Who this is for
You like writing in Ghost. You would rather not run it.
Self-hosting Ghost is a server, Node and a database; the managed plan is a monthly bill. If you want to write and have the post scored, hosted and ranked, Quillly does that with nothing to operate.
Side by side
What each is for.
An SEO blog that writes itself with your AI and is scored, hosted, indexed and measured by Quillly on your domain. No server, no database, no version upgrades; analytics on the hosted pages never count against a plan.

What changes
What Quillly takes off your hands.
Nothing to operate
No server, no Node, no database, no upgrade day — the blog is hosted and kept current for you.
Scoring built in
A score out of 100 before publish, with the fixes written out, so a thin post never goes live quietly.
Publish from the conversation
Your AI writes and publishes through one connector; a post is a sentence, not a paste.
Markdown in, Markdown out
Every post exports as Markdown and images at any time. No lock-in, in either direction.
Switching
Switching from Ghost takes minutes
Export your Ghost content, keep your domain, and let your AI take over publishing.
Start on a free Quillly subdomain, or route yourdomain.com/blog to Quillly with one proxy rule.
Bring posts across from your Ghost export — Markdown in, Markdown out, nothing locked in.
Connect your AI once; from then on, "write and publish a post" is a single sentence.
Questions
Switching from Ghost.
Can I export my content if I ever leave?
Always. Every blog is yours as Markdown plus images, exportable any time. No lock-in — that is a hard rule for us.
What about Ghost memberships and newsletters?
Quillly focuses on SEO blog publishing, not paid memberships. If newsletters are core to you, keep Ghost for that and use Quillly for the SEO blog on your domain.
Do I need a server or any DevOps?
No. Quillly is fully managed — no VPS, no Node, no database, no version upgrades to babysit.
Keep Ghost for what it does well.
Let Quillly run the blog. First post scored, hosted and indexed on your domain in minutes.
