The Verdict
Ghost is built for bloggers and publishers, with a focus on editor and memberships. Internxt targets privacy advocates and european users and leads with encrypted-storage and file-sharing.
Pricing is close: Internxt starts at $4.49/mo versus $9/mo for Ghost — not a deciding factor on its own.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Ghost edges out on user ratings (4.4 vs 4.1). While both are well-regarded, that gap reflects real differences in user satisfaction worth considering.
Bottom line: Ghost has a slight overall edge — but if open-source and auditable matters most to you, Internxt may still be the right call.
