Short answer:
- We’re a small, efficient team.
- We minimize dependency on costly third-party services.
- Current pricing is a lifetime early-adopter deal.
And worth to add:
- We never use your visitor data to have extra profit.
- We are still healthy enough to proceed with current prices.
Let’s dive into the details:
Team Size
We’re a lean team, just one full-time and one part-time team member. Unlike hosting providers with dozens of employees, we keep our operations efficient and our overhead low.
We believe in building well-automated systems that reduce the need for human intervention. This lets us focus on core improvements instead of routine tasks, keeping our costs -and your prices- down.
Smart Use of External Services
Ghost relies on external tools like Mailgun (for newsletters), Tinybird (for analytics), and Google Cloud (for Social Web). At Synaps Media, we either self-host these components or use affordable, reliable alternatives.
For example:
- We use legacy Mailgun pricing from past services, allowing us to offer email without passing on inflated costs.
- Instead of Tinybird, we use our in-house analytics engine, developed and battle-tested over years. It offers similar functionality but with zero external service fees.
- We host ActivityPub server (Social Web) on our own servers.
This strategic setup lets us offer fully featured Ghost hosting at a fraction of the typical cost.
Early-Adopter Pricing That Lasts
We launched Synaps Media in 2024 and opened up to the public in early 2025. Our current pricing is designed to reward those who believed in us early.
The best part?
If you subscribe now, you keep this pricing—even if we adjust plans or prices in the future.*
Think of it as a lifetime early-adopter deal, as long as your subscription remains active.
No side-business
It's worth to mention that, unlike some providers, we don't have any ad-supported plans, or we don't have any plans to earn extra with the traffic of your sites, by injecting advertisements or using visitor data for other purposes. Your site is completely yours.
