Well This question answer lies without you. WordPress no doubts a great blogging platform and highly SEO friendly but it needs some investment like Money. On the other hand Blogger is owned by Google and its a fact that we cant underestimate Google displays its Blogspot above in SERP’s. So its my request to you to choose your platform wisely from the above chart and get go. Note- Both platforms are the best in the world.
My Personal Advice
If you are a newbie kid and want to start blogging I suggest you to use Blogger and once your blog becomes popular migrate it to WordPress for more better results. And if you are an old Blogger and knows everything about blogging so its must for you to adopt WordPress now and have a great happy career!
That’s it!
