Newsletter Businesses
Run it like the business it is.
Several titles, a paid tier on each, a team behind them, and a cost line that does not grow faster than the list does.
“At our size, per-subscriber pricing is the whole problem.”
Agreed, which is why we stop charging for it. Connect your own sending provider — Amazon SES costs roughly ten cents per thousand emails — and your subscriber count stops being metered here at all. Nobody else offers this, because sending margin is the business they are in.
Your list size stops being the price
Bring your own sending provider and subscriber limits lift. Send volume becomes a line on your own infrastructure bill, at cost, instead of a tier on ours.
Several titles under one roof
Run multiple newsletters and multiple sites, each with its own list, sender identity and paid tiers, without spinning up a separate subscription for each.
Revenue you can actually see
Recurring revenue, member growth, churn, and which sources actually bring paying subscribers — reported per title rather than pooled into one number.
Nothing skimmed off the top
0% platform fee on every paid plan. At scale that is the difference between a percentage that grows forever and a subscription that does not.
The numbers, reported per title.
