How we rank

Every one of these newsletter platforms is scored on the same 8 weighted criteria (scorecard v2), from the vendor's published data. 27 of the 35 listed have enough verified data to be ranked; a tool with under 60% of the weight covered is listed but not ranked. Nobody gets custom weights, including our own products.

Every criterion and score Methodology

Heaviest criteria

Entry price · Core25%
Price per month of the cheapest paid plan, against the prices of other newsletter platforms on the same billing basis (monthly-billed prices against monthly, annual-billed against annual).
Free plan or trial · Core15%
Whether you can use the tool before paying: a free plan, or failing that a free trial, as shown on the vendor's pricing page.
Verified features · Core15%
How many of the 9 features we track for this category the vendor's own pages verifiably show (paid subscriptions, automations / sequences, custom domain, referral programme, a/b testing, landing pages and forms, segmentation and tags, newsletter website, open and click analytics). This counts verified features only: a tool that documents less scores lower here, and only here.
Pricing transparency · Core10%
How much of the pricing is public: the share of plans with a published price ("contact sales" counts against), and whether there are at least 3 published tiers.
API, integrations and export · Core10%
Whether a public API exists, how many integrations the vendor states, and whether the vendor documents a way to export your data.
