### "Free Website Creation Made Easy"

January 13, 2026

5.0

I have used Blogger for over 15 years. I've created many permanent sites and some temporary. They are easily indexed through the Google console to get great placement on search engines. They're easy to create and are very simple to use for a quick site needed to promote a special piece of my art for an upcoming event.

Pros

I can make as many websites as I want for free. I use them with Google adsense and products I sell to bring in more revenue. Because they are by Google I am able to easily get relevant traffic using basic SEO skills. It also offers a free ssl certificate internally placed for security requirements.

Cons

Because it is free, it has many limits that a paid host offers. The templates are limited so much customizaion is needed.

### "Blogger Is very good"

June 16, 2025

5.0

I have been using it for at least ten years and it has never let me down. I think they might update it but I would rather not have to learn new stuff

Pros

It is easy to use and it has kept the same format for a long time. I think I had a hard time deciding if I like this more then word Press

Cons

I want a button that will allow me to have downloadable files. I think that would make it better for sure.

Alternatives considered

[WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/)

Reason for choosing Blogger

It does not charge me from day one. I think it lets me monetize also.

### "Sending out client alerts at midnight without even calling IT."

September 15, 2026

5.0

Blogger actually solved a real problem for me - getting time-sensitive info to clients without needing to hire someone else to do it. For a small practice where I’m squeezing in updates between depositions and research, that kind of simplicity is a lifesaver. I can just focus on the legal content. I don't have to wrestle with some complicated CMS, and honestly, that’s worth everything.

Pros

Our firm needed a way to post case updates and client alerts fast, without having to wait on web developers. Blogger let me draft articles, drop in PDFs, and just hit publish right from my desk, no tickets, no waiting for approval. The templates took care of the formatting on their own.

Cons

If you want to do anything beyond the basics, customizing templates means digging through HTML, and I’m definitely not a coder. The built-in editor has a habit of stripping my formatting whenever I paste from Word. Because of that, I’ve just started cleaning up my citations manually before I upload them.

### "Easy to use "

January 1, 2026

3.0

Eh, it was ok. As a user, it does the job but if someone posts defaming blogs there's little to no support in getting the material removed

Pros

The ability to easily create, publish, and share content online is extremely easy, even a child can do it.

Cons

There's no live customer support. All support is through an AI system, with the option to submit a report to be reviewed but there's no feedback or communication from support team.

### "The best starter option out there"

June 16, 2023

5.0

It's my favorite in order to pass Google ads and then I have so far tended to switch over to another platform once I've been "certified"

Pros

The best part about blogger is that it is so easy to start and use, however after moving from some other hosting platforms out there you really start to notice Just how much it is lacking in terms of useful features It really is just a blank simple easy to use platform and nothing else, bare bone if you will.

Cons

My least favorite thing about blogger was that it just didn't offer much outside of hosting a blog. And there doesn't seem to be much in terms of SEO help for instance a lot of the terms even though it's with Google didn't match up to what I was used to and you would think a lot of the things that Google uses to rank would be included but they are not for instance meta tags and all that stuff would be a lot easier to access or utilize. It's extremely bare bones

Reason for choosing Blogger

The ease of use gave me time to straighten out other areas of my business before pushing forward with the blog on a more comprehensive platform.

### "The best and the free blogging platform for beginners"

September 27, 2021

5.0

Although WordPress is my best recommendation for serious Bloggers, but if you want a free blogging platform, no web hosting, and acquire Google AdSense faster, then I would recommend Blogger for newbies. My experience with Blogger was cool via the pros that I mentioned earlier but the side effects of using Blogger is something I do not recommend for any serious blogger out there. Get web hosting, optimize your website, and rank very high on Google and other search engines, which is one of the goals of every serious blogger.

Pros

My main blog today began with Blogger blog builder, and I would say Blogger it's probably the best when you talk about free blogging, no web hosting and it's easier to acquire Google AdSense on your blog because they own the platform.

Cons

Blogger is 100% free simply doesn't mean everything is perfect, I recently switched to WordPress because I couldn't customize my blog to my desired taste, and for me to do so, I must either approach third party websites to acquire HTML codes or go on Fiverr or Upwork to get a freelancer to do that for me, all in wasting of money. WordPress has unlimited plugins that do assist me in running my blog without approaching any random website, and I believe, every free stuffs got limitations just like Blogger.

Switched from

[WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/)

I needed web hosting to secure my blog and it's files, compete with top level domains, rank high on search engines, and the ability to control and run my blog with the help of WordPress plugins, which some are even free to use, all because Blogger couldn't provide any of the above mentioned, for me.

### "Free. Simple. Blogging platform for individuals and small teams."

November 28, 2025

5.0

It might work for a team as an extremely low-cost way to publish financial tips, firm news, and educational content without concern for hosting or maintenance. It allows advisors to maintain an easily accessible, frequently updated repository of their content to help foster trust with clients and prospects alike.​

Pros

Blogger is completely free, quick to set up with just a Google account, and includes hosting, basic themes, and simple tools for writing, scheduling posts, and checking stats. It’s easy enough that non‑technical users can publish articles, add images or videos, and start sharing content in minutes, which suits a small financial services firm well.​

Cons

Limited customization compared to modern site builders: templates are basic, advanced design changes harder, with less control over the site than on self-hosted platforms. There’s no dedicated customer support, updates are infrequent, and power users often outgrow its simple feature set and SEO tools.

### "Simple website creation and the publication of articles by editorial teams."

November 8, 2025

5.0

Blogger made it easy for our team to publish content and update our journal's site, supporting fast article releases and page editing. It has increased our online visibility and helped us maintain consistency for the International Journal of Nursing and Health Services.

Pros

I like how Blogger's intuitive setup lets me create our journal's website, publish articles, and edit pages with such ease. Customizing layouts and managing content is pretty straightforward, which keeps our publishing workflow at an efficient level, allowing us to focus on writing.

Cons

Customer support can be slow to answer complex issues, and learning advanced customization takes extra time. Security and user permissions take careful setup to protect sensitive drafts, which is not exactly intuitive for new editors.

### "Blogger for technical documentation"

January 18, 2026

5.0

I still like to use google blogger to write techinical documentation since it has very simple user interface.

Pros

I use google blogger to write technical documentation and share with teams, you can also use blogger and knowledgebase for your team, it supports rich text editing. And you can easily share your content on social media.

Cons

Google blogger is also a 10+ year product, it lacks the latest integration with AI and mordern features.

November 16, 2025

4.0

Pros

Blogger is an effective medium for article writing, creative website content, and personalized publishing. It allows editing even after publishing. The comments section enables interactive communication with readers.

Cons

Blogger, while convenient and easily integrated with Google applications, has not updated its features in a long time. It has almost become a thing of the past, probably due to lack of innovative features.

### "A Versatile Bogging Website "

May 15, 2025

4.0

My overall experience has been positive. It offers lots of features, though at times I wish they were easier to navigate.

Pros

I like its easy public use for sharing all manner of information. It's accessible and easy to use. I used it for managing a blog for family and friends when we went to Europe, and it worked quite well.

Cons

I found earlier versions of the website to be more helpful. There are more options today, and, therefore, more issues. It has made it more difficult for casual users to know all of its ins and outs.

### "Honest review by a mobile user of this app"

July 19, 2023

4.0

A good experience in writing with lack of SEO settings.

Pros

The blogger app is a very good writing tool for mobile users and for the people who want to learn how to write content and decorate it.

Cons

The blogger app doesn't have even simple SEO settings like Image ALT text, Search description, centre align, these features are available on official site of blogger, the site does not fulfill the needs of mobile users such as writing, theme upload and does not have search option in html code (Mobile mostly Android) (even with desktop mode) while it has these features on Desktop and laptop like windows devices.

### "Great Product for Simple Blog"

March 26, 2024

5.0

Blogger has been the most straightforward product. Simple to cut and paste and publish. It feeds our app without fail. It has been the most reliable product I’ve used to date.

Pros

Blogger is so easy to use. I just cut a paste just like any regular word processor. When I go to schedule my posts, a window pops up to verify the time and date I have selected and that feature has caught errors before they happened.

Cons

Hard to think of anything that I really don’t like about it. In the beginning I had a little trouble with the RSS feed, but was able to resolve the issues quickly.

### "Free Blogging Platform highly recommended for Starters"

October 17, 2022

5.0

I really enjoyed the beginning of my blogging journey with Blogger. It is pocket friendly; you only need to buy a domain name to point your blog from .blogspot.com to yourdomain.com and you don't have to pay for hosting.

Pros

I started my blogging journey with Blogger, It is very easy to setup your blog on the platform and start publishing new articles. I love the fact that one can easily see stats, connect to search console, and analytics without using any third party plugin. The interface is very easy to navigate and there is a lot of themes to choose from when you want to customize your blog

Cons

Just like every free platform, you are limited when it comes to customizations. You can only customize your blog within acceptable limits by the Google team behind it.

### "An easy to use trusted content platform"

July 19, 2022

5.0

A trusted friend in the background

Pros

I am keeping my one and only blog on the Blogger for over a decade. I have been an irregular creator and have moved countries a few times but Blogger always remained part of my creative footprint. It never lost a single word or text I ever wrote on it. I often write on it in both Hindi and English and it always worked. All this while I have come across many other platforms but I never think about shifting and feel good about having a familiar interface coming up whenever I log in.

Cons

The URL says it as blogspot but it's official name is Blogger. I ever confused confused why two names. Often it sends out some messages re some content copyright issues which are too difficult to comprehend. I did study how to use other features to add more plugins but get stuck as felt I will be tech heads to do that. So it becomes complex when you want to go to the next step from the basic beginnings.

I used Blogger years ago to write about religious experiences. I was able to create content and gain followers quickly. You can add photos, videos and blogs without any issues.

Pros

Blogger makes it easy to write a post, hit publish, and gather followers of your content.

Cons

If you want to start a blog, Blogger is just fine. However, Blogger can be confining. I would prefer to use a platform that gives bloggers more options for the way their blog looks.
