Newsletter tool guides
These are my single-tool guides for solo creators. Each one covers who the tool fits, its free plan or trial, how paid plans scale with your list, the watch-outs, and a setup checklist, all sourced from the vendor’s own pages and dated. They’re research guides, not hands-on reviews, and there are no star ratings.
Beehiiv for creators
The free Launch plan, what Scale and Max cost by list size, paid subscriptions, podcasts and setup.
GuideMailerLite for newsletter creators
Free, Comfort and Power plans, how billing counts subscribers, paid newsletters and setup.
GuideGetResponse for newsletter creators
Free-account limits, list-size pricing, premium newsletters on the Creator plan, and setup.
GuideFlodesk for newsletter creators
Subscriber-based pricing, what the Free plan can’t do, paid newsletters via Checkout, and setup.
Not sure which tool to read about first?
Start with how to choose a newsletter tool for the decision framework, or the best tools shortlist to see who each tool fits. If you’re already down to two options, my comparisons put them side by side.
