How to choose newsletter platforms for memberships & paid communities
Look for what happens on failed payments (dunning recovers 20-40% of churn on its own), whether members can pause instead of cancel, whether you own the member list if you leave, and the platform cut on top of card fees. Annual plans and a free tier that actually delivers something matter more than the feature list.
