I really like the clean layout and accessible interface. Many features were promised. > > **Cons**: Many features promised where not delivered. Most of all the admin interface lags in functionality. Upgrading a major ghost version is too difficult. There really ought to be an admin interface to remove cached image resources in order to comply with licencing. > > I am still using ghost after 4 years. But by now I feel more like a hostage without the benefits of Stockholm Syndrom. Moving away would entail more hustle than I willing to invest. I am not aware of any great alternatives anyways without doing some serious research. ----- ### "Bare Bones Website Software" — 5.0/5 > **Skyler** | *9 November 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: - Easy to use - Simple interface and backend > > **Cons**: - Not compatible with plugins like WordPress - Not easy to embed items onto the website - Not super customizable > > I used to have my website on Ghost. I loved the templates and how simple it was at first but it's very bare bones. It doesn't support a wide range of functionality and plugins like WordPress. I ended up switching to WordPress so I could have my website EXACTLY how I wanted it. With Ghost, you can really only have a fancy blog in my experience. ----- ### "Best open-source blogging software" — 5.0/5 > **Alaister** | *16 July 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The admin interface is very simple and user friendly. It has built-in membership system, SEO, signup/subscription forms, and newsletter features. The visual editor is clean and provides many cards and snippets we need. We can add custom integrations through Zapier such as PayPal (for subscription), SendInBlue (for newsletter), and Discord (for our community server). > > **Cons**: To create multiple membership tiers, a Stripe account is required, even though we only use other payment methods like PayPal. The newsletter feature, again, limits to a specific provider: Mailgun, which is no longer free. Ghost should remove the Stripe and Mailgun requirements to make third-party integrations much easier. > > After switching from WordPress to Ghost, we have gained more visitors and readers of our blog posts, mainly due to better SEO, page loading time, and website theme design. Ghost also reduces our server load and so the cost. ----- ### "Ghost managed hosting combined with Ghost 4.0 is a towering achievement" — 5.0/5 > **Bark** | *30 March 2021* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ghost managed hosting is more than just a blogging platform following the release of 4.0 in March 2021. It is a membership site that helps our websites and blogs gain memberships that fund important projects for our journalists. The best thing about Ghost is that they do not take a portion of your income. Other popular options both take a percentage of revenue but Ghost managed hosting only charges a low monthly fee. The unique thing about managed hosting with Ghost is that Worldwide CDN is included, unlimited emails to members are included, managed updates of Ghost are included. Tons of additional features are available as well. The editor in Ghost is so conducive to producing great content. For many months, users have been offering opinions on things that should happen in the new update. Ghost took so many of these ideas and combined them to create something great. Ghost also has a unique look. The product and themes are very current, and it elevates the content because the website looks so good. Finally, I have to mention money. Ghost allows journalists to be independent. I cannot tell you how exciting it is to know that we have monthly revenue that comes in other than advertisers. Multiple streams of revenue is very important. > > **Cons**: Of course, I would like another 500 memberships added to each tier. But the price is very fair. With Ghost 4.0, a new $9 a month tier was added. Previously a $29 a month tier was the lowest price. So I don't have much to complain about. But we are on a high tier. > > Ghost gives me the tools to present our content and brand to viewers with confidence. They look at our site and know that quality content will be presented. This allows us to stand out from the crowd. ----- ### "Ghost is the new best CMS your website needs." — 5.0/5 > **Jose J** | *23 October 2022* | Market Research Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ghost has a simplistic approach to create beautiful and functional websites. That simplicity is what I like the most about Ghost. > > **Cons**: Ghost has a community version that is free, however, doesn't include the latest features of the current Ghost paid version or Ghost Pro. > > I'm creating blogs and websites with paid plans using Ghost. So far Ghost has been a great CMS. Also, me and my team migrated some WordPress sites with amazing results and boosted the SEO. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.il/software/151947/ghost?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.il/software/151947/ghost) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
