Best for newsletter teams running several publications
Letterhead is an email platform for teams that run several newsletters, with curation, team editing, automation and a portfolio view. No prices are published, pricing comes after a demo, and some integrations are Enterprise only.
Who Letterhead is for
- Fits if a team runs several newsletters and wants one view of them
- Makes sense if you want shared editing and goals across publications
Who Letterhead is not for
- Not for you if you want a price, as pricing comes after a demo
- Skip it if you want to try it free, since no plan or trial is stated
- Too light, or too heavy, for one-person lists, as it's built for teams
- Watch out: with more than 10 publications and a million subscribers you're pointed to Enterprise, and Braze is Enterprise only

Keep Letterhead, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Letterhead you would be making newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 78 of the 102 other email marketing and newsletter tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- Splitting visitors between versions and telling you which won.
- It plugs into other products, Braze, Zapier and WordPress among them, and has an API.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. Letterhead’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
