Tier A: Tier A for self-hosted Ghost: official comparison explicitly says product features are identical. Ghost(Pro) hosting plan gates do not gate self-hosted software. Social web and analytics require separate services and supported deployment setup. License source. Repository: TryGhost/Ghost. Self-host: server; hosted offer from the project: yes.

Fit:

Best for a publication/blog. Built-in Squarespace XML migrator imports posts/pages and converts categories to tags; review redirects and rebuild design. Broader store/scheduling workflows need separate solutions.
