Ghost(Pro) starts at $15/month ($180/year) for just 1,000 members, scaling to $29/month for Publisher and $199/month for Business. Compared to Substack's free-until-paid model or beehiiv's generous free tier, Ghost's upfront costs are significant. Small creators feel priced out before building an audience.
Ghost's terms state no refunds for cancellations. While they offer goodwill refunds for the current month, users who haven't used the platform feel this is inadequate. Billing complaints and partial refund stories appear in Trustpilot reviews.
Ghost's 14-day trial isn't clearly communicated as leading to site deletion if not converted to paid. Some users report being surprised their content was deleted when they didn't upgrade, feeling the trial terms weren't transparent.
