Hyvor Blogs

What Hyvor Blogs is

Hyvor Blogs is a hosted blogging platform for writers, developers and small publishing teams who want a blog on their own domain, with no ads on the page and the writing tools built in. It is one of several products from HYVOR, a company that says it crafts "privacy-first, user-friendly tools for websites" and whose home page gives an address in Paris, France. The same company makes Hyvor Talk for comments, Hyvor Post for newsletters, Hyvor Relay, an email API for developers, and a product called Fortguard. Hyvor Blogs appears on the company's home page as its "Blogging platform". The company's own blog calls it "an all-in-one blogging platform" where you can "create a fully-featured blog with a custom theme, and host it on a custom domain". This entry is for the blogger, company blog team or developer who wants to run a blog, and for a developer who wants blog content as data behind a front end of their own.

What you build and how

What you build here is a blog, run from what the company calls the blog console, where you write posts, manage the site and manage the contributors on your team. Posts are written in a rich text editor that the company says supports markdown syntax, and its feature list names headings, blockquotes, images, embeds and code blocks among the things you can add. The drawing tool Excalidraw is embedded in the image uploader, so a writer can sketch a diagram while writing and drop it straight into the post. The company also says the console is mobile friendly, so you can write and publish from a phone.

Design and themes. A blog starts from one of the official themes, which the company names as Zing, Pela, Hello and Raydo, among others. It says these official themes "are free and open-source", that "All official themes will forever be free", and that they can be customized. If none fits, you can build your own theme and upload it. Fonts are a small but specific detail: a feature called Google Fonts, Locally serves the font CSS and files from your own domain, and the company says "no requests are sent to Google or any other third party." The company's comparison table also lists "No Branding" as a Hyvor Blogs feature.

Domains and hosting. Every blog can sit on a custom domain. The company puts it this way: "In Hyvor Blogs, you can have custom domains. For your blog then you can have a domain like abc.com, not abc.hyvorblogs.com." The page says there is no extra fee for this. A second publishing option is sub-directory hosting, which puts the blog at /blog of an existing web app, and the company names Cloudflare Workers, Next.js, Laravel and Symfony as supported frameworks for it.

Languages. Multi-language blogging is on by default: you add languages to a blog as you need them. An AI-powered auto translation feature translates a post with one click, and the company says not only posts but everything on the blog can be converted into other languages. Right-to-left languages are supported, with Arabic, Hebrew and Farsi named as examples, and the company says its themes support RTL too.

AI and writing aids. The editor has an integrated GPT assistant, which one comparison page names as "chat GPT 3.5". You can generate content and outlines and use pre-built prompts such as SEO keyword ideas and FAQ generators, then place the result in the post. A real-time SEO analyzer in the post editor checks keyword usage, internal and external links and other on-page factors as you write. A link analyzer checks every internal, external and anchor link in a post while you write it, and a full-blog analysis runs every 14 days and emails you a report of broken links.

Code on the page. Developer blogs get syntax highlighting built in. One page says "Hyvor Blogs comes with in-built syntax highlighting with support for 100+ languages and 25+ Vscode themes", and another gives the figures as 134 languages and 28 VScode themes. Both say line highlighting, focusing and numbering work out of the box. That makes the platform practical for tutorials and documentation-style posts that carry real code.

Comments, newsletters and memberships. These come from the sister product Hyvor Talk. The company's comparison table marks the commenting system, the newsletter feature and the membership feature as included through Hyvor Talk "starting from the Growth Plan". With memberships you set up plans for paid subscribers and use Hyvor Talk's gated content to keep posts for them. Social sharing to the major networks is built in.

Integrations and API. For the tools a blogger adds around the content, the company publishes guides for Google Adsense, Google Analytics, Typeform, ConvertKit, Memberstack, Mailchimp, Google Forms, Microsoft Forms and Wufoo Forms. For developers it names four interfaces. The Data API returns a blog's public data as JSON, and the company says it "makes Hyvor Blogs work as a headless CMS for an alternative front-end." The Delivery API, with webhooks, serves the blog from a subdirectory of your own application. The Console API is "the same API we use in the Console", for automating admin tasks or building your own console. Webhooks ping a URL when something happens, such as a post being created.

Ownership and data. The company stresses that the blog is yours. It says Hyvor Blogs "does not inject ads, trackers, affiliate links, or paywalls into your blog", and under data ownership it says "You can export your content and move to another platform anytime."

Plans, pricing and company facts

Hyvor Blogs has no free plan. The company says it "does not offer you a free plan but offers you a 7-day trial and paid plans". Pricing "is based on the number of admin users (writers) on your blog and the total amount of Storage used", and the company says "There are no feature limitations" between plans and that you "don't have to pay for any of the features or themes." The plan list on the company's blog reads:

• Starter Plan, $9/month
• Growth Plan, $19/month
• Premium, $49/month
• Team Plan, $299/month
• Business Plan, $699/month
• Enterprise Plan, $1299/month

The blog posts that carry this list point readers to the pricing page for current figures, and they do not say how many writers or how much storage each step includes. The Growth Plan is the step where Hyvor Talk comments, newsletters and memberships come in, according to the comparison table.

On the company, the founders' letter on the home page says HYVOR started in 2020 with Hyvor Talk, rolled out Hyvor Blogs in 2023 and Hyvor Post in 2025. It says the products are "used by millions worldwide from small blogs to large enterprises" and that the company has "never sold user data to third parties and never will." It describes itself as "a bootstrapped company", with "no outside investors", and says its profitability depends on its customers. The home page footer carries a "GDPR Compliant" mark and links to a GDPR compliance page, a data processing agreement, a sub-processor list, a security page and a status page. For larger organizations it offers "an enterprise solution with self-hosting, SSO, and more". Support runs through a support e-mail address, the documentation site and the HYVOR Community, which the company calls "the place to discuss our products and get help." The home page also names a small team: two co-founders and two software engineers.

Who it suits and who it does not

Hyvor Blogs suits an independent writer or a developer who wants a blog on a custom domain with no ads, built-in SEO and link checks, and code formatting that needs no plugin. It suits a company blog run by a small team, since pricing grows with writers and storage rather than with features, and the multi-language and auto translation tools help a business that publishes in several languages, including right-to-left ones. Developers get a real escape hatch: the Data API turns the blog into a headless content source, and sub-directory hosting puts it under the main site's domain path. A larger organization that needs self-hosting or SSO has the enterprise offer to talk to.

It is a blog tool, not a general website or store builder, so landing pages, product catalogs and checkout belong elsewhere, and forms come in through the third-party form tools the company writes guides for. There is no free plan, only a 7-day trial, so a hobby blogger pays from the first month after it. Comments, newsletters and memberships start at the Growth Plan rather than the entry plan, which is worth weighing if you want to build an audience from day one.
