Best Newsletter and Email Tools for Creators 2026

Common questions

Can I move my list to another platform later?

Subscriber addresses export from anywhere worth using. What tends not to move cleanly is the archive, the automations and paid subscriptions, since a billing relationship has to be recreated person by person. Check the last of those before you start charging.

What actually decides whether email lands?

Sender reputation, which is built by people opening your mail and not reporting it. In practice that means confirming signups, removing addresses that never open, authenticating your domain and never buying a list. The platform matters less than the hygiene.

Should I charge for a newsletter?

Only once free issues are consistently read. Paid conversion runs on habit, and asking for money before the habit exists converts almost nobody while adding billing, tax and refund work to a project that was not ready for it.
