Considered Both Products	Ghost Foundation Mike Blumenthal Co-founder at NearMemo (Online Media, 1-10 employees) Chose Ghost It is simpler, headless, faster than WordPress. The core functionality is focused on subscription membership which is a bloated add on for WordPress. The simplicity has a cost as WordPress, while complicated, offers more expansion opportunities.
