What is Ghost?

Ghost is a creator-economy platform letting fans subscribe directly to favourite creators for monthly access to exclusive content. Its product surface covers creator-led monthly memberships with member-only posts alongside iOS, Android and web apps, with the recurring subscription billed through the operator's commercial channels or self-serve checkout. Customers buy a tier matching their usage profile; the entry tier suits piloting the product and higher tiers add features such as tier-based perks (early access, livestreams, exclusive content).

Why choose Ghost

Operator and regulatory context

Ghost is run by The Ghost Foundation out of Singapore (non-profit registered); distributed team, established 2013 (Kickstarter). That matters because the creator platforms category is shaped by regulatory regimes, market consolidation and capital intensity, so the operator's ownership structure shapes how aggressively the product is supported and how stable the contract terms are over multi-year renewals.

Plan structure and pricing tiers

The tier ladder splits across Ghost(Pro) Starter for piloting the product, Creator for everyday use, and Team for power users or households. Anchor pricing for 2026: Starter USD 11/month; Creator USD 31/month; Team USD 71/month annual. Check Subger's true-price tracker for Ghost for all-in renewal costs after taxes and any FX conversion.

Creator economy and subscription features

Beyond the headline features, the 2025-2026 development focus for Ghost is 2024-2025 continued ActivityPub federation rollout for Ghost newsletters and Ghost 5.x feature pushes. That signals a credible roadmap and distinguishes the operator from competitors running their creator platforms product on maintenance mode.
