How DonkeyCMS compares
Picking a blog tool is easier with the facts side by side. So here they are, including the ones that do not flatter us. A donkey is many things, but it is a terrible liar.
- DonkeyCMS vs WordPress The one everybody knows. Compared as a blog, because that is the part we do. Checked 11 October 2026
- DonkeyCMS vs Ghost The newsletter and membership platform. Brilliant at being a publication, less keen on shared hosting. Checked 11 October 2026
- DonkeyCMS vs Bludit Our closest cousin: small, PHP, quick to install. Free at its core, with backups and other extras sold as plugins. Checked 11 October 2026
- DonkeyCMS vs Publii The desktop app that builds a static site. Nothing on the server to break, and one writer at the keyboard. Checked 11 October 2026
How we compare
- Their own words
- Every claim about another product was read on that product’s own website, and every page lists where.
- A date on everything
- Software changes. Each page shows the day we checked it.
- Where they win
- Every page says what the other product does better, and who should choose it over us.
- Blogs with blogs
- DonkeyCMS is a blog, so we compare it with blog tools, and with WordPress as a blog.
