available locales per page, rendering a fallback notice on the frontend for excluded languages. However, since the delivery API has no intrinsic awareness of this custom routing logic, managing referential integrity across localized hyperlinks is highly complex, making advanced SEO and cross-linking difficult to scale.

The Rich Text Editor uses a specific JSON format to save structured data. While this is great for clean data delivery, mapping this custom JSON format to custom elements or styling on the frontend can sometimes be tedious for developers compared to standard markdown.

It's incredibly easy to use—the user interface really simplifies the process of creating and implementing a webpage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the moment, nothing in particular stands out to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a content team manager I’m not using the CMS on a daily basis Storyblok is so easy to use, I can nip in here and there and still know exactly what I’m doing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing right now, I’m really happy with it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Right off the top of my head, I would say it being an API-first platform, which made it really easy to integrate with frameworks like React and Next.js. For me as a JavaScript software developer, it was a really great tool as opposed to what I and my team had been using beforehand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd say what I dislike about Storyblok is that it may come with a more difficult learning curve for non-technical editors. In my experience, onboarding other stakeholders onto the platform and explaining the content models was quite a pain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
