Review of Ghost 5.0
I recently migrated off of WordPress and onto Ghost. The migration was flawlessly executed. Customer service is amazing, and my website is not only beautiful but screaming fast. The creator community is awesome and I’m learning so many new things about how to build a publication and community using best practices. What can I say, I’m in love. It’s well-supported and fundamentally sound.

Review of Ghost 5.0
What can I say? I have been a satisfied user since 2021. A number of frustrations have been resolved in 5.0, such as the choice of whether or not to post a newsletter on the site or tweaking the features of the newsletter. The backoffice works quickly and conveniently. The advantage of Ghost I see is that what the platform can't do won't break, a big difference from generic platforms where you can mess things up. It's seems to be designed to be a platform for people who would rather spend their time creating content than managing the platform on which the content resides. The support is fast, but once it was very much by the book.

Review of Ghost 5.0
So far, LOVE 5.0 compared to previous versions. The multiple newsletter offerings present really cool new ways to monetize and audience, and the updated analytics is much more detailed than before. I feel very excited about the future of Ghost!
Review of Ghost 5.0
Congrats on the release, the new features look like more great additions, smashing it with every upgrade ✨
Thanks Sara! I guess the biggest differences are that Ghost is pretty much the only open source, independent platform with 0% fees — these tend to be the main reasons we hear about from people switching to Ghost from another platform :)
I migrated to ghost in January and moved all my posts from a Wordpress blog. You sign up for a free trial. I never got notification that they would delete my content but they did because I
didn’t sign up for a paid account after the free trial. They blamed it on GDPR and privacy saying they couldn’t host content that I voluntarily added. I then had to reimport the blog posts from Wordpress but this time I found out when you do this you can only then edit those blog posts in HTML which is the opposite of Ghosts mission of being an easy blogging platform. You can’t copy and paste the text to import because it doesn’t keep the formatting. They then offered to import the posts for me but i have to sign up for an annual plan and pay. This has taken weeks to resolve and many mails back and forth with different contacts. It makes no sense that they don’t have a simple wordpress import tool.
