Founder story

Founded in 2020 by Gerard van der Vaart (and based in Barcelona). The team recognized that managing a news site was becoming too technically difficult for most publishers. They built Newsifier to be a profit-making, founder-led company that empowers the 'underdogs' of the media world with the same tech as major outlets.

Comparison overview

• WordPress: Highly flexible but prone to breaking and requires manual maintenance; Newsifier is a managed, secure environment.
• Ghost: Excellent for newsletters, but Newsifier offers more advanced community and ad-management features for high-traffic news portals.
• Newsifier is for publishers who want to run a professional media business without being their own CTO.
