Newsletter
A mailing list built into your site: sign-up form, double opt-in, plain-text emails with replies to you, a consent record you can export, and no open tracking.
Write to the people who asked to hear from you, from the site they signed up on. A sign-up form for your pages, confirmation by email, plain-text emails with replies to an address you have confirmed, and a record of who agreed and when. No open pixels, no rewritten links, no third-party scripts.
Free on every site
- Up to 100 contacts and 4 emails in any 30 days
- A sign-up widget or a plain HTML form, both with double opt-in
- Import people who already agreed, with their consent date; every skipped row explained
- Plain-text emails with
{{first_name}},{{last_name}}and{{company}} - Preview to yourself or a collaborator before sending
- An unsubscribe link and the mail-app unsubscribe headers on every email
- Bounces and spam reports handled for you; a bad list is stopped before it harms your name
- Export of every contact with their status and dates: your consent record
- No tracking of opens or clicks, so your readers’ addresses are used for nothing else
