Pro builds on that reach with your own domain, the API, AI writing tools, and more, with new features on the way. [Get Hashnode Pro](https://hashnode.com/login?callbackUrl=/pro) $5 / month · $50 / year (2 months free) ## 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. ### GraphQL API access Read and write publication data through the public GraphQL endpoint to integrate with any application. ### Headless mode Use Hashnode as a headless CMS and power a custom frontend while keeping the publishing experience. ### AI editor tools An in-editor AI assistant plus inline generators for outlines, rewrites, and summaries. ### Webhooks Send real-time event notifications to Slack, Zapier, or any HTTP endpoint when your content changes. - Agent skill for the API One command teaches your AI coding agent the entire Hashnode GraphQL API. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and more. - GitHub backup Sync every post and draft to a GitHub repository as Markdown for full version history. - Bulk markdown import Bring an existing publication over from a zip of Markdown files. Frontmatter maps your titles, tags, canonical URLs, and original publish dates automatically. - Hide Hashnode branding Remove the "Powered by Hashnode" footer, the floating Write button, and the Hashnode logo from your public publication. - Scheduled publishing Schedule drafts to publish automatically at a future date and time. - Posts are never auto-deleted Off-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 publications Upgrading 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. - 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&A One 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.txt Per-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 queue Every 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. ## Frequently asked questions ### What do I get with Pro? Custom domain, the GraphQL API, headless mode, AI writing tools, webhooks, GitHub backup, bulk Markdown import, branding removal, scheduled publishing, protection from automoderation, and up to 10 publications. ### Is Pro per publication or per account? Per publication. Upgrading one keeps your others on the free plan, so you go Pro only on the publications that need it, and you can upgrade any of the rest whenever you're ready. ### How does pricing work for teams? It's per seat. A solo publication is one seat at $5 a month. Team publications are billed per member, and adding a member charges a prorated amount for the rest of the current cycle right away. Paying yearly gets you two months free. ### What is the Growth Plan? Everything in Pro plus the AEO toolkit, for a flat $29 a month on top of your Pro seats. It's built for teams that want their articles picked as the answer by AI engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. ### What's in the AEO toolkit? FAQ blocks that ship as FAQPage structured data, a live AEO score in the editor, one-click Q&A rewrites, per-bot AI crawler controls with llms.txt, a freshness queue of your stalest articles, and daily tracking of whether AI engines cite your publication, plus who else they cite for the same question and how much traffic ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude send you. The crawler controls and llms.txt apply to publications Hashnode hosts; a headless site serves its own robots.txt. AI traffic tracking needs Hashnode to render your publication, so it won't populate on headless publications. ### Can I switch between Pro and Growth? Yes, anytime from your publication's Billing page. Upgrading charges the prorated amount for the rest of the current cycle right away. Downgrading takes effect immediately, with no credit for the unused part of the cycle. If you drop the AEO toolkit your FAQ data and settings are kept and come back when you re-upgrade. ### Can I run more than one publication? Yes. Once any publication is on Pro you can create and run up to 10, each with its own domain and audience. ### Where do I find the GraphQL API and the AI agent skill? Both show up on the Billing page of your publication's dashboard once your payment goes through. You'll see your GraphQL API endpoint and where to manage access tokens, plus the one-line command to install the agent skill for Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and more. ### How do I upgrade? Open the publication you want to upgrade, go to Billing in its dashboard, and pick a plan. Checkout runs through Stripe. ### Can I cancel anytime? Yes, from the Stripe billing portal. Pro stays active until the end of the period you paid for and doesn't renew. Then Pro-only features like a custom domain, webhooks, and headless mode switch off. Your articles stay put.
