Overview
Hashnode is a blogging platform built for developers and technical writers. Its free plan hosts a blog on a hashnode.dev address with unlimited posts, a Markdown editor, comments, series, built-in analytics and an image CDN, and posts can be exported as Markdown.[10]
The Pro plan, at US$5 a month per seat, adds a custom domain with SSL, a headless GraphQL API, MCP and CLI access, AI editor tools, scheduled posts, GitHub backup, webhooks and removal of Hashnode branding. A Growth plan at US$34 a month per publication adds citation tracking across four AI assistants, AI referral traffic reporting, a live answer-engine optimisation score, llms.txt and AI crawler controls.[10] Hashnode suits engineers, developer-relations teams and documentation-style blogs. A custom domain requires a paid plan, and the platform’s audience and features are oriented to technical content rather than general publishing.
