Hashnode vs Tumblr

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.

Tumblr is a blogging and community service for publishing original posts, sharing interests, and connecting through reblogging. Posts can use tags and content labels; reblogs place a post on another blog while retaining attribution to the original poster and earlier contributors. Members can post directly to communities, and blogs can enable one-off questions with anonymous asks as an option. Blog tools include custom domains, custom-code theme customization, scheduling, and analytics. Audio posts can search or embed music from Spotify, SoundCloud, and Bandcamp, as well as podcast episodes from Pocket Casts. Tumblr runs on the web, iOS, and Android. It offers authenticator-app two-factor authentication with backup codes, plus controls to exclude a blog from Tumblr search and recommendations and discourage external search indexing. The free plan provides basic access. Tumblr Premium costs $6.99 a month or $69.99 a year and adds ad-free browsing, monthly Blaze and TumblrMart perks, and higher posting, liking, upload, and queue limits. Blog exports are ZIP files, limited to four per blog each month and retained for three days; importing content from other platforms or Tumblr blogs is not supported.
