AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Ghost is a mixed-rating WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 7 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +Published by JohnONolan — established developer track record
Cons
- −Average rating below 4.0 (3.6★) — read recent low-star reviews before committing
- −Limited review base (7) — ratings can shift significantly with new feedback

Ghost Migrator: The easy way to migrate data to Ghost The official Ghost plugin allows you to export your WordPress data in a JSON format that can be imported quickly and easily by the Ghost publishing platform.
Features Overview The Ghost Migrator plugin will export as much blog and publication data as it can into a clean set of exported files.
Posts, pages, tags and authors are all automatically exported and recreated for Ghost
Tags will be migrated, but not categories. If needed you can convert your categories to tags before exporting.
Ghost does not have built-in comments, but it does integrate with many comment platforms if you want to migrate your comments there.
No custom fields, meta, shortcodes, post types, taxonomies or binary files will be migrated. Just regular posts, pages, tags and images
Passwords are not migrated – after importing to Ghost, each user may perform a password reset to gain access to their Ghost account
