Fees on paid-subscription revenue

  • Revenue share: none (0%)UNVERIFIED: Buttondown is believed to take 0% on paid subscriptions (monetization is a +$9/mo add-on instead) — confirm before publishing.
  • Payment processing: Stripe, 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction

Fine print that changes the math

  • NEEDS VERIFICATION: pricing page hides per-subscriber-count rates behind an interactive widget; paid-tier brackets must come from the scraper before this platform appears in any comparison.
  • Most features are à-la-carte add-ons (+$9/mo each; automations/custom-domain-archives +$29/mo; whitelabel/teams +$79/mo) — naive base-price comparisons understate real cost.
  • Pricing assumes at most one email per day to the full list.
