Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to customize website functionality. Set up process is easy with effortless content publishing options. Beautiful website layouts and powerful SEO.
  • - Ghost is very lightweight and minimalistic to use. It removes all the bloat and clutter that WordPress has, making it perfect for those who just wish to blog and not think about much else. - Great editing environment!
  • - Really removes all the bloat and clutter of WordPress and helps you focus only on your content. Very useful for bloggers.

Cons

  • Overall it's an outstanding website platform.
  • - I have no issues with the CMS itself but it can be a bit on the expensive side to host Ghost on their own servers (Ghost Pro) compared to other services.
  • - Lacks the flexibility and ease of WordPress. Also takes more effort so setup.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • One of the only large newsletter service providers who offer you the ability to use their physical address as your own. They will then virtually scan and email you anything you receive. A nice way to protect your privacy without paying for an additional service or PO Box. Once you're a paid user, it has some powerful tools for automating your email campaigns.
  • ConvertKit is a great, affordable alternative to the pricier programs such as Mailchimp, offering a way to connect with my readers.
  • Convertkit is a very productive email marketing tool. This platform is my favorite choice to connect with my clients. Analytics and reports are informative. It offers a quick campaign building.
  • This is a great program to use for automations and drip email campaigns. When you connect to your store it works great!

Cons

  • This is a very expensive service. ConvertKit costs even more than Mailchimp and far more than MailerLite. I know I said they give you a free virtual mail service above, but having your own PO Box would still come out cheaper. The interface is fairly difficult to learn how to use--much harder than MailerLite, for example.
  • Sadly, it doesn't offer as many bells and whistles as Mailchimp, but for the price, it's well worth it.
  • It worked great for me. Nothing to share about cons.
  • There's nothing that I dislike about it. Really like it.
