Ghost
Memberships aren't an online store
Ghost sells access, not products. If you want variants, inventory, shipping rules or returns, you need to bolt on a second platform.

Ghost alternative: keep publishing, and start selling
Ghost excels at publishing and paid memberships. But once you need products, inventory, customer support, or a real online store, it stops there — and your stack grows with separate tools. Neuramerce brings publishing, selling, inventory, customer contact and marketing together in one system, with a single bill.

TL;DR — which one is for you?
ChooseGhost
if you're a publication or newsletter and paid memberships are your business model. Ghost is fast, focused, and built exactly for that; few platforms do it better.
Choose
if you sell products alongside publishing, manage inventory, or get customer questions from multiple channels — or if you want to go multilingual, because Ghost can't do that.
The full comparison
Ghost compared on what the platform itself does. Ghost deliberately chooses fewer features and more focus; that's its strength in the top rows and its limit in the bottom ones.

You don't have to switch all at once
Keep your Ghost publication running. Neuramerce connects natively, so you can switch module by module — the store or customer contact first, the content later.

What does your Ghost setup really cost?
Ghost itself is cheap until your list grows. The tools you need alongside it to sell aren't. Set your own numbers on the sliders.

Why businesses switch from Ghost
The reasons we hear most often.
No multilingual support
Ghost has no built-in multilingual support. If you want to reach the German or English market, you build a second publication or start tinkering with the theme.
Building pages is limited
The editor is a joy to write in, but it isn't a page builder. A landing page with custom sections requires theme work.
Discoverability stays basic
Meta tags and a sitemap are included. A per-page score, internal link suggestions, rich results and an llms.txt for AI bots are not.
Customer questions land in a plain mailbox
No shared inbox, no assignment, no customer history alongside the conversation — and no chat widget that knows your content.
One bill instead of four
Ghost plus a store plus mailing plus an inbox costs most businesses more than a single platform would.
Switching in 4 steps
Your publication stays live. We handle the migration; you just keep writing.
Demo and intake
30 minutes. We look at your number of articles, your member list, your theme and which URLs drive traffic.
Connect and run in parallel
We first run Neuramerce alongside your store, reviews or customer contact. Your readers won't notice a thing.
Free migration
Articles, pages, authors, tags, media and members move over. We keep your URL structure where possible; the rest is covered with redirects.
Live and one bill
You switch to the new site, the separate subscriptions can go, and your team gets training in Dutch.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about switching from Ghost.
Yes, if you want more than just publishing: selling products, managing inventory, handling customer questions, or going multilingual. If you're purely a publication with paid members, Ghost does that excellently and switching is rarely necessary.
Not really. Ghost sells memberships and subscriptions via Stripe. For products with variants, inventory and shipping rules, you need to bolt on a second platform.
Not built in. In Neuramerce, multilingual support is core, including translated URLs and hreflang — one site, multiple languages, without duplicate management.
Yes. We migrate your articles, pages, authors, tags, media and member list for you, at no extra cost. Ghost has a full export, so it migrates cleanly.
Not if the migration is done properly. We keep your URL structure where possible and set up redirects for everything that changes, including your meta titles and descriptions.
Yes. Email marketing is built into the platform, with your own sender and your existing list. Paid memberships work differently than in Ghost — we'll discuss that during the intake.
No. That's the key trade-off: you can't modify the source code yourself or rewrite your theme. In exchange, hosting, updates and support are our responsibility.
