Ghost

ghost.org/

Ghost is an open-source publishing platform for blogs and newsletters with built-in paid membership and subscription tools, pitched as software for "professional publishers to create, share, and grow a business around their content." Its trust case rests on a specific, named-publication comparison rather than abstract numbers: it cites 404 Media at 123K members, Tangle earning $281K MRR, and Platformer at 197K members, all running on the platform. It states more than $100 million is earned yearly across Ghost-hosted publications with 0% payment fees, and that it is funded entirely by users with no outside investors — a direct ownership claim tied to its open-source status. The site segments its pitch by audience into Creators, Publishers, and Businesses sections.
