A detailed breakdown of how your Storyblok content maps to SolidStart

Download your migrated content or preview it in your browser.
Migrating from Storyblok to SolidStart makes the most sense if you're experiencing paid plans are expensive — jumps from free to $106/month or outgrowing Storyblok's architecture. SolidStart is best for performance-focused developers who want react-like syntax without virtual dom overhead.
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 SolidStart, and download your content. The more important question is whether SolidStart's architecture fits your team's skills and your project's long-term needs.
