Pagecord vs Tumblr

Pagecord is a platform for publishing a blog or personal website, with posts, pages, themes, newsletters, comments, analytics, and custom domains. You can write in its browser editor or on a phone, or publish by email and through Obsidian, iA Writer, Shortcuts, scripts, the CLI, and API. Its Obsidian plugin can publish or update posts, support YAML frontmatter, and upload embedded local images. Links to YouTube, Spotify, Bandcamp, and GitHub are automatically embedded, and every blog has a public RSS feed. Users can export a whole site, including images, as HTML or Markdown. The Classic plan includes one blog, unlimited posts and pages, and 20 image and audio uploads. Premium adds custom domains, site customization with custom CSS and HTML and JavaScript, analytics, moderated comments, and email newsletters for up to 250 subscribers. New accounts receive a 14-day Premium trial without a credit card. The interface supports English, French, Spanish, German, and Portuguese. Pagecord is open source and its maker is based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

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.
