Everything you need to run a publication that gets found

Articles on Hashnode already rank in search and get cited by AI engines. Pro builds on that reach with your own domain, the API, AI writing tools, and more, with new features on the way.

Pro

Your own domain, the API, AI writing tools, and more, for one publication.

$5/ month

$50 / year (2 months free). Per seat.

Custom domain

Map your own domain to this publication in place of the default hashnode.dev subdomain.

query {
  publication(host: "alexrivera.dev") {
    posts(first: 3) {
      edges { node {
        title
        url
      } }
    }
  }
}

GraphQL API access

Read and write publication data through the public GraphQL endpoint to integrate with any application.

• Next.js
• Astro
• React
• Nuxt

Headless mode

Use Hashnode as a headless CMS and power a custom frontend while keeping the publishing experience.

I moved my side project from Postgres to SQLite last October.

AI editor tools

An in-editor AI assistant plus inline generators for outlines, rewrites, and summaries.

• post_published✓ Slack
• post_updated✓ Zapier
• post_deleted✓ Your endpoint

Webhooks

Send real-time event notifications to Slack, Zapier, or any HTTP endpoint when your content changes.

• Agent skill for the APIOne command teaches your AI coding agent the entire Hashnode GraphQL API. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and more.
• GitHub backupSync every post and draft to a GitHub repository as Markdown for full version history.
• Bulk markdown importBring an existing publication over from a zip of Markdown files. Frontmatter maps your titles, tags, canonical URLs, and original publish dates automatically.
• Hide Hashnode brandingRemove the "Powered by Hashnode" footer, the floating Write button, and the Hashnode logo from your public publication.
• Scheduled publishingSchedule drafts to publish automatically at a future date and time.
• Posts are never auto-deletedOff-topic posts are excluded from automoderation removal. Instead of being deleted, they are shadow-banned (hidden from public feeds) so you keep your content.
• Up to 10 publicationsUpgrading one publication raises your account limit from 1 to 10: one Pro publication plus nine free ones, each its own site with unlimited articles. Pro applies per publication, so upgrade the others separately if they need Pro features.

Growth

Everything in Pro, plus the AEO toolkit: get your articles picked as the answer by ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity.

$34/ month

$340 / year. Each extra seat is $5 / month.

AEO score

A live 0 to 100 score in the editor toolbar, recomputed as you write. An eight-point checklist shows exactly what to fix: question headings, direct answers, a lead summary, meta description, and more.

Citation tracking

Track up to 10 questions your readers ask AI engines. Every day we ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity each one and record whether your publication is cited, with a running trend per query. See every other domain that shows up in the same answers too, ranked by how often they're cited, with your site marked out.

AI traffic tracking

See how many sessions ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude send to your publication: a 30-day total, the trend against the previous 30 days, a daily bar chart, and a breakdown by assistant. Needs Hashnode to render your publication, so headless publications won't see this populate.

1,204sessions, last 30 days+38%

FAQ blocks with structured data

Add up to 10 question-and-answer pairs per article, drafted by AI from your content and fully editable. They render after the article and ship as FAQPage JSON-LD so answer engines can quote you.

• Rewrite as Q&AOne click restructures any passage into a question heading followed by a direct answer under 50 words, the format answer engines quote.
• AI crawler controls and llms.txtPer-bot robots.txt toggles for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and CCBot, plus an llms.txt index so AI agents read your articles as clean markdown. Applies to publications Hashnode hosts; headless sites serve their own robots.txt.
• Freshness queueEvery article scored and sorted stalest first, with anything untouched for over a year flagged. Answer engines prefer fresh content, so you always know what to update next.
