AWeber
AWeber is a long-running email platform that still holds up as a reliable, no-drama choice for a podcast list.
PodStack editorial · Product research. How we review tools
AWeber has been in the email space for decades and it shows in the stability of its delivery and the maturity of its automation builder. It covers the basics well, sign-up forms, autoresponders, and list segmentation.
For a podcast running a simple new-episode notification list, AWeber does the job without much fuss, and the free tier is enough to test the waters with a small list.
The interface feels a bit dated compared to newer competitors like Flodesk or Kit, but the functionality underneath is solid and rarely breaks.
If you outgrow the free tier, pricing scales with subscriber count, so check where your list size will land you before assuming the low starting price applies forever.
