## Reviews

### "Work in progress" — 3.0/5

> **Vincent** | *April 16, 2025* | Wine & Spirits | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The price is good. Most of the features you are looking for are there.
> 
> **Cons**: Lake of flexibility regarding how you can setup things. I used to work with Mailchimp which for me, is the best. It sometimes feels like it's incomplete.
> 
> I've had to spend a lot of time to understand how to configure the whole thing. It's not as intuitive as Mailchimp.

### "An excellent newsletter service" — 5.0/5

> **Dusty** | *January 25, 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Simple and powerful, a rare combination. Interface stays out of the way. Free tier is generous. I recently bumped to the paid tier and felt I was getting excellent value.

As a developer, I particularly like how easy the subscribe form is to set up and customize. The competitors all tried to do something dumb with an Iframe and it didn’t integrate well with my sites. In a world where social media is trying to control the message as well as the means, it is vital to have a direct way to contact those interested in my work.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes I think I’ve sent a message but it’s actually still in draft. The ui occasionally glitches on Safari.
> 
> Have been using the service for two newsletters for about a year. It is always a “friendly and delightful” experience. The developers care and it shows.

### "First impressions of Buttondown" — 5.0/5

> **Sophie** | *April 6, 2025* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the simplicity of the interface and how easy it is to use. It feels intuitive, and it does everything I need it to do without overcomplicating things.
> 
> **Cons**: I wish I could customize the emails a bit better, but it might just be because I am not good at coding.
> 
> I am very satisfied with my experience with Buttondown; I find it useful and it makes sending my weekly newsletter an efficient and enjoyable experience.

### "A simple yet delightful email newsletter experience" — 5.0/5

> **Aderson** | *August 15, 2024* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is very simple to use. Very driven to one goal only: to create newsletters as fast as possible.
> 
> **Cons**: I think I would like it to have some basic layout templates that I could use out-of-the-box.
> 
> I have been using Buttondown for almost 2 years now and it has been a great experience. They are very welcoming about suggestions for features and act very quickly when we report a problem. It has been a delight to use the product. Price is way more affordable than its big name competitors, and it is way more straightforward to use it as compared to competitors as well. Highly recommend it\!

### "Buttondown Makes Sending Newsletters Easy" — 5.0/5

> **Steph** | *May 19, 2024* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I've just begun to build my email list, and Buttondown makes it incredibly easy to add subscribers, prepare, and send each "campaign." I look forward to exploring more features in the days ahead.
> 
> **Cons**: It can be challenging to add graphics to the newsletter, but it's easy to figure out with practice and a little patience.
I would like a way to select fonts and a means of centering the text, but, so far, I haven't discovered how to do so.
> 
> I am very pleased with Buttondown and look forward to growing my email list with their help.
