Best for sending newsletters from a WordPress site
Newsletter Glue lets you write each issue in the WordPress block editor and send it from the same site. It only runs inside WordPress, there's no free plan or trial, and the $24 a month starting price covers one site.
Who Newsletter Glue is for
- Fits if your newsletter lives on a WordPress site and you'd rather not copy issues into another tool
- Works for publishers who already send through Mailchimp or Brevo and want to write in WordPress instead
Who Newsletter Glue is not for
- Skip it if you don't run WordPress, since it isn't a standalone product
- Tight if you want to try before paying: no free plan or trial, only a 14-day refund
- Pricey if you want to keep your own email provider, as Connect is $99 a month on yearly billing
- Watch out: each plan covers 1 site, and sending plans climb to $1,499 a month at 5,000,000 sends
- Watch out: the classic WordPress editor isn't officially supported
Why Newsletter Glue gets a 1.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for money$24 a month on yearly billing for up to 25,000 sends, $29 if you pay monthly. Email marketing tools start around $10 and the middle is $20, so this sits in the ordinary range.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan and no trial. There's a 14-day money-back guarantee, but that's a refund, not a free go.
- CFeaturesBlock-editor newsletters, a template builder, automated newsletters and a draft builder called Magic Glue. The listing says it runs only in WordPress, covers 1 site per plan, and the pro blocks need the block editor.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. It's a plugin you set up inside WordPress, then connect to its own sending or your email provider.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWorks inside WordPress and connects to 21 email providers on the Connect plan, including Mailchimp, Kit, Brevo and HubSpot. No standalone app and no phone app.

Keep Newsletter Glue, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Newsletter Glue 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. It costs $288 a year.
What you could make
- Templates: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- It plugs into other products, Mailchimp, Kit and ActiveCampaign among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Newsletter Glue’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.
