For writing a technical blog, the two are a tie: Markdown, code highlighting, math, RSS, and publishing straight from a Git repo. The difference is what happens after you publish. Hashnode grows your reach inside its network. Writizzy pushes your work out of it, with SEO tooling, cross-posting, a newsletter you own, and the option to charge for it.

Both write the post just as well. The question is where the readers come from once it's live.
A strong home for a developer blog, with a genuinely large built-in dev community. If that network is your main reach, it's hard to beat. The limits show up later: uniform design, no multilingual, no cross-posting, no paid content, and since June 2026 the custom domain, the API and scheduled publishing all sit behind Hashnode Pro at $5 per seat.
Everything a good dev blog needs (Markdown, code highlighting, math, your own domain) plus what Hashnode leaves out: full design control, an SEO audit per article, cross-posting to your social networks, multilingual publishing, and a newsletter with optional paid memberships at 0% commission. Built to grow any blog, developers included.
Choose Hashnode if a built-in developer audience is your main way to get read. That is the one real reason left. Choose Writizzy if you'd rather your readers came from search, social and email, you want the blog to look like yours, and you might one day charge for what you write. Git workflows are welcome either way.
Pick the column that sounds like you.
You want reach you don't rent
A developer network is your growth engine
If that's you, Hashnode is a fine choice today.
A clear bottom line on each, including the two that are a tie and the one where Hashnode comes out ahead.
For the writing itself, this is a tie, and it's worth saying up front. Markdown, code syntax highlighting, math formulas, canonical URLs when you repost something you published elsewhere, drafts, scheduled publishing, tags and RSS are all there on both sides. If you're picking a home for a technical blog, neither editor will hold you back.
Hashnode blogs are clean but largely uniform, with little room to customize. Writizzy gives you a growing theme library with control over colors, typography, dark mode, and your own custom domain, so your blog looks like you, not like every other dev blog. Developers care about this too: your blog is part of your identity.
Hashnode has solid SEO basics for developer content, and its network gives new posts a push. Writizzy treats search as a channel you work at: sitemaps, schema.org data, SEO-friendly tag pages, and a post-publication audit that gives every article a health score with the specific things to fix, plus dead-link detection running in the background.
Hashnode's reach is mostly Hashnode's reach: the feed, the network, the tags. Writizzy assumes your readers are already somewhere else, so every article you publish is cross-posted out to your social networks and to dev.to, automatically or with an "ask me first" step, with a generic webhook for anything else you've wired up. Hashnode has no native cross-posting.
Hashnode emails your posts to subscribers, and that's where it stops: there are no paid memberships and no paywalled content, by design. Writizzy's newsletter is a real channel, with subscriber tiers, imports, your own sending setup and generous monthly sending, and you can put any post behind a paywall. Payments go straight to your Stripe account, and Writizzy takes 0% of them.
Writizzy translates any post into a ready-to-review draft in one click, with automatic hreflang and a reader-facing language switcher, so the same article can rank and be read in every language you publish. Hashnode has no multilingual support, and no modern competitor does this natively.
Both let you keep your posts as markdown in a repo and publish on push, so nobody has to leave their editor. Hashnode's version is a native integration and is a little smoother to set up. On Writizzy it runs through the API, which reads, creates, updates and publishes posts and uploads the images alongside them, with a ready-made GitHub Action doing the work. Same result, one extra file to drop in.
Here Hashnode genuinely wins, and it's worth saying plainly. Its built-in developer feed and discovery network can put your articles in front of a large, relevant technical audience with no external promotion. Writizzy has a growing discover feed and reaches readers via RSS and cross-posting, but nothing at Hashnode's scale in the dev niche yet.
Every line, for the thorough evaluator.
This is EXACTLY what personal blogging needed.
Easy to use. Straight to the point. You write and publish. That's it. Amazing work.
Gave me the final push to write my first blog post. Incredibly intuitive, focusing only on the essentials without any clutter.
Totally removes the overwhelming side of current tools to focus on writing, while being at a great price.

Yes. You keep everything you went to Hashnode for: Markdown, code syntax highlighting, math formulas, publishing straight from a Git repo, your own domain. On top of that you get a blog that looks like yours rather than like every other dev blog, an SEO audit on every article, automatic cross-posting to your social networks and dev.to, multilingual publishing, and the option to charge for a post at 0% commission. Hashnode hands you a developer feed. Writizzy hands you the channels to build an audience that stays yours.
Yes. Markdown, code syntax highlighting, math formulas, tags, drafts, scheduled publishing, RSS and a canonical URL field when you repost something you published elsewhere. Plenty of engineering teams and indie developers run their blog on it. Nothing about Writizzy assumes you are writing for a general audience.
Yes. Keep your posts as markdown files with a bit of front matter, and a GitHub Action publishes them on every push, images included. The slug identifies the post, so pushing again updates the article instead of creating a second one. It runs on the Writizzy API, available from the Starter plan, so the same idea works from any script or CI you already use.
Yes, and on every plan including the free one. Put any post behind a paywall, offer free and paid subscriber tiers, and readers pay through your own Stripe account. Writizzy takes 0% of that revenue, you only pay the usual Stripe processing fees.
From search, email and social, which keep working long after publication day. Every article gets an SEO audit with a health score and the exact things to fix, on top of sitemaps, schema.org data and tag pages. Every post is cross-posted to your social networks and to dev.to automatically, emailed to your subscribers, and published to RSS. A platform feed sends a spike from readers who belong to the platform. These channels send readers who belong to you, and your best articles keep earning them for years.
Free up to 100 subscribers, with unlimited posts, comments, RSS and paid memberships included. The first paid plan is Starter at €9 a month, which adds a custom domain, up to 3 blogs, a newsletter up to 1,000 subscribers, cross-posting and the API. It is one flat price whoever writes, not a price per seat.
Writizzy imports from Medium, Ghost, WordPress, Substack, Beehiiv and Bloggrify, and can set up redirects from your old URLs so you keep the search traffic you have earned. Coming from somewhere else, the write API takes markdown directly, which is how the GitHub publishing flow works.
Free up to 100 subscribers, with paid memberships available from day one. No credit card required.
