| Compare | Newsletter Glue | MailPoet |
|---|---|---|
| Verdict | Depends | Worth it |
| Best for | WordPress publishers and newsrooms | WordPress site owners |
| Who it's not for | Small creators . $120/mo annual is overkill | Non-WordPress sites . the plugin is useless there |
| Privacy | No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.⁵ | Multiple CVEs on record, including a 2014 flaw mass-exploited in the wild; patch promptly. |
| Support quality | No public support evidence found | Trustpilot 1.6/5; complaint threads on Reddit |
| Public sentiment | Public user feedback is sparse; one customer story reports doubled conversions and 10x traffic after migrating from Substack to WordPress.⁶ | Users praise the WordPress-native simplicity and price, but support and deliverability draw frequent complaints. |
| Biggest gotcha | Pricing changed multiple times: $149-$249/yr licenses, then $120/mo annual. Confirm current terms before buying.² | Support quality is the dominant Trustpilot complaint11 |
