Storyblok vs DragDrop
Storyblok pairs a thoughtful component model with real visual editing, and headless teams like it for good reason. You still build and deploy the site around it. DragDrop shares the component philosophy, blocks all the way down, and ships the hosting and domain too.
One site per project
Many sites, one platform
TL;DR
Storyblok is components for your frontend. DragDrop is components with the frontend included.
Use Storyblok if…
- You want visual editing with live preview on top of your own frontend.
- Your team has settled on a framework and wants to keep it.
- You need strong localization in a headless setup.
Use DragDrop if…
- You do not want a separate frontend project to build and deploy.
- You want hosting, domains, and SSL on every plan, including Free.
- You want changes to block code live without a deploy.
- You want a marketplace of templates and blocks ready to install.
Key differences.
Components, minus the pipeline
Storyblok components render through a frontend you maintain, so schema changes ride your deploy train. DragDrop blocks are edited and published in the studio. No train.
The whole site in one product
Editor, hosting, custom domain, SSL, forms, redirects, backups. With DragDrop that list is one product, not an architecture diagram.
Still a home for developers
Open any block as code in the studio, build custom blocks in the code editor, and publish without redeploying.
The same job, two ways.
Shipping a page for one client in Storyblok, and for every client at once in the DragDrop studio.

Switching from Storyblok, in three moves.
Most teams run both platforms in parallel for a week and cut over on a quiet afternoon.
Bring your content
Export pages, posts, and media from Storyblok. Our importer maps them onto blocks, and our team helps with the fiddly parts when you ask.
Rebuild with blocks
Recompose your layouts from 90+ ready-made blocks. Anything custom, a developer can rebuild as a block right inside the studio.
Point your domain
Connect your domain, SSL issues automatically, and 301 redirects carry over every ranking you’ve earned. Nothing breaks on launch day.
