Ghost vs Posthaven: What are the differences?

Ghost: Just a blogging platform. Ghost is a platform dedicated to one thing: Publishing. It's beautifully designed, completely customisable and completely Open Source. Ghost allows you to write and publish your own blog, giving you the tools to make it easy and even fun to do; Posthaven: Blogs made to live forever. We need a good solid blog platform for ourselves, and we know our friends and colleagues need one too. That's why we started Posthaven. We're not going to show ads. We're not looking for investors. We're going to make money the best way we know how: charging for it. It will be everything you expect in a blog platform - simple and modern.

Ghost can be classified as a tool in the "Self-Hosted Blogging / CMS" category, while Posthaven is grouped under "Hosted Blogging Platforms".

"Beautiful" is the top reason why over 40 developers like Ghost, while over 2 developers mention "Simple" as the leading cause for choosing Posthaven.

So many choices for CMSs these days. So then what do you choose if speed, security and customization are key? Headless for one. Consuming your own APIs for content is absolute key. It makes designing pages in the front-end a breeze. Leaving Ghost and Cockpit. If I then looked at the footprint and impact on server load, Cockpit definitely wins that battle.
