| Product | Meridian is a self-hosted blog engine with memberships and newsletters built in. | Movable Type is presented as a content management system, blog software, and publishing platform. |
| Publishing | Its block-based editor stores content as structured JSON and supports posts, static pages, tags, full-text search, and RSS. | The brochure says the software supports both static and dynamic publishing, and that static publishing can keep a website accessible if its database goes down. |
| Support | The Self-Hosted plan includes community support, while the Managed Cloud plan lists priority support. | The maker says technical support is provided for a fee by a third-party partner, and its inquiry page says Six Apart does not provide direct technical support or troubleshooting. |
