MailPoet
A WordPress newsletter plugin that sends directly from your site without needing a separate ESP account.
PodStack editorial · Product research. How we review tools
MailPoet is a WordPress plugin that handles both the newsletter design and the actual sending, using MailPoet's own sending infrastructure rather than requiring you to connect a separate email service provider.
For a podcast running its site on WordPress, this means one less account to manage. Write a newsletter using WordPress content, design it with included templates, and send straight from the dashboard.
As your list grows, free tier sending limits become a factor, and larger lists need a paid plan to keep deliverability solid, which is standard but worth planning for as subscriber counts climb.
A sensible, low friction choice for WordPress podcast sites that want to avoid juggling a separate email platform for something reasonably simple.
