Everything in one place

A whole publication, without the plumbing

Your site, your newsletter, your members and your numbers live together, so there is nothing to wire up and nothing to keep in sync.

Publishing

An editor that gets out of your way

Write in a calm, distraction-free editor and publish when it reads right. Your theme makes every post look good on any screen.

  • Drafts, scheduling and post history
  • Cards for images, galleries, embeds and buttons
  • SEO and social previews for every post
Write your first post

Newsletters

Every post can be a newsletter

Publish to your site, send to inboxes, or both at once. Readers sign up on your site and land on your list, not someone else’s.

  • Send to all members, paid members or one tier
  • Preview the email and send yourself a test first
  • Up to 10 newsletters on one publication

What is Blogaly?

Blogaly is hosted publishing for independent writers and media businesses: a blog, newsletters, paid memberships, analytics and a custom domain, all running as one managed publication.

How fast can I launch?

Minutes. Pick a plan, claim your publication, and your site is live with HTTPS. The 14-day trial gives you room to publish and send before you pay anything.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. Point your domain at Blogaly and HTTPS is issued and renewed automatically — no certificates to manage and no downtime.

How do paid memberships work?

Create free and paid tiers, connect Stripe, and start taking payments. Publisher plans include 3 paid tiers and Business includes 10.

Do I own my content and audience?

Yes. Your posts, members and email list export anytime, and you can leave whenever you want. No lock-in, no hostage list.

Does Blogaly take a cut of my subscription revenue?

No. Blogaly charges a 0% platform fee on member payments, on every plan. Payments go to your own Stripe account; only Stripe’s standard processing fees apply.

Can I move from Substack, WordPress or Medium?

Yes. Import your posts, pages and subscribers from Substack, WordPress, Medium or another platform, or upload a CSV of members.

What analytics do I get?

Real-time stats on posts, audience growth and newsletter performance — without cookies, banners or third-party trackers.

What happens when the trial ends?

Pick a plan to keep publishing and sending. If you do nothing, your publication pauses — nothing is deleted and you can resume anytime.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, from your account portal. No calls, no retention maze.
