However, it is necessary to know how to work with this format. Nothing that requesting changes from ChatGPT can't solve. > > In addition to being easy to use, the company provides personalized support: the team quickly responds to any email you send them, making the experience of using the service as close to being served by someone at the counter of a store with years of tradition as possible, rather than the cold service of a mega corporation. Those who like to be well served will love Buttondown. ----- ### "A robust, non-fancy email newsletter tool for Indie creators - with only the features I need" — 5.0/5 > **Alexander** | *6 September 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The customer support is helpful, friendly, fast and actually willing to help me solve each problem I'm facing. The editor supports Markdown and feels well-developed for plain-text emails :) > > **Cons**: I cannot stay logged in after my initial login. It might be a Safari problem because I have experienced issues like these with Safari too. So it might be a cookie-setting issue or so, not sure. And there was incidence in August where emails were stuck in the "Draft" status and I didn’t know why. So I contacted the customer support, they apologized and explained what was going on, see → \[sensitive content hidden\] - it was basically bug fix that was rolled out in the afternoon but introduced a new bug, and because this change was made on the weekend (and the support operates Monday-Friday), they didn’t notice customers flagging the issue to support until the evening. So, in less than 1 hour the issue was resolved, which I find to be a reasonable time. > > My 2,5 years with Buttondown has been great overall\! I sent my first Buttondown-powered email on March 25, 2023 I upgraded to the Basic plan $9/mo on Oct 10, 2024 so I can send from a custom domain I upgraded to the Standard plan $29/mo on Feb 5, 2025 so I can host my archive on a custom domain and I can access automations I’m happy where I am right now ----- ### "Work in progress" — 3.0/5 > **Vincent** | *16 April 2025* | Wine & Spirits | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The price is good. Most of the features you are looking for are there. > > **Cons**: Lake of flexibility regarding how you can setup things. I used to work with Mailchimp which for me, is the best. It sometimes feels like it's incomplete. > > I've had to spend a lot of time to understand how to configure the whole thing. It's not as intuitive as Mailchimp. ----- ### "An excellent newsletter service" — 5.0/5 > **Dusty** | *25 January 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Simple and powerful, a rare combination. Interface stays out of the way. Free tier is generous. I recently bumped to the paid tier and felt I was getting excellent value. As a developer, I particularly like how easy the subscribe form is to set up and customize. The competitors all tried to do something dumb with an Iframe and it didn’t integrate well with my sites. In a world where social media is trying to control the message as well as the means, it is vital to have a direct way to contact those interested in my work. > > **Cons**: Sometimes I think I’ve sent a message but it’s actually still in draft. The ui occasionally glitches on Safari. > > Have been using the service for two newsletters for about a year. It is always a “friendly and delightful” experience. The developers care and it shows. ----- ### "Great for beginners and people starting to write." — 5.0/5 > **Kolawole** | *26 May 2025* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like many things about the product, but it is the first email newsletter tool. I've used some in the past, but I can say that: - Buttondown provides the best experience because of simplicity over complex features. - The tool job is to help you craft emails and send them, it does it best. - The tool has quite a lot of features for customization. > > **Cons**: The pricing when scaling is a little bit obscure, but understandable after a lot of reading. This is a tool I'll recommend if you are starting to write. The starting plan is also very reasonable, so with less 100$, you can secure one year to work on your growth and content. > > Buttondown is a solid choice if you’re starting a newsletter. The pricing at scale takes a bit of reading to understand, but it’s fair. For under $100, you can cover a year and focus on writing. It’s the best email tool I’ve used so far. Simple, focused, and does the job well without unnecessary features. Customization is solid, and the writing experience is smooth. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/1048638/buttondown?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/1048638/buttondown) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
