Buttondown vs. TinyLetter

(If you haven't read the news already, TinyLetter is shutting down.)

TinyLetter's been around for a long time, but let's be honest — the tool has lots of bugs and is missing the features you need to easily create a great newsletter.

I feel comfortable saying that because I literally created Buttondown because I was fed up with TinyLetter. Simple tasks like cleaning up Markdown, checking links, resizing images, and making sure the email looked right was a huge hassle. It took me away from doing the fun part: writing a great newsletter.

Buttondown solves those pain points – and more.

Two frequent questions I'd love to answer:

1. Buttondown is a drop-in replacement for TinyLetter. Anything and everything you can do in TinyLetter, you can do in Buttondown.
2. While TinyLetter was free for your first five thousand subscribers, Buttondown is only free for your first hundred. I know this is a tough pill to swallow, but charging for the service allows me to keep the lights on and keep building a great product. If you're a non-profit or only send out emails a few times a year, you can email us for a significant discount.
