Recently i came across an article claiming free sub domains like blogspot,tumbler, wordpress etc are not ranked well in SERP & top domains are ranked better. Is it true?

suppose there are 2 posts, say xyz.com/1.html & xyz.blogspot.com/1.html
Does Google differentiates between them or it sticks to the quality content.

That article is incorrect in its assertion. It's not the fact that those blogs are on subdomains that causes them not to rank well. It's their low quality content. There are plenty of blogs on those sites that do rank well and it is because they have good content.

FYI, having a domain name containing keywords would help those sites rank better but so would choosing a good subdomain/account name for their third party hosted blogs. In other words a site about jokes would be better off using jokes.tumblr.com than britneyspears.tumblr.com.
