Hey! I just launched something I wish existed when I was researching newsletter platforms.
What it is: NewsletterStack – a directory where you can see what tech stacks successful newsletters actually use. Real examples of what platforms, tools, and strategies are working for newsletters in different niches.
Why I made this: I was tired of reading generic "Top 10 Newsletter Platforms" articles that never show real examples. I wanted to know: what does a newsletter with 50k subscribers actually use? How do they monetize? What tools are in their stack?
So I started curating case studies of successful newsletters and their complete tech setups.
Free tools included:
→ Newsletter Cost Calculator: Compare pricing across all major platforms (Beehiiv, Substack, Kit, Ghost, Buttondown, etc.) based on YOUR audience size. Super helpful if you're thinking about switching platforms or just starting out.
→ Email Authentication Checker: Quickly verify your SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records to make sure your emails are landing in inboxes, not spam folders.
What you'll find:
Real case studies of successful newsletters
Platform comparisons with actual pricing
Growth strategies and monetization methods
Tools and services they use
Tips and guides for newsletter creators
If you're running a newsletter or thinking about starting one, hope this helps you make better decisions.
