Hyax vs Wordpress

A modern blogging and newsletter platform that works, without needing to configure plugins

Most open-source blogging platforms today (like Wordpress) are slow, hard to use, and easily hackable

Like a lot of you, we started out using Wordpress, but we were frustrated with how bad the platform was. Third-party plugins were frequently getting hacked, older plugins became incompatible over time, and our site kept getting hacked.

Not to mention how darn slow Wordpress can get...

So we designed a blogging platform built with modern technology in mind — easy to use, secure, and lightning fast.

Pros and Cons of Hyax vs Wordpress

Which one is right for you?

Pros and Cons of Hyax

We created an ultra-lightweight, super fast and beautiful blogging platform. But because we prioritize speed, there's not as much customization, although new templates are being created as we improve our app.

Hyax is also very much a set it and forget type of app, which means we handle updates, keeping your site online, and adding new features. If you just want to focus on creating content and marketing, Hyax is perfect for you.

Our app also starts at $249 / one-time, which is great for people just wanting to dip their toes into content monetization. As your needs increase, add-ons can increase your file space and features.

Prior to creating Hyax, we used Wordpress extensively, and our biggest complaint was that plugins kept breaking, our sites kept going down, and things like updating PHP were things we had to handle.

Pros

  • Simple way to launch your site
  • Ultra-fast & SEO friendly
  • Built-in apps (more secure)
  • One-time pricing

Cons

  • Not as customizable
  • Lower template variety

Pros and Cons of WordPress

WordPress is a widely-used open source (CMS) known for its flexibility and customization options. It's known for being free, but with that comes a lot of issues and headaches. If you need the most customization over your website, then Wordpress will give you that power to create any kind of website you want.

However, because its a software you have to maintain and install on your own, it can cause a lot of issues if you don't know how to maintain your own servers, updates, and plugins. In fact, most companies have to hire an in-house developer just to maintain their Wordpress installs OR hire a company that manages your Wordpress for you. All of this means your site will cost a lot more, even though Wordpress itself is "free."

If you need the highest level of customization, then Wordpress is probably for you. But for 99% of creators, we don't think Wordpress adds enough. In fact, it's generally a huge headache.

Pros

  • Flexible and customizable
  • Large community and support
  • Wide range of plugins and themes

Cons

  • Security vulnerabilities
  • Very slow (Performance issues)
  • Frequent maintenance required
  • Complexity for beginners
