"Storyblok paved our way to a headless Ecommerce Frontend"
4/5
What do you like best about Storyblok?

Storyblok made it easy to create new content quickly. We were able to migrate multiple ecommerce websites in a matter of months from an all-in-one ecommerce approach to a headless architecture. Integrating Storyblok and implementing components to fill with life and content with Storyblok was fun for developers and shop managers alike. The Shop Managers praise the speed and ease of creating new content in their daily business. Storyblok also offers expert sessions with their technicians to solve taxing problems or review code together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An Intuitive Headless CMS with Visual Editing and Easy Management"
5/5
What do you like best about Storyblok?

Storyblok gives us the freedom to build the frontend exactly the way we want using Astro while giving the client an intuitive visual editing experience that does not expose them to the complexity of website management. They only ever have to deal with content. Exactly what a CMS should do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

Its pricing can make relatively basic operational features feel artificially restricted. Bandwidth limits and Enterprise-only capabilities such as S3 backups can force a significant plan upgrade when a smaller paid add-on would be more reasonable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My StoryBlok App Experience to the Platform"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Storyblok?

What I like most about Storyblok is its visual editor. It makes content changes easy to preview in real time, which really helps collaboration between developers and content teams.

I also appreciate the component-based structure, which keeps things consistent and reusable. The headless CMS setup is super helpful too, letting us push content to different platforms without extra effort.

It’s flexible, supports multiple languages out of the box, integrates well with modern frameworks, and has a clean interface that’s easy for anyone to use. Overall, it strikes a great balance between power and simplicity.

When editing content, it’s also easy to see when something was last updated, since the time and date are clearly available. It’s exciting to use - not just a pretty interface - and even as a beginner, I’ve had no issues navigating the dashboard.

Support/onboarding - I don't need much help actually because I can easily navigate the Dashboard. AI/intelligence - amazing. The keyword analyzer feature saves me a lot of time. I just need to choose the keywords the best suit to my content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

One thing I dislike about Storyblok is that the learning curve can feel a bit steep at first, especially for anyone who isn’t already familiar with headless CMS concepts or component-based content modeling.

I also think the documentation and troubleshooting experience could be more straightforward for beginners. When it comes to more complex implementations, developers may need to spend extra time researching the best approach, or figuring things out while working with APIs and integrations.

Finally, the pricing and ROI can take a while before you recover the initial investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Maria Baumgartner of Storyblok

Thanks for the fantastic review, Merlina! We’re glad the visual editor and component-based setup are making collaboration and scalability easier for your team. We appreciate the note on the learning curve—it's something we're working to improve. Thanks for choosing Storyblok!

"Finally, content editing without headaches"
3.5/5

Overall, using Storyblok for content editing has made the process much easier. The standout features that attracted me are; the ability of the visual editor to remove the usual stress of managing content by providing a real-time preview also I can see changes instantly without worrying about breaking layouts, finally, reusable blocks enable quick and flexible page building by reusing content components.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

Compared to other platforms, I believe asset management features, such as file categorization and renaming, could be more user-friendly on Storyblok Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

Handling global elements and internationalization: Storyblok is increasingly being sold to customers with high demands. Customers primarily choose Storyblok because of its intuitive user interface, which is an excellent development. The problem is: Storyblok is extremely strong for simple pages, creating folder-based pages and filling them with content. Intuitive and simple. For this type of customer, Storyblok is becoming too expensive, as there are often very tight budgets behind it. Other customers with high budgets bring other challenges: creating and managing content centrally in one place, translating it based on field level, but otherwise continuing to maintain pages on a folder basis. We can build solutions for this, no question.

1. In the long term, I would like to see a more visible difference in the user interface between globally reusable content and page-based content.

2. Abolish the "default" locale. If no translation is maintained in a field, no content should be displayed. Field level translation is therefore almost unusable.

3. Introduce translations for block elements to be able to maintain different blocks (compare Contentful).

4. Create a simple history feature for the Growth Plus Plan as well. It doesn't have to be with comparison options right away, but for example, for campaigns - quickly restore the state of a page from day XY without maintaining the same content.

5. Feature request: Page versions, the aforementioned campaign example: The season is regularly changed on a page (Easter, summer, winter), the assets and settings are always the same. Currently, this is only possible with annoying copying of pages into archive folders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, Client-Friendly Editing with a Truly Helpful AI Assistant"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Storyblok?

Storyblok is easy for our clients to use, which reduces the need for intervention from our developers and frees up time internally. The site is fast, and that speed makes editing feel quick and smooth. The built-in AI assistant is incredibly useful and helps make our processes even easier. I also love the visual editor. The team at Storyblok have also being excellent with initial support and onboarding of new clients, making the partnership seamless. We've also being able to automate workflows and live previews with the Netlify integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

Billing needs to be more transparent and the constant rising in costs can cause friction when delivering to the client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Storyblok usage personal and professional"
5/5
What do you like best about Storyblok?

What I like best as the team developer is that I get to create components and manage the site but everyone else in the team can create web pages easily.

The whole team uses the site on a daily basis whether creating content, editing or reviewing. The UI is self intuitive and easy to pick up for less technically minded individuals.

Once the back end was set up using Nuxt and Vue, it was easy to implement and customise to our own branding and styles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

Very few, mainly training documents and guides aren't updated very often and not kept up to date with the current screens and features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible CMS That Empowers Clients to Manage Their Own Websites"
5/5
What do you like best about Storyblok?

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.

What do you dislike about Storyblok?

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