Ghost deserves respect. It is open source, it says own your audience and it means it. Philosophically we are on the same side.
The argument is the distance between owning something and running it.
What Ghost asks of you
- Ghost(Pro) is a monthly fee that grows with your list, or self-hosting is a server you patch at midnight
- Email sending still needs wiring to a delivery service, by you
- A new editor and a new admin to learn, then a theme to fight
- The funnel, the capture and the legal pages are your job
What you get here
- The same ownership promise, delivered done-for-you in days
- Notion as the editor, which you already use
- $0/month at creator scale, no server, no patches
- Welcome funnel, double opt-in, deliverability records and legal pages included
Ghost hands you excellent lumber. We hand you the keys.
