WordPress vs. Substack: Which Platform Holds the Secret to Exploding Your Newsletter’s Growth?
Can I start free and add paid subscriptions later? Absolutely. This is one of WordPress.com’s key advantages—start building your audience for free, then add monetization when you’re ready, with much lower fees than Substack.
Your newsletter deserves a forever home
Choosing a newsletter platform isn’t just about today—it’s about where you want to be in five years. Substack might offer quick setup, but WordPress gives you a foundation that grows with your ambitions.
WordPress represents a fundamentally different philosophy: instead of renting space on someone else’s platform, you’re building a forever home on the open web. A place where you make the rules, keep more of your revenue, and never worry about platform changes affecting your business.
