A short while before launching this product, I started my founder's newsletter. Thanks to the Substack app, all I have to focus on is creating amazing content, don't have to focus on complex technical setups. Newsletter helped me get the first users & collect feedback for my app.

Love me some Substack! I started one in 2021 as a writer, then was more of a reader, and then returned in 2025 to write again. I LOVE the mobile app experience and have discovered a supportive community of creatives. I would say that Substack is the first and last app I use each day. The Notes section always has engaging content that I'm interested in. I've been steadily growing my audience and even became a Rising creator in my category at one point. I highly recommend this platform for any creator that wants to build a community around their content and monetize in addition to a traditional website.

+ mobile app experience (1)+ supportive community (1)+ content discovery (1)+ audience growth tools (1)+ monetization options (1)

I use Substack to follow writers I admire and get fresh content straight to my inbox. It’s easy to navigate and offers thoughtful, well-written newsletters that I look forward to. Substack has become my favorite way to stay informed and enjoy quality writing every week.

I use Substack for my newsletter. I like the easy setup, no upfront cost (until I have paid subscribers), and the podcast feature. I considered Beehiiv and ConvertKit before. While each has its pros and cons, I decided to go with Substack because of its easy ramp-up.

Without Substack, I wouldn't have a blog. It is perfect for blog networking, building an audience you can take anywhere, building up paid memberships...perfect for my AI Tools Blog. It works amazingly for everything I have envisioned.

For the simplicity and ease. I didn’t need the complex features of Mailchimp and was tired of paying hundreds per month.

I use this platform to publish the weekly newsletter. I don't have to worry about design or deliverability.

(I'd give it 3.5 stars)

Great design, ease of use, plus tools to assist writers. They do an excellent job with all of these. They also have a fairly strong community in terms of providing assistance with tools or design updates.

I do not like that they only use Stripe. Very huge downside, as Stripe has been disrupting businesses. Until they move away from only using one payment processor, this will be a major drawback of using them.

This app is excellent. However, since Stripe does not support Indonesia, I am unable to fully utilize it for monetizing my content. I hope there will be an alternative payment method for creators.

Creators are great.. the ecology or management are greedy and disdainful of readers. Will NOT refund an automatic repayment or unauthroized payment, take a whopping 10% from subscriptions and their "support" will treat you like trash.. you are beneath these "elites.".. the polar opposite of what the platform is meant to stand for...
