Your newsletters forever home

WordPress.com and Jetpack are both made by Automattic. WordPress.com hosts your website. Jetpack provides the newsletter functionality: sending emails to subscribers, managing paid subscriptions, and providing audience analytics.

When you create a newsletter on WordPress.com, you’re
using Jetpack Newsletter on a site hosted by WordPress.com. You don’t need to install or configure anything separately. Jetpack Newsletter is also available as a plugin for self-hosted WordPress.org sites.

Jetpack Newsletter is totally free, and is included on all plans. That includes unlimited organic subscribers and unlimited sends. Nice deal, right?

Paid subscribers have payment fees that decrease with each increasing plan tier. To see the pricing by plan, check out this support page.

Importing subscribers has a limit of 100 on the free plan to protect the platform from spam, and is unlimited with paid plans.

Yes, there are many ways you can monetize your newsletter and website. You can accept payments, donations, and tips as well as create paid subscriptions and gated content on any plan including Free. That means you can choose whether each post goes out to everyone or just your paid subscribers. With an upgraded plan, you can also choose to show ads, create an online store, and much more. Learn more about all the ways you can monetize your site. Payments are processed through Stripe and are limited to the countries where Stripe is currently supported.

If you already have a WordPress.com website, you can quickly set up newsletter subscriptions for your new content by adding a Subscribe Block or one of our Newsletter Subscription Patterns to your site. Readers who subscribe by adding their email address will be notified whenever you publish new posts. If you need a little more help getting set up, check out our support guide to get started. 

If youd rather make a fresh newsletter separate from your existing site you can get started with Jetpack Newsletter here.

Fees for payments are based on the WordPress.com or Jetpack plan you have and are calculated as a percentage of your revenue from 10% on the Free plan to 0% on the Commerce plan (plus Stripe fees). You can read more about fees by plan.

Yes, you can customize your newsletter emails by selecting a newsletter icon. Your newsletter landing page can be customized similarly to a regular page or post by using the WordPress.com block editor. 

When you publish a new post, the newsletter email is sent automatically by Jetpack. You can also schedule posts for a future date the newsletter email will be sent on the date and time your scheduled post goes live. Your subscribers can decide to receive an email each time you post, or to receive daily or weekly digests of all of your new posts. Jetpack will only send out notifications for new public posts. Making updates to an already published post will not send a newsletter email.

Yes, you can import individual email subscribers or batch import them using a CSV file. You can import unlimited subscribers on any paid plan, or up to 100 on the Free plan. You can also import subscribers directly from Substack with our handy import tool.

Absolutely! You are always in control of your content and list of subscribers. If you ever decide to move your website or newsletter, you can migrate your content and export a list of your subscribers.

With Jetpack Newsletter, WordPress.com offers unlimited subscribers on every plan (including free), a built-in audience network, and flat pricing that doesn’t increase as you grow. See how WordPress.com compares to Substack, Ghost and Beehiiv for newsletters.
