Pricing

We do not reprint prices. They change too often for that to be honest, and a number on our page with no date is worse than sending you to the source.

What it is

A newsletter platform with growth and money-making built in: referral programmes, a recommendation network between newsletters, paid subscriptions and an ad marketplace.

Who it is for

People whose newsletter is the business, or intends to be.

Where it is strongest

Growing a newsletter. The recommendation network genuinely brings subscribers, which is a harder problem than sending the email.

Where it falls short

Automation is thinner than Kit or ActiveCampaign. Migrating away is awkward once you depend on their growth features. And the ad marketplace only pays meaningfully at scale, so it is not the income it appears to be early on.

Our verdict

Recommended if the newsletter is the product. If email is a channel supporting something else, a general tool fits better.

Editorial assessment. We earn a commission on some links; it does not change the ranking.
