## Key features

- **Write in the WordPress editor:** Build each newsletter with WordPress blocks, in the same editor used for articles.
- **Template builder:** Design newsletter templates from blocks, add custom CSS, post embeds and custom HTML such as ad-network code.
- **Magic Glue:** Creates a draft newsletter from your latest posts, with subject line, preview text and intro, included on both plans.
- **Send to inboxes and the site:** Each issue goes to the chosen list or segment and is published to a searchable archive on your site.
- **Email service connections:** Connect an existing provider once and send to its lists and segments, or send through Newsletter Glue's own engine on the cheaper plan.
- **Automated newsletters:** Both plans list automated newsletters; the Connect plan can also save drafts as templates for drip automation in your provider.

## Good for

- Publishers and newsrooms that already produce content in WordPress
- Teams that want to keep their existing email service and lists

## Worth knowing

- It runs only inside WordPress; it is not a standalone product.
- There is no free plan or trial, only a 14-day money-back guarantee.
- The built-in sending plan is priced by monthly sends, rising to $1,499 a month, billed yearly, at 5,000,000 sends.
- Each plan covers 1 site; the classic WordPress editor is not officially supported and the pro blocks need the block editor.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 1.8 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: C.** $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.
- **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan and no trial. There's a 14-day money-back guarantee, but that's a refund, not a free go.
- **Features: C.** Block-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.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. It's a plugin you set up inside WordPress, then connect to its own sending or your email provider.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Works 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 it, 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.

- You could make: Templates: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Mailchimp, Kit and ActiveCampaign among them.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
