Edublogs vs Hashnode

Edublogs is a WordPress-powered publishing platform for educators and students, available on the web, Android, and iOS. Its free class-management tools let educators group students, oversee their work, and give private feedback on assignments. Privacy settings control access to site content; student blogs and content default to private and can be made public with teacher approval for class accounts or written parent request. Education-specific themes and plugins are available, and third-party themes are code reviewed before use. Users can import content from other platforms and export their blog. The plugin directory includes Google Calendar, Google Tag Manager, Jetpack, LDAP Authentication, and JSON Feed, but users cannot upload their own plugins. The dashboard is mobile friendly in a tablet browser; the WordPress app can be used with Pro blogs or student blogs attached to a Pro blog through My Class. The Free plan includes 256 MB storage, 50 posts and pages daily, and a 30 MB maximum file size. Pro costs $39.95 a year and includes 50 GB storage; all listed plans include 24/7 support.

Hashnode is a blogging platform for developers and engineers, with tools for writing technical posts and managing publications. Articles support raw Markdown, syntax highlighting in 25 languages, LaTeX, tables, and embeds. Users can schedule posts, view blog analytics, and connect a custom domain; Hashnode handles the domain certificate. It can also serve as a headless CMS behind a custom frontend through its GraphQL API. The Free plan costs nothing and includes one publication with unlimited articles. Pro costs $5 a month and allows up to 10 publications per account—one Pro publication and nine free publications—with unlimited articles. Pro adds an in-editor AI assistant and inline generators for outlines, rewrites, and summaries. It also provides webhooks for content-change notifications to Slack, Zapier, or HTTP endpoints, GitHub syncing for posts and drafts as Markdown, and bulk import from Markdown files. Reading and publishing through the GraphQL API require Pro. Hashnode is available on web and through an API, and lists integrations for analytics and measurement services.
