Wordpress is the biggest competitor of blogger. It is very powerful CMS that has hundreds of features available. It has a free version and a paid one. The biggest drawback of Wordpress is that its free version does not support monetization, which means you can’t make money by its free version.

Wordpress is the winner in the race of customization(tools and plugins) and features. If you want to make a blog with too many customizations I suggest you Wordpress. It works with hosted and non-hosted both the types of blogs.

Typepad.
