Why we recommend it

If the plan is publishing plus a paid newsletter, Ghost does it natively without stitching together plugins. Open source, so self-hosting is always an option.

Strengths

  • Newsletters and memberships built in
  • Open source and self-hostable
  • Very fast by default

Keep in mind

  • Narrower than a general site builder
