Features
Everything to run your newsletter. A network to grow it.
Send from Commune, or keep sending from Kit, Ghost, Beehiiv, Substack and more. Either way, every post joins an open network of newsletter communities. Here is everything that's included, and what's coming next.
Run it
Send and automate
Write it, send it, and let it run.
Broadcasts
Write in a rich editor and send to your whole list. The same issue becomes a public post with a conversation under it.
Scheduling
Pick a date and a time, and Commune sends it then.
Send to a tag
Tag your subscribers and send an issue only to the tags you choose. Those issues stay off your public archive.
Test copies
Send a test to up to five addresses, rendered exactly like the real thing.
Merge tags
Personalize every email with Liquid tags, like a subscriber's name with a fallback for when there isn't one.
Automations
Sequences that start on an event, like a new subscriber or a clicked link, with waits, tags and if/else branches. Describe one to your agent or build it with the API.
Checks before every send
Commune stops a send that is missing its unsubscribe link or your postal address, and flags broken images before a reader sees them.
Deliverability
One-click unsubscribe on every email. Bounces and spam reports drop that address from later sends, and sending pauses if either climbs too high.
Sending is the Creator plan: €9 a month for up to 1,000 subscribers, plus €3 for every extra 1,000. It starts with a 14-day free trial, no card, that sends to up to 50 people a day. Without a plan, one automation can be active at a time.
Your domain, your website
Your domain in the address bar and the from line.
Your sending domain
Send from an address on your own domain once you add the DNS records Commune shows you. Until then, Commune sets up an address on fromcommune.com for you.
Your website domain
Point a subdomain you own, like news.example.com, at your newsletter. It costs nothing extra, on any plan.
A hosted home
A public page for your newsletter, with its archive, a subscribe button and a conversation under every post.
A website of your own
Describe the site you want to your AI agent and it writes the pages in plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Commune hosts them on your domain or on communepages.com.
Landing pages
Add a page at any path, like an about page or one for a launch. Each starts as a draft with a private preview link, and goes live when you say so.
Your posts on your site
One script tag, commune.js, fills your pages with your posts and a subscribe button.
Website domains are subdomains. A bare domain like example.com isn't supported.
API and MCP server
Run your newsletter from your agent.
An MCP server
Tools shaped like the questions you'd ask: draft an article, schedule it, send a test copy, find your superfans, see who's drifting away.
A public REST API
Articles, subscribers, tags, sends, automations, your website and more, with a full reference and a changelog.
Webhooks
Events like a new subscriber or a sent issue, delivered to your own endpoint, signed and retried.
Access you choose
Connect an agent with OAuth and pick which newsletters and permissions it gets, or use an API key in your own code.
Everything is documented at usecommune.dev, with guides and use cases.

Start with everything you've already written.
Your archive
Pick the past posts to bring over from Kit, Beehiiv, Ghost, MailerLite, Buttondown, Mailchimp or MailCheap. From Substack or any blog, Commune reads its RSS feed.
New posts, by themselves
Once it's set up, every issue you send from there shows up on Commune by itself, with a conversation under it.
Keep sending where you are
Connecting is free. With Kit, Beehiiv, Ghost, MailerLite, Buttondown, Mailchimp and MailCheap, readers who subscribe on Commune are added to your list there.
Your subscribers, when you move
Switch your sending to Commune and your list comes over from Kit, Beehiiv, Ghost, MailerLite, Buttondown or Mailchimp. From Substack, upload the CSV it exports.
Commune doesn't run paid subscriptions yet, so paying subscribers can't move over as paying. Want a hand with the move? Write to support@usecommune.com.
Monetize
SoonGet paid next to your posts.
Paid subscriptions
Charge for your newsletter from the same place you write and send it.
Products
Sell what you make right next to your posts, including the ones you wrote years ago.
Grow it
The network
Every newsletter here sends readers to the others.
Commune is also an open network of newsletter communities. Your posts sit in the same feed as other independent newsletters, and it works the same wherever you send from: Commune, Kit, Ghost, Beehiiv, MailerLite, Buttondown, Mailchimp, MailCheap or Substack.
How a reader of another newsletter becomes your subscriber:
Step 1
A reader comes to Commune for another newsletter.
Step 2
Your latest post is right there in the same feed.
Step 3
One click, and they're your subscriber.
Every newsletter here sends readers to the others, yours included. The more it grows, the more it sends.
A conversation under every post
Readers reply, react and talk to each other right under the post, not in a separate app.
One-click subscribe
Signed-in readers subscribe from the feed without leaving it.
Discover
Rising newsletters, the most discussed posts, hidden gems and editor picks, for readers looking for their next read.
Know your readers
See who's engaged, who's drifting away, your superfans, and where new subscribers come from.
