Review by a Growth Engineer

My verdict: the blog that will last forever.

Posthaven is for those who just want to write, without frills, with the guarantee that their blog will always exist. The minimalist blogging platform designed to last forever. Posthaven was created by the founders of Posterous with a promise: your blog will be hosted for life for 5 dollars per month. No ads, no complex features, just a simple and reliable blog. If you just want to write without worrying about technology, it's an option. But it's really basic.

What I like less: it's intentionally too basic for most uses. No advanced SEO, no advanced customization, no monetization features, no newsletter. If you want to do more than write simple texts, look elsewhere.

My advice: choose Posthaven only if you just want to write and sustainability really matters to you. If you want features like SEO, newsletter or monetization, look at Substack or Ghost. If you want flexibility, WordPress remains the reference.

The detailed verdict

Do I really need this?

It's a very specific niche. Most people don't need this guarantee of sustainability and will prefer platforms with more features.

Does it play nice with my stack?

Almost no integration. It's a blog, period. No advanced analytics, no integrated newsletter, no SEO. If you want to connect to other tools, forget it.

Is it easy to pick up?

Ultra simple. You write, you publish. That's it. No complexity, but also no flexibility.

Is the UX any good?

Minimalist by design, intentionally simple. Some will find it calming, others frustrating. It's really the essentials, nothing more.

Is it worth it?

5 dollars per month with a promise of lifetime hosting is unique on the market. If sustainability matters to you, it can be worth it. However, you're mainly paying for the promise, not for features.

What I like

  • Simple personal blog for those who just want to write without frills
  • Writers who value sustainability and the guarantee that their blog will always exist
  • Zero maintenance and zero technical worries

What I like less

  • Those who want advanced features as it's intentionally basic
  • Limited SEO and almost no customization
  • No monetization features or integrated newsletter
