Substack built the modern newsletter category and has a thriving ecosystem. Writizzy is for creators who want full design control and flat, predictable pricing.
Both are solid choices. The right one depends on what matters most to you.
Substack charges nothing upfront but takes 10% of your revenue. Writizzy charges a flat monthly fee based on subscriber count, with no commission.
Adjust the sliders to match your situation. Platform fees and Stripe fees are both included.
You'd earn €5,910 more per year with Writizzy.
Writizzy uses annual billing (10 months charged, 2 free). Stripe fees estimated at 2.9% + €0.30/transaction. Writizzy's plan tier is based on total subscriber count (free + paid), which may be higher than paid subscribers alone.
