Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.8
GPA, above 12 of the 102 other email marketing and newsletter tools we grade
Newsletter Glue is a WordPress plugin that lets a team write newsletters in the WordPress block editor and send them to an email list while publishing the issue on the site. It can send through its own delivery engine or through an email service the customer already uses. Its Magic Glue feature builds a draft newsletter from recent posts.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Newsletter Glue, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It's a plugin you set up inside WordPress, then connect to its own sending or your email provider.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
