What is the difference between Ghost and Strapi?

Ghost is a publishing platform and Strapi is a headless CMS, which makes them different tools for different jobs. Ghost ships with a complete front end: themes, a fast blog, newsletters, memberships, and SEO basics like sitemaps and meta tags built in.

Strapi has no front end at all. It stores content and serves it over an API, and you build the website yourself in Next.js, Astro, or whatever you prefer. That buys total design freedom and costs you setup work. SEO on Strapi depends entirely on how your front end renders pages.

Pick Ghost to start publishing this week. Pick Strapi when the site is custom software and content is one part of it.

BlazeHive publishes into both, including an AI SEO writer for Strapi sites that pushes pages through the API.
