You should be free to choose how to send your newsletters: using the mailing service of your hosting provider, an SMTP plugin or professional delivery services. The Newsletter plugin has no constraints!

We have optimised integrations with many delivery services to reach high reliability and performance.
Each integration is provided with bounces and complaints management, and an efficient HTTP REST API connection.

  • Amazon SES
  • Sendgrid
  • Postmark

GDPR

The Newsletter Plugin provides all the technical tools needed to achieve GDPR compliance, and we’re continuously working to improve them and to give support even for specific use cases.

We do not collect users’ own subscribers’ data, nor does it have any access to that data: hence, we are not a data processor, so a data processing agreement is not needed.

Anyway, if you configure the plugin to use external services (usually an external mail delivery service) you should check with that service if some sort of agreement is required.

Support

We provide support for our plugin on WordPress.org forums and through our official forum.

Premium Users with an active license have access to one-to-one support via our ticketing system.

Developers

We have a documentation section dedicated to those who want to develop with the Newsletter plugin.

You can find us on GitHub with some examples of addons.

Works great

fert March 8, 2026
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

PacificSailors February 22, 2026
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

Bettega January 30, 2026
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

dkoek December 14, 2025
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.
