The Storyblok alternative for ambitious enterprises

Go beyond the basics. Build unique brand experiences faster.

Storyblok is a good start for standard websites. But when your brand needs to move faster across multiple channels, scale globally, and deliver standout experiences that convert, it quickly hits its limits. 

CoreMedia is the mature Storyblok alternative built for global enterprises: 

  • Built to scale unique experiences - Create tailored experiences across channels with flexible APIs, deep eCommerce integrations, and intuitive personalization that make customizations effortless. 

  • Enterprise-grade localization - Accelerate global content delivery with structured translation workflows and smart content reuse, ensuring consistency without sacrificing local relevance. 

  • Built-in AI - Create and deliver high-converting content faster with CoreMedia KIO, the AI copilot that understands your brand, your data, and your audience.  

Storyblok too simple for your enterprise needs? Go CoreMedia. CoreMedia empowers you to create brand experiences as unique as your brand, and deliver them consistently across every channel, market, and touchpoint.

Pros of CoreMedia compared to Storyblok

Customization without limitations

Storyblok’s visual editor is neat, until your project grows complex. CoreMedia gives developers and marketers full flexibility with customizable APIs, smart content structures, and reusable components that scale with your brand.

Superior localization workflows

Managing multiple languages in Storyblok can quickly become a manual nightmare. CoreMedia offers clear translation workflows and smart content reuse to speed up global content delivery, while staying locally relevant.

Industry leading eCommerce integrations

While Storyblok focuses on basic sites, CoreMedia doesn’t stop at content and integrates deeply with Salesforce, SAP, commercetools, Elastic Path, and more, to drive better experiences and higher conversions.

Built-in AI that powers performance

CoreMedia KIO goes beyond a standard AI tool. It’s trained on your content, brand voice, and goals. It helps teams activate content faster, boost conversions, and stay in control. Storyblok lacks native AI capabilities.

Fair pricing that scales with you

Pricing is a common pain point for Storyblok customers whose needs grow over time. With CoreMedia, you get transparent pricing that scales with your business, without breaking the bank when you need more licenses or sites.

Why ambitious brands choose CoreMedia over Storyblok

Storyblok offers reusable components but lacks bulk editing, component inheritance, and GraphQL write access, making customization beyond a basic website difficult. 

CoreMedia provides flexible APIs and enterprise tools that support global content models and smooth team workflows, so you can easily deliver consistent, personalized experiences across web, app, social, messaging, contact centers, and more.

Storyblok lacks many standard enterprise integrations like CRM (Salesforce, SAP) out of the box, requiring extra developer effort and third-party tools. Features like forms, analytics, or media management must often be added separately.  

As a leading Storyblok competitor, CoreMedia comes with rich, pre-built integrations for leading CRM, eCommerce, marketing automation, AI personalization, PIM, and DAM systems. The result: faster time-to-value and seamless content-to-commerce experiences. 

Storyblok currently offers no native AI features, leaving automation and personalization to external tools.  

CoreMedia comes with CoreMedia KIO integrated, an AI-powered copilot embedded in every step of your content workflow. It taps into your data, brand voice, and goals to accelerate creation, drive personalization, and support smarter decisions. Unlike generic AI tools, CoreMedia KIO enhances performance while keeping teams in control and content on-brand. 

Developers report challenges when delivering content beyond websites, citing limited APIs and tooling for non-web use cases. SEO features are also limited compared to more mature CMS platforms. 

CoreMedia is built for true omnichannel delivery. Whether it’s websites, apps, social media, chatbots, digital screens, or contact centers, CoreMedia’s architecture supports seamless content orchestration across all channels, ensuring brand consistency and performance at scale.  

Storyblok is primarily cloud-based with limited flexibility for enterprise hosting preferences.  

CoreMedia offers flexible deployment options including cloud, hybrid, and on-premises to meet complex enterprise and security requirements. 

Storyblok’s pricing often escalates as usage grows, leading to frustrations around hidden fees and license limits.  

CoreMedia provides transparent, scalable pricing that aligns with your business growth, avoiding unexpected cost spikes.  

Storyblok users report inconsistent, slow, and sometimes limited support, with outdated documentation and a less active community, making onboarding and optimizing harder. 

CoreMedia delivers dedicated, expert support teams with deep platform knowledge, ensuring fast, personalized help and ongoing success. 

Fast migration to CoreMedia – in under 90 days

Migrating from Storyblok or any other CMS doesn’t have to be slow or risky. CoreMedia offers a fast, proven migration approach led by seasoned experts — ensuring zero disruption, full business continuity, and immediate access to powerful AI capabilities. 

While Storyblok’s steep learning curve can slow teams down, CoreMedia’s intuitive AI tools, enablement platform and expert onboarding accelerate time to value. And once you're live, you're ready to drive impact with integrated AI, personalization, and performance tools from day one.
