Newsletter, the best alternatives to Substack for those who want to start

Revue is owned of Twitter, and by activating the service, a large “newsletter” section will be added to your profile on the social network. While it’s understandable that an author might have some skepticism towards Twitter as a company, for those with a large following on the platform, integration could prove beneficial. Revue provides a tutorial for migrating from other platformsincluding Substack, but does not offer any kind of specialized service or tool to make the switch.

The service charges a 5 percent commission on all premium subscriptions, which increases as your newsletter grows. It’s certainly less attractive when compared to fixed-rate services, but Revue still deserves a mention since it costs half as much as Substack.

Substack and migration

Substack has raised over $ 82 million in venture capital, which means some very wealthy investors are expecting massive growth from the company. If you work in the information industry or have paid attention to the past twenty years of online publishing history, you may have gods doubts that such an environment could be financially advantageous for a user in the long run.

To break a lance in favor of Substack, it must be said that at the moment migrating your newsletter from their platform to other services is relatively easy. The hope is that things will stay this way, but if you are afraid the situation may change, the advice is to migrate your newsletter as soon as possible.
