Jetpack’s fees are taken from its public pricing and newsletter pages in November 2026 and may change. Payment processing fees (such as Stripe’s) apply to paid subscriptions on both.

Why publishers switch

Newsletters that come from your website

Write it like a blog post

Build each issue in the WordPress block editor, with blocks made for newsletters.

Magic Glue does the first draft

Turn your latest posts into a ready-to-send newsletter in under a minute, then edit anything.

Every issue lives on your site

Newsletters publish as posts on your own domain, so readers and search engines can find them.

Which one fits?

Choose Jetpack Newsletter if:

  • You want a free, simple way to email each new post to subscribers.
  • You already use Jetpack and want everything in one plugin.
  • Your paid newsletter is small, and a 2–10% fee is fine.

Choose Newsletter Glue if:

  • You want newsletters designed as their own issues, not just copies of posts.
  • You want to send through the email provider you already use, or ours.
  • You want to keep all of your paid subscription revenue.

Questions people ask

Which costs less, Jetpack Newsletter or Newsletter Glue?

Jetpack Newsletter is free, and keeps 10% of paid subscriptions on its free plan, or 2% on the paid Pro and Complete plans. Newsletter Glue starts at $24 a month billed yearly and takes no cut.

What is the difference if both run in WordPress?

Jetpack Newsletter sends your posts by email. Newsletter Glue gives you a separate newsletter editor with templates, builds an issue from your posts with Magic Glue, and lets you choose who sends it: your own email provider or Newsletter Glue.

Can I bring my subscribers from Jetpack?

Yes. Export your subscribers from Jetpack as a CSV file. If you send with Newsletter Glue, import the file in WordPress (how to import subscribers). If you use Newsletter Glue Connect, import it into your email provider.

Can I charge for my newsletter?

Yes. When you send with Newsletter Glue, you can send some newsletters only to paid subscribers (how it works). Newsletter Glue doesn’t take payments itself: your payment system, such as Stripe or a WordPress membership plugin, marks who has paid, and Newsletter Glue never takes a cut.
