Your newsletter is a product. Price it like one.
Monthly, yearly, or both. Set a monthly and a yearly price, and Eden shows readers what the year saves. Or charge once for lifetime access.
A free trial if you want one. 1 to 90 days free, then they pay. Cancel before it ends and they're never charged.
Your checkout, your buyers. Readers pay through Eden checkout and the money goes to your Stripe. Every subscriber is a customer you can see.
Next to everything else you sell. Courses, coaching, downloads, and Custom AI live in the same store, so a reader is one click from your next offer.
Write it here, or bring what you've written.
Write an issue. A clean page with a cover image, headings, and lists. It saves as you type.
Bring your back catalog. Turn past broadcasts into issues, copy in a document, or upload a Markdown file.
Drafts stay private. Only you see a draft. Publish it to the archive without emailing anyone, and set the date it shows.
Something to read on day one. Post a few older issues before launch, so new subscribers open a full archive.
One click and it's in every paying inbox.
Email it to subscribers. Eden counts who's paying right now and sends to all of them. Send yourself a test first.
Or post it quietly. Add it to the archive without an email, for bonus posts and old issues.
Paid means delivered. Readers who unsubscribed from your other emails still get the issues they pay for.
No sending domain to set up. Issues go out from your store on Eden's address. Unsubscribes and bounces are handled for you.
Every issue they paid for, in one place.
An archive, newest first. Every past issue in their free Eden account, with new ones marked.
Read anywhere. On the web or on their phone, whenever they want.
Email or no email. Each reader can turn off emails and read only in Eden. The link in each issue stops that newsletter's emails, nothing else.
Cancel any time. They keep reading until the end of the period they paid for.
Show them what they're missing. Then let them taste it.
Recent issues, locked. Your product page lists your newest issue titles, so readers see you show up every week.
One issue free. Pick a free sample. Anyone can read it from your page, and it ends with a button to get every issue.
The page writes itself. What's included and the FAQ fill in for newsletters, in your store's language. Change any line.
Grow a free list. Let the good ones upgrade.
A signup block on your page. New readers join your list, along with everyone who buys or claims a free product.
Broadcasts when you write. Send free issues to your whole list or just the people you pick.
Free to paid, on its own. On Pro, a sequence welcomes new signups and pitches the paid newsletter. Anyone who subscribes leaves it.
One list, the right people. Filter any email by who bought a product, has a tag, or signed up on your page.
Love Substack? Keep it.
Signups go straight to Substack. Add a signup block to your store page, and new readers are added to your Substack automatically. No other app does this.
Pick who goes where. Send newsletter signups to Substack, and buyers and free downloaders to Eden. One switch for each.
A clean list for selling. Your newsletter stays where it is. Eden's list runs the sequences that turn downloaders into buyers, which Substack doesn't do.
Kit, beehiiv, and GoHighLevel too. The same switches work for any of them, with tags on all three.
Sell it here for 5%. 2% on Max.
Say 500 readers pay $8 a month, and 2,000 more read for free. That's $4,000 a month. Here's what each platform costs you for it, before Stripe's processing fee, which every one of them charges too.
Example: 500 paying readers at $8 a month and 2,000 free readers, 2,500 people in all. Monthly prices, checked October 4, 2026. beehiiv costs less for the newsletter alone. Eden's price also covers your store, courses, coaching, and AI.
What writers ask first.
Can I sell a paid newsletter on Eden?
Yes. A newsletter is a product in your store. Readers pay monthly, yearly, or once for life, get each new issue by email, and read every past issue in Eden on web and phone. You can add a free trial and a free sample issue.
Do I have to leave Substack?
No. Plenty of writers keep their newsletter on Substack and use Eden for what Substack doesn't do: sequences for free downloaders and buyers, a store for courses and coaching, and checkout recovery. Signups from your Eden store page can be added to your Substack automatically, and Who goes where lets you send buyers to Eden and newsletter signups to Substack.
How much does Eden take?
5% of each payment on Starter and Pro, and 2% on Max, plus Stripe's processing fee. Substack takes 10% plus Stripe. Publishing a newsletter needs Starter ($29 a month) or higher, and building one is free on any plan.
Do paying subscribers count toward my email list?
Yes. Paying subscribers are contacts, like buyers and signups. Every plan that sells includes 250 contacts. Past that, a list size starts at $15 a month for 1,000 contacts and moves up on its own as your list grows, up to a limit you set. Unsubscribed and bounced people don't count.
Can I run a free newsletter too?
Yes. Add a signup block to your store page, and new readers land on your list. Send them broadcasts whenever you write. On Pro, a sequence can warm up new signups and pitch the paid newsletter for you, and anyone who subscribes leaves it.
Where do readers read past issues?
In their free Eden account, on web and phone. New issues are marked, and each reader can turn off emails and read only in Eden. There's no public web archive, so your issues aren't indexed by Google.
What happens when a reader unsubscribes?
The link at the bottom of each issue stops emails for that newsletter only, and they keep reading every issue in Eden. Paying readers who unsubscribe from your other marketing emails still get their issues, because they paid for them.
Can I move my Substack or beehiiv newsletter to Eden?
If you want to. Your free list comes over as a CSV you import in Customers, and Eden checks each address. Old issues can come over as Markdown files, one issue each. Paying subscribers can't be moved over yet, so they'd subscribe again on Eden. You don't have to move anything, though: connect Kit, beehiiv, GoHighLevel, or Substack and keep using it.
What doesn't Eden do that Substack or beehiiv does?
No public website for your posts, no ad network, no referral program for readers, and no recommendation network. Issues send from Eden's address, not your own domain. If those matter more than keeping more of each subscription and selling your other products in the same place, Substack or beehiiv may fit better.
Can AI help me write issues?
Eden's AI can draft in your voice from your workspace, and you can turn any document into an issue with From a document. On Pro, Write with AI drafts a whole email sequence, like the one that turns free readers into paid ones.
