Buttondown — Newsletter software for people like you
Buttondown is an email platform designed for sending newsletters, addressing the common frustrations creators face with platforms that change their pricing, add unwanted features, or shut down unexpectedly. It aims to be a stable, long-term solution that focuses on the core task of reaching an audience without unnecessary complexity.
The platform offers a range of features including paid subscriptions, automations, analytics, and a REST API. It provides tools for comments, surveys, and sponsorships, and supports sending from a custom domain. Buttondown integrates with numerous third-party services such as Stripe, Zapier, Discord, WordPress, and various social media and analytics platforms. It also offers a Markdown editor, RSS-to-email support, and the ability to send newsletters directly from a personal email account.
Buttondown is intended for both individual creators and larger teams. It offers a free plan for the first 100 subscribers. Beyond that, pricing is based on total subscriber count, with optional add-ons for features like tagging, paid subscriptions, automations, and team accounts. There are no per-seat charges for contributors.
