Publishing that keeps the whole subscription.

Substack is free until it is not. The moment paid subscriptions work, it takes ten percent of every one of them, permanently. Ghost does the same job, memberships and paid tiers included, for a flat monthly server cost that does not grow when your list does.

Questions

Can I send newsletters from it?

Yes. Ghost sends through an SMTP relay and we wire the mail configuration for you at deploy time.

Can I move an existing Substack over?

Yes. Ghost imports Substack archives and subscriber CSVs directly.

Do I keep the Stripe relationship?

You connect your own Stripe account, so payouts go straight to you and nobody sits in the middle.
