Rumicat is not for everyone.

And that's fine. Here's how Rumicat stands next to Substack, beehiiv, Buttondown, Ghost, Kit, Mailchimp, MailerLite, Medium and TinyLetter, and where one of them suits you better, we'll say so.

What we made

  • A page that's yours. Pick a color, or add a background to show your unique personality.
  • A plain editor. Write what you have to say, send yourself a preview and hit send.
  • A list of people who chose to be there, and a public archive of everything you've sent.
  • One price that covers all of it, and it's free for your first 300 readers.

That's the whole thing, and one flat price covers it. We'd like to still be sending your words around in five years.

What we left out

All reasonable things to want. If you need one of them, another tool will treat you better, and these are the ones we'd look at.
