Oh God, It's Raining Newsletters - by Craig Mod

Substack

I worry about the defensibility of their platform though. And suspect MailChimp and the other biggies are getting ready to roll out subscription options sooner than later. That said, although Substack isn’t offering, for example, substantially more beautiful templates than the competition, they do have an increasingly strong, and well-respected brand. I imagine they’ll be an acquisition target sooner than later. ↩︎

Buttondown

Buttondown is a (somewhat) recently launched NAAS built by a very engaged developer, beautifully designed, that looks like it might be the new TinyLetter. Subscription integrations forthcoming (eating into Substack territory?). This is probably where I’d start if I were starting a public newsletter today.

Memberful

Memberful is a generalized subscription service, but it integrates with most major NAASes, thereby allowing one to roll their own paid newsletter with a bit more flexibility, as Ben Thompson has done to much success with Stratechery. My own Explorers Club membershp program and its attendant Inside Explorers private newsletter is powered by Memberful as well.
