For creators

Email’s been in a weird place lately. We all know it’s essential, especially as more people rely on email to stay informed. But it’s become less certain of which email provider to go with, because of so many changes in the industry.

We help you make money from your newsletter, and we want you to keep all of it. Our business succeeds when you do. And our creator-friendly tools are used by tens of thousands of people every month.

My favorite part is the ability to let readers set their own price for an optional subscription. I don't want to play games with my readers, offering coupons and discounts, so I love that they can choose their own price, and adjust any time.

For businesses

You need an email provider that delivers the features you expect, saves you money, and won’t turn into something you don’t need.

Our roadmap is geared for the long haul. We chat with our customers all the time to make sure we’re always building something that meets their needs. And we’re committed to making the best email solution for your needs, no matter your size.

Despite sounding cliché, I hold a strong belief in the importance of owning your content, a sentiment echoed in the challenges faced when migrating from platforms like Substack. Their network is essentially their product, monetized in a way that complicates leaving, especially when payments are involved.
