Works great
by fert·3 weeks ago
It just works. Yes, it is a bit complex because it offers you lots of options. And yes, the newsletter editor could use a facelift. But keep in mind that most of the functionality of this beast comes for free. It is a fantastic plugin that does the job.
Does it all
by PacificSailors·1 month ago
I used to use MailChimp and found it too overwhelming with having to go back and forth between WP and MC. Not to mention I couldn’t have more than 1000 subs. Now it’s all in my WP. And easy to use!
Solid and reliable plugin – works well with S3
by Bettega·2 months ago
I’ve been using the free version of the Newsletter plugin and the experience has been consistently positive. The configuration process is straightforward, and the plugin provides a stable set of features without unnecessary overhead.
I also integrated it with Amazon S3, and the setup worked as expected, with no compatibility issues so far. For users looking for a dependable newsletter solution with clean integration options, this plugin is a practical choice. I recommend it for projects that need a lightweight and well‑maintained tool.
Well Built and Supported!

The Newsletter Plugin is one the most well built and supported Plugins I’ve ever used for WordPress. Highly recommended! It strikes a fantastic balance between power and ease of use.
Works great

Works great with a lot of free features. I use it for a small volunteers community. Only problem is how to get a free SMTP server which has nothing to do with the newsletter plugin.
