The No-Code Ghost Alternative for Non-Technical Creators
In the world of professional creator platforms, Ghost is a titan. It's powerful, open-source, and gives you complete control. For a developer, it's a dream come true.
But for many others, the dream hits a technical wall. You hear about "self-hosting" and "SSH keys," and you realize you'd be spending more time as a system admin than a creator.
What if you could have all the benefits of Ghost—the ownership, speed, and design—without touching a single line of code? This is why we built Postion. It's the powerful, no-code Ghost alternative designed for the other 99% of creators.
The Ghost Dilemma: Power vs. Practicality
Ghost is fantastic, but its Ghost hosting model forces a difficult choice:
- Ghost (Pro): The managed service. It's easy, but the Ghost pricing can get expensive quickly, scaling from $9 to over $249 per month.
- Ghost (Self-Hosted): The ultimate in control, but you are now responsible for everything: server setup, security, updates, and troubleshooting.
For most creators, their job is to create. Becoming a part-time developer is a costly distraction.
Postion: The Best Ghost Alternative for Ease of Use
We admire Ghost's philosophy. We built Postion to deliver the same core principles of ownership and control, but within an intuitive, fully-managed experience. This is our vision for the best Ghost alternative.
Think of it this way:
- Ghost gives you a professional race car engine and a box of parts.
- Postion gives you the keys to the fully-assembled race car, ready to win.
