Ghost

Open-source publishing and membership platform.

Ghost is a modern, open-source platform focused solely on professional publishing and membership monetization. Built by journalists and creators, it offers a clean, distraction-free writing experience, robust SEO tools, and integrated newsletters. Its core monetization feature is native, automated membership tiers and subscription payments, allowing publishers to build recurring revenue directly from their audience. The software can be self-hosted for full control or used via Ghost(Pro) for a managed service. The open-source nature builds strong trust within the creator community. Affiliates earn recurring income by referring publishers to Ghost(Pro) hosting plans, while creators using the platform earn predictable revenue from paid member subscriptions.
