FrontRows — automatic Discord, Kit & Transistor access for Ghost members

Hi Ghost community,

We built FrontRows to solve a problem we kept seeing Ghost publishers run into: you have paying members, but your Discord server, Kit newsletter list, and Transistor private podcast are all managed separately. Someone cancels their Ghost subscription — they still have Discord access. Someone upgrades — you manually update their permissions. It adds up fast.

FrontRows connects Ghost to your other platforms and handles access automatically. Member joins → access granted. Member cancels → access revoked. No webhooks to configure, no Zapier flows to maintain.

What it connects today: Ghost, Discord, Kit, Transistor, Stripe, and YouTube.

Free up to 25 members. From $10/month after that — flat fee, no cut of what your members pay you.


We’re also currently putting together a small founding community of Ghost publishers. If you’ve been around for a while and have an audience that trusts you — there’s $500 up for grabs for a simple task.

Drop a reply here or reach out directly to siim.tiidenberg@frontrows.com or katre.kv@frontrows.com and we’ll send you the details.

How does that differ to the official Transistor integration (for Transistor specifically)?

Great question Jannis — the official Ghost + Transistor integration is excellent for what it does: it syncs Ghost members directly to a private Transistor podcast feed. If that’s all you need, it’s the right tool.

FrontRows is useful when you’re running more than one platform alongside Ghost. For example if you have a Ghost publication, a Discord community, a Kit newsletter and a Transistor podcast — FrontRows connects all of them in one place. When a member joins or cancels their Ghost subscription, their access across Discord, Kit and Transistor all update automatically from a single dashboard. No need to set up separate integrations for each one.

So for Transistor specifically there’s overlap, but FrontRows is built for publishers who have a multi-platform stack and want one tool to manage it rather than separate integrations stitched together.
