Why Teams Leave Storyblok

Headless CMS with visual editor for component-based sites. Teams wanting headless CMS power with a true visual editing experience, but these limitations push teams toward modern alternatives.

Paid plans are expensive — jumps from free to $106/month

This is the most common reason teams migrate away from Storyblok. Nuxt eliminates this issue entirely.

Visual editor setup requires specific SDK integration work

With Nuxt, auto-imports and file-based routing reduce boilerplate.

API rate limits on lower tiers can be restrictive

Modern architectures like Nuxt are designed to avoid this from the ground up.

Migrating away from Storyblok requires significant effort

After migrating, you'll no longer need to worry about this — Nuxt takes a fundamentally different approach.

Is Storyblok to Nuxt the Right Move for You?

Migrating from Storyblok to Nuxt makes the most sense if you're experiencing paid plans are expensive — jumps from free to $106/month or outgrowing Storyblok's architecture. Nuxt is best for vue.js teams building content sites or full-stack applications.

You should migrate if: your Storyblok site is slow, your hosting costs are climbing, you need developer flexibility, or you want to adopt a modern JAMstack architecture.

You might want to stay if: your Storyblok site benefits from visual editor shows live preview of your actual frontend and you don't have JavaScript/TypeScript developers on your team. Storyblok is genuinely easy to use, and that simplicity has value.

The migration itself is straightforward with LeaveWP — enter your Storyblok URL, select Nuxt, and download your content. The more important question is whether Nuxt's architecture fits your team's skills and your project's long-term needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to migrate from Storyblok to Nuxt?
Most migrations from Storyblok complete in 20-40 minutes. We pull content via Storyblok's Content Delivery API, then structured for Nuxt. Complex sites with extensive custom fields may take longer.
Will I lose my SEO rankings when migrating from Storyblok?
No. We help you set up proper 301 redirects from your old Storyblok URLs to preserve search rankings. Nuxt actually tends to improve Core Web Vitals scores, which can boost rankings over time.
What Storyblok content can be migrated to Nuxt?
Storyblok content types like stories, components, assets, datasources are all migrated to Nuxt. Content is converted to Markdown/MDX files or structured for your chosen headless CMS.
Do I need JavaScript/TypeScript experience to migrate?
No coding experience is required for the migration itself — LeaveWP handles the export and conversion automatically. However, customizing your Nuxt site afterward will benefit from JavaScript/TypeScript (Vue.js) knowledge. For teams without that expertise, the generated code is well-structured and documented, making it approachable for developers of any level.
How much does it cost to host a Nuxt site after migrating from Storyblok?
Nuxt sites can be deployed to Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, or any Node.js host — often on generous free tiers. Compared to Storyblok's Free / $106+/month pricing, static Nuxt sites can be hosted for free on Vercel or Netlify (up to generous bandwidth limits), which is significantly cheaper than running a Storyblok instance.
Can I migrate Storyblok custom fields and metadata to Nuxt?
Yes. Custom fields, metadata, and taxonomies from Storyblok are preserved during migration. In Nuxt, these become frontmatter fields in your Markdown/MDX files, which you can extend or restructure to fit your content model.
