Your newsletter,
your infrastructure
A Substack alternative you actually own. Hosted subscribe pages, custom domains, paid subscriptions, archive pages, RSS — all backed by the Posthawk sending setup you already trust for transactional email.
Substack takes 10%.
Posthawk takes zero.
We charge a flat monthly fee for your Posthawk workspace — same as you already pay for transactional email. Paid subscriber revenue flows through your Stripe account, minus Stripe's processing fee. No platform cut.
Ship an issue,
not a platform
Create a newsletter
Name it, pick a slug, add your logo and description. Posthawk spins up a public subscribe page instantly.
Share your page
Send readers to posthawk.dev/n/yourname or wire it up to your own custom domain. Subscribers sign up with just an email.
Write an issue
Compose issues in React Email — the same templating you already use for transactional. Preview it, send it.
Grow paid subscribers
Turn on paid tiers via Stripe. Free subscribers see free issues, paid subscribers unlock premium ones. Posthawk enforces the gate.
Custom Domains
Run your newsletter at newsletter.yourbrand.com instead of a Posthawk subdomain. SSL is handled for you.
Paid Subscriptions
Stripe-powered paid tiers with monthly, annual, and founding-member pricing. Posthawk manages access, you keep ~95% of revenue.
Public Archive
Every issue is also a public web page — good for SEO and sharing. Paid issues show a preview with an upgrade CTA.
RSS Feed
Automatic RSS feed per newsletter. Your readers pipe it into their reader of choice, and search engines index it.
React Email Templates
Your newsletter uses the same template system as your transactional emails. Consistent branding, zero duplication.
Built-in Analytics
Open rate, click rate, subscriber growth, unsubscribe reasons, and revenue all in one dashboard. No Substack dashboard envy.
