Total Score:-	Last	2nd	1st

So this is my final score. Blogger definitely beat the Crap out of Wordpress.com, couldn’t even stand a chance to beat blogger and Wordpress.org.

There are lots of perks in Blogger because Google owns the blogger and that is why it is more SEO optimized but Self hosted Wordpress.org gives you the freedom to do anything and everything. Plus your blog isn’t automatically deleted and you can customize it whatever you like with little plugins. You can host whatever you like and whenever you like. You can even host a video hosting site because you are paying for it.

The downside for Wordpress.org is that you have to pay for it and you have to maintain it. Plus you must have knowledge about the basics plus advance stuff to host a blog. Which on Google’s blogger you don’t have to know about the advance things. You simply create a blog and start writing.
