User Testimonials
	Ghost	TypePad (discontinued)
Likelihood to Recommend	Ghost Foundation It is well suited for distributed writing and publishing with a subscription component Incentivized MB Mike Blumenthal Co-founder Read full review	Newfold Digital (Endurance + Web.com) TypePad is great for serious bloggers who aren't very tech savvy, but advanced users may become fed up with the simplicity Incentivized JS Jeannette Saysomvang Student Read full review
Pros	Ghost Foundation Creating a newsletter for web and email simultaneously Allowing for paid subscriptions Allowing content to be segmented by subscription type Incentivized MB Mike Blumenthal Co-founder Read full review	Newfold Digital (Endurance + Web.com) Great support Many themes you can choose from Very easy to use from the beginning Incentivized JS Jeannette Saysomvang Student Read full review
Cons	Ghost Foundation They wysiwig editor is missing critical functions like superscript and subscript The markdown complement has those features but it doesn’t integrate well with the wysiwig editor Footnoting is hard to do Incentivized MB Mike Blumenthal Co-founder Read full review	Newfold Digital (Endurance + Web.com) Some themes appear very outdated. Limited options for backup Lack of flexibility for advanced users Incentivized JS Jeannette Saysomvang Student Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Ghost Foundation It is simpler, headless, faster than WordPress. The core functionality is focused on subscription membership which is a bloated add on for WordPress. The simplicity has a cost as WordPress, while complicated, offers more expansion opportunities.
