The web deserves more independent publishing.
Writizzy is a blog and newsletter platform for people who want to own what they write. Your posts live on your own domain, go out as a newsletter, and can be paid for through your own Stripe account. We take 0% commission, and you can leave with everything, anytime.
We launched Writizzy here in January. Since then we've shipped more than 200 features, and given the whole product a new identity. Here's what changed.
A new look, inside and out
Writizzy has a new brand: warm paper, ink, and a single terracotta dot. The dashboard was redesigned around one question: what does a writer need to see when they open it? Your readers this week, your latest subscribers, the comments waiting for you, and a box to start writing. Nothing else.
An editor built for writing, and for writing together
- Version history. Every save is kept. Compare two versions word by word and restore any of them.
- Notes on drafts. Highlight a passage and leave a note, then reply in a thread. It works for a team reviewing a draft, or just for you.
- No more lost edits. If someone else has the post open, you'll see it, and Writizzy won't let one save quietly overwrite the other.
- Scheduling. Pick a date, and the post, the newsletter and the social posts all go out together.
- New blocks. Polls readers can vote on from the email, a table of contents, image links, GitHub gists, and level 4 headings.
A newsletter that helps you grow
- Recommendations. Recommend other Writizzy newsletters you like. When readers subscribe to yours, they're offered a few more, and other writers can recommend you back.
- Related posts. Every article now suggests similar reads, from your blog and from others.
- Welcome email. Greet every new subscriber with your own message.
- Delivery you can see. See which readers stopped receiving your emails and why, and bring back the ones who couldn't be reached.
Publish everywhere, own it all
- Cross-posting. Share each post to Mastodon, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Discord or dev.to, automatically or after you approve it.
- The open network. Your articles can live on atproto through standard.site, so they show up in Bluesky and in any app that reads the format. Replies on Bluesky appear as the discussion under your post.
- Multilingual blogs. Link translated versions of a post across your blogs. Hreflang tags and a language switcher for readers are handled for you.
- Your blog on yourdomain.com/blog. Besides a custom domain or subdomain, Writizzy can now serve your blog under a sub-folder of your existing site.
- A custom home page (beta). Build your home page like any other page, with columns, cards and a block that shows your latest posts.
Paid subscriptions, without the cut
Readers pay you through your own Stripe account. On €1,000 a month from paid readers, Substack keeps €100. We keep nothing.
- Bring your paying readers with you. Coming from Substack or Ghost? Reconnect your Stripe account and your existing paid subscribers come along.
- Promo codes. Create codes for your readers, and see which ones convert.
Moving in is easy
Import from Substack, Medium, Ghost or WordPress. Old URLs redirect to the new ones automatically. You can even import a whole Medium publication, with each post signed by the author who wrote it.
For teams
Invite authors and editors, set up a review step before anything goes live, and sign in through your company's directory (Okta, Entra, Google Workspace) on the Teams plan.
Work on your blog from your AI assistant
Writizzy now has an MCP server. Connect Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client, and ask it how your last post did, draft the next one, or check your SEO, without opening the dashboard.
Everything else, built in
Built-in analytics with no third-party trackers, an SEO audit that checks every post when you publish, 12 themes with your own colors and fonts, comments with moderation, series, a public API, Zapier and Make, RSS, and full export.
Pricing
- Free: your blog, unlimited posts and a newsletter for up to 100 subscribers. No credit card needed.
- Starter, €9/month: your own domain and the tools for a growing blog.
- Premium and Teams: priced by audience size, never by what you earn.
Paid plans charge a flat fee. Writizzy never takes a percentage of what your readers pay you.
