The whole publishing toolkit
Included from your first post.
The free allowance includes the blog and newsletter tools. The price grows with email volume.
A home for your writing
A hosted publication at a GoodSender-provided blog address or on your own domain: fast pages, clean URLs, sitemaps, RSS, full meta control.
Write at your own pace
A rich editor with portable markdown, autosave, scheduling, reader previews, and test emails.
AI on your terms
AI blog design, plus MCP, CLI, and Skills for your own assistant.
Grow a willing audience
Subscribe forms, popups, a hosted subscribe page, and bulk subscriber import with enforced double opt-in.
Understand your readers
Subscriber growth, email opens, clicks, and top posts. Engagement scoring, re-permission, and automatic suppression.
One email engine
Transactional email on the same engine: receipts, password resets, and alerts.
A few useful details
Use a GoodSender-provided blog address or connect a domain or subdomain you control. The certificate is included; configure your newsletter sender separately. Bring your own web analytics tag if you want page-view tracking.
Quiet readers are asked to re-confirm after 120 days. Unsubscribes and complaints suppress automatically; quiet imported subscribers get a re-opt-in before sending.
Your full post lives on the web. The newsletter carries a subject, summary, and link to read it. You choose whether to send it and which other destinations to use.
Posts use markdown. Bulk subscriber import is supported; a bulk post importer is not available yet.

What it replaces
The stack you don't have to buy
Running this yourself means buying a place to publish, a sender priced on the size of your list, and a forms tool, then keeping the three wired together. Here is that bill at 10,000 subscribers publishing weekly.
- Hosted blog or CMS
- $25 to $200
- Email service provider
- $100 to $150
- Subscribe forms and popups
- $0 to $40
- Wiring it together and keeping it wired
- your afternoons
- Assembled yourself
- $125 to $390 a month
- GoodSender
- free
You bring your own domain either way, and your own web analytics tag, so neither column counts them. The certificate is on us.
Category figures are illustrative and change often. Your cost with us is based on what you send.
Pricing questions
How much does it cost?
GoodSender is free for up to 100,000 emails each month. The next tier is $10 a month for up to 1,000,000 emails, then $10 for each additional million. Pricing is based on email volume, not subscriber count. See the pricing page for the current bands and the details included with your account.
How is this different from Ghost?
Ghost and GoodSender take different approaches. GoodSender brings a blog, newsletter, and sending workflow together for businesses that publish under their own voice. It uses send-based pricing rather than per-subscriber pricing and does not require self-hosting. If paid subscriptions, paywalls, or ads are your core business, choose the product that fits that publication model.
Can I send my product's transactional email here too?
Yes, over the same API. Receipts, password resets, and alerts go out on the same engine and the same sending reputation as your newsletter, from a catalog of ready templates you can brand with your own colors. Transactional mail is not marketing, so it does not run through the subscribe flow. It is one vendor and one integration instead of two.
