Move your Contentful site
to Storyblok or DatoCMS.

We migrate teams off Contentful onto Storyblok or DatoCMS, scoped against the renewal date. Content models translate cleanly, localizations carry over, and the code rewrites are part of the project, not a separate one to do afterward. No seat-based pricing surprises, no API call overages, no entries-and-fields editing.

Trusted by

Contentful was the right call. Until renewal.

Most teams do not leave Contentful because the platform is bad. They leave because the cost stopped matching the value, the editor experience never quite lived up to the preview promise, or seat-based pricing made adding contributors a budget conversation. Renewal is the forcing function. Migration is the way out.

The annual quote doubled, and the value did not.

Seat-based pricing is now the line item nobody can defend at renewal.

API call overages show up on invoices before they show up on dashboards.

Editors still preview content by guessing, because the visual editor is not really visual.

Localization workflows feel like fighting the platform every time.

Renewal is approaching and the migration window is shorter than it looks.

The Reality

Renewal cycles are predictable. That is the good news. A migration scoped against the date stops you paying for both platforms at once.

What Survives the Move

Your content and structure come along.

Contentful's content model is structured, which makes a migration predictable. Entries, models, locales, references all translate to Storyblok or DatoCMS without losing fidelity. The work is in the platform layer, not in your editorial team's content.

  • All your entries

    exported through the Content Management API. Drafts, published states, and version history come along where the destination supports it.

  • Your content models

    translated field by field. Short text, long text, references, location, JSON, media all map cleanly.

  • Your localizations

    every locale, every translated field. The localization model is rebuilt to match how Storyblok or DatoCMS handles multi-locale natively.

  • Your reference graph

    linked entries, references with cardinality, and embedded references all reconstructed with the same connections.

  • Your assets

    media moved to the destination CDN with the same URLs preserved through redirects. No broken image references in the wild.

What Changes

The code rewrite is part of the job.

A headless-to-headless migration is mostly an integration project. Your frontend talks to a different API. That code change is included, not a separate project to scope afterward. We ship one cutover, not three.

  • Your codebase

    every reference to the Contentful SDK gets rewritten. We do this in the migration, not after. You ship one PR, not three.

  • The editor experience

    improves substantially. A Storyblok visual editor or a DatoCMS structured workspace both beat Contentful entries-and-fields for editor confidence.

  • Your pricing model

    moves off seat-based to a structure that fits how your team actually works.

  • Some platform features

    do not have one-to-one matches. Compose, Tasks, and some workflow features may need a slightly different shape on the other side.

  • Your renewal calendar

    is built into the migration plan. We work backward from the date so you stop paying Contentful the day after the cutover, not three months later.

How It Works

The migration process

1

Audit and destination choice

We export your Contentful environment, walk through every model and every locale, and review the apps and integrations attached. Then we recommend Storyblok or DatoCMS based on how your editors work and what the frontend needs. You approve the destination before any code is written.

2

Translate models, migrate, rewrite

Content models are translated into the destination's format. Entries are exported through the Content Management API and imported through the destination's bulk import. The frontend integration is rewritten in the same project. Locales are preserved with hreflang in place. Drafts and publish states are kept where the destination supports them.

3

Cutover before renewal

We cut over before your Contentful renewal date with a window we agree on up front. Contentful stays read-only during the watch period as a safety net. We monitor Search Console, Analytics, and the new CMS for 30 days after launch.

Storyblok or DatoCMS?

Most decisions come down to who edits the most.

If marketing edits frequently and wants to see the page directly, Storyblok's visual editor wins. If content is heavily structured and developers edit alongside editors, DatoCMS tends to fit better. We make the call after the audit, not before.

Pricing

Fixed price, renewal-aware

Contentful migrations vary in scope based on model count, locale count, and frontend complexity. A 20-model setup with three locales and a clean Astro or Next.js frontend is one thing. A 100-model setup with ten locales and bespoke app integrations is another. The ranges below are where typical projects land. Once we scope yours, you get a fixed quote tied to your renewal date.

Who This Is For

Who this is for

This works well if you

  • Are facing a renewal with a price increase that does not match the value

  • Have outgrown the seat model and need editors who can use the system without each one costing money

  • Want a visual editor that actually shows what the page will look like

  • Run localized content across multiple markets and want this to feel native, not bolted on

  • Need a migration with the renewal date in mind, not a six-month exploratory project

This is not a fit if you

  • Use Compose or Studio heavily and need a destination that matches that workflow exactly. Talk to us about which platform fits

  • Have deeply customized app integrations in Contentful that would need to be rebuilt as well. Scope is larger

  • Are happy with Contentful and only looking to negotiate price. We do not help with that

  • Need a new build from scratch with no legacy content. See Headless Website

  • Are not sure yet what the right move is. Start with a Headless Audit
