Koo vs WordPress
WordPress is infinitely flexible, but you assemble and maintain the SEO and blogging stack yourself. Koo includes it.
WordPress wins on flexibility. Koo wins on time. Choose WordPress if you have (or are hiring) a developer to wrangle hosting, plugins and SEO. Choose Koo if you'd rather skip that entire stack.
Koo replaces the typical WordPress stack (host, theme, Yoast or RankMath, Elementor, form plugin, caching, backups and security plugin) with a single hosted product. You don't pick plugins, you don't apply security updates, and the marketing layer (auto-blogging, automated SEO, X posting) is built in rather than bolted on.
WordPress powers a remarkable chunk of the web for good reason. The plugin ecosystem is unmatched, you fully own your data, and with the right team you can build almost anything. For agencies and developers, it remains the default.

When WordPress is the better choice
- You have specific technical requirements (custom post types, complex integrations, headless CMS, LMS).
- You want full data ownership and the right to host wherever you like.
- You already employ or contract a WordPress developer comfortable maintaining the stack.
Moving from WordPress to Koo
Koo's WordPress importer reads a standard WXR export (Tools, Export). Pages, posts, images, categories and tags come across. We re-issue clean URLs, generate schema, and you can keep WordPress redirecting to Koo until you're confident, then point DNS for the final cutover.
