Track your Buttondown bills and renewals

Buttondown is newsletter software from a small, fully remote independent company, offering a rich-text or Markdown editor, sending from your own domain and hosted archives. Instead of bundling features into tiers, it prices by list size and lets writers switch on extras such as paid subscriptions, analytics, RSS-to-email, automations or team seats as separate monthly add-ons.
