Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Agility PR Solutions

  • Pricing is not published
  • Newswire distribution is a separate service alongside the monitoring platform rather than part of it

Ghost CMS

  • Ghost Pro plans cap members, at 1,000 on both Starter and Publisher and 10,000 on Business
  • Staff users are limited to 1 on Starter and 3 on Publisher
  • Custom themes and integrations require the Publisher plan at $29 a month billed yearly
  • The jump to 10,000 members is the $199 a month Business plan, with nothing between
  • Self hosting is free but installing under a subdirectory needs a custom reverse proxy that Ghost does not officially support
