Pricing on other platforms punishes growth. Ours doesn't.
Only active readers count
Unsubscribed and deleted readers never count toward your bill. Clean your list without paying for ghosts — enforced in our billing code, not just our marketing.
Unlimited sends on every plan
Send daily, weekly, or launch-week-frantically. No per-email metering, no send credits, no math before you hit publish.
No overage fees, ever
Cross your reader limit and we notify you to upgrade — we never surprise-charge you, throttle your sends, or delete a single reader.
Every feature on every plan
Automations, A/B testing, segmentation, and the AI assistant are never paywalled. Higher tiers buy scale and team seats — not table-stakes features.

Comparison based on published list-size pricing for leading creator email platforms, June 2026.
Switching to AuthorSend saved me over $200 a month compared to my previous platform, and I get better deliverability and AI features included.
Pricing questions, answered
Yes. Every plan comes with a 14-day free trial with full access to all of its features, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee after you subscribe. You can explore everything before committing a single dollar.
Free email tiers attract spammers, and spammers ruin deliverability for everyone sending from the same infrastructure. Because every AuthorSend sender is a paying author, our sending reputation stays clean — which means more of your emails land in inboxes instead of spam folders. We think a 14-day trial plus a money-back guarantee is a fairer deal than a crippled free plan.
Never. Only active readers count. When someone unsubscribes or an address hard-bounces, they stop counting against your plan immediately. We also never count the same reader twice, no matter how many lists or segments they belong to.
We notify you as you approach your limit, and nothing breaks if you cross it — there are no overage fees and we never delete your readers. You simply upgrade to the next plan when you are ready to keep adding new readers.
Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time. When upgrading, you get immediate access to new features and your payment is prorated. When downgrading, the change takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle.
Yes. Annual billing saves you roughly 20% compared to monthly billing — about two and a half months free. The discount is applied automatically when you toggle to annual pricing.
