Pricing overview

Calculated estimates: Annual examples use the published annual total before any rounded monthly equivalent.
Who it may suit
Editorial guidance: The following is a conditional interpretation of the published features.
- Newsletter-first publishers who want a hosted publishing stack and a free starting tier.
- Publishers evaluating Scale for Recommendations, a referral program, Email Automations, Digital Products, and three team seats.
- Organizations considering Max for unlimited seats, additional publications, dynamic content, and click-triggered automations.
Who should look elsewhere
Editorial guidance: Consider alternatives when these constraints are essential.
- Creators who require email automations or digital products but need to remain on the free plan.
- Buyers who need every higher-subscriber price available as a static, audit-friendly table.
- Teams that require unlimited seats but do not need or cannot justify the Max feature bundle.
Important feature limitations
- Launch does not list Email Automations or Digital Products; those appear on Scale.
- Scale lists three team seats; unlimited seats are listed on Max.
- The public subscriber selector includes an above-100,000 option that leads toward custom or separately verified pricing.
- Ad, subscription, recommendation, and payment-processing economics are outside the calculator’s software-cost estimate.
