Hashnode vs Hyvor Blogs

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.

Hyvor Blogs is an open-source platform for creating and managing blogs, with hosted and self-hosted options. Blogs can use a custom domain, a sub-directory, or a headless frontend; custom domains receive free TLS certificates. Users can select a theme or build one with HTML and CSS. Built-in tools include scheduling, SEO metadata, social cards, generated sitemaps and robots.txt, and link analysis. Teams can edit posts in real time with live cursors and suggestion mode, and content can be translated, including RTL layouts. APIs and webhooks support developer workflows. Every plan includes Hyvor Talk for comments and Hyvor Post for newsletters, with monthly allowances varying by plan. The built-in AI agent can generate content, translate posts, and suggest improvements. Hyvor says users own and can export their content in one click, and that blogs have no ads or third-party trackers. Paid Personal pricing is €5 a month, billed annually at €50/year; a 14-day trial includes all features. The free Open-Source plan is self-hosted under AGPLv3; self-hosting requires Docker, PostgreSQL, and an OIDC provider.
