Write a newsletter. Send it. Get paid.
Pub gives you a page at usepub.com/@you, a plain editor, a subscribe box, and a way to charge for it that puts the money in your own Stripe account.
Free to use. Once a paid newsletter brings in $1,000 a month, Pub keeps 2% of what readers pay. Nothing before that, nothing else.
Written by people
Every post on Pub is written by a person. If an AI said something worth showing, it is quoted and labeled, like any other source. How it works.
1. Make a publication
Pick a name and a handle. Your page is at usepub.com/@handle, with an about page, an archive and an RSS feed.
2. Write and publish
A clean editor, or Markdown if you prefer. Preview, publish to the web, and email it to your subscribers in the same step, or not.
3. Charge for it, or don't
Connect your Stripe account, set a monthly and a yearly price, and mark any post as for paid subscribers. Readers pay you directly.
What you get
Written by people
Every post is written by a person, and any AI text inside is quoted and labeled.
Your readers are yours
Export your list as CSV any time. Paid subscriptions live in your Stripe account, not ours, so they come with you if you leave.
Email that lands
Every newsletter has one-click unsubscribe, proper authentication, and bounce handling. Sign-ups are confirmed by email before anything is sent.
A paywall that works by email
A paid post shows a preview on the web. Paid subscribers get the whole thing in their inbox, with a link that opens the full post for them.
No tracking pixels
Pub doesn't track opens or clicks. You see who subscribed and what was sent.
An editor that stays out of the way
Headings, links, images, quotes, lists, code, and a paywall line. Markdown underneath, one click away if you want it. Nothing to learn and nothing to fight.
Simple pricing
Free newsletters are free. Paid ones are free too until they bring in $1,000 a month; after that Pub takes 2% and Stripe takes its usual fee. There's no monthly plan to pick.
Moving from Substack
Connect the same Stripe account and your paid readers come with you, still paying as before, never charged our fee. Upload your export for your posts and the rest of your list. See the help page for the steps.
