- Payment processing: Stripe, 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction
Fine print that changes the math
- PARTIAL DATA: only yearly-billed prices were readable; monthly-billing prices and member-count slider brackets (prices rise with member count) need the scraper.
- Ghost is open source — self-hosting is $0 platform fee + infra cost, a comparison angle none of the hosted-only platforms have.
- Starter tier's paid-subscription support flagged as unsupported by the pricing page — needs verification before publishing.
