Newsletter platforms: vendors compared on published prices

Vendors with an evidenced Newsletter platforms product

A vendor appears here when its own live page for Newsletter platforms answered at the linked URL on the date shown. Prices in the table are each vendor's published entry plan and next tier per month, and the platform's own cut on the entry plan; promotional pricing and annual-billing discounts change what you pay on the day.

Choosing a newsletter platform

Decide the model first. Divide a flat plan by a percentage cut to find the monthly subscription billing at which they cost the same; pick the model for the side of that line you expect to be on within a year, because a paid list is the migration subscribers notice.

Check that paid subscriptions are on the entry plan. On some vendors they are native; on others they are an add-on or a higher tier, and the vendor's own page, linked beside each price, says which.

Card processing is on top of every cut. A platform advertising 0% is quoting its own share; Stripe's fee still applies, and the vendor's page usually says so in the same breath.

Common questions

Which newsletter platform is cheapest?

At small paid billing, a platform that charges no plan and takes a cut; past the crossover, a flat plan with no cut. The table above has both models' published figures so you can find the crossover for your own numbers.

Do newsletter platforms take a cut of paid subscriptions?

Some do, as a percentage printed on their pricing page; others state that they take none and charge a monthly plan instead. Both figures are quoted in the table with the retrieval date.

Can I sell a course from a newsletter platform?

Several vendors here sell digital products or courses beside the newsletter; whether that is on the entry plan is on the vendor's page. If the course is the main product, the online course platforms page is the better comparison.
