Correct me if I'm wrong or missing something here, but Ghost IS free. It's like Wordpress, where you can download the software and install, manage, and deploy all on your own, but if you want a managed ghost blog or website, they charge subscription fees. You can see their source code on Github

Hmm i'm not so sure that it is free. Looking on their website it says "You can test out a free 14 day trial of Ghost(Pro) any time, which is probably the best way to get familiar with the product." I don't see any free plans all the pricing is paid.

Well, what I meant is that the software itself is free to download via Github and use yourself; of course, haven't used it myself so I'm not entirely sure about this. Again, it would be like wordpress, where you can just download and install the app and you can manage the software yourself, but the plans seem to be aimed at "managed hosting", kinda like if you sign up for wordpress hosting plans on a hosting company's website.
