How is The Town Gossip priced?

The Town Gossip is priced by what you send, not by the size of your subscriber list. There is no per-subscriber tax, so growing your audience does not keep raising your bill.

Is The Town Gossip a Mailchimp alternative?

Yes. The Town Gossip is a simple, low-setup alternative to Mailchimp and similar tools, with no per-subscriber pricing, letting you own your list and send beautiful newsletters.

Send gorgeous newsletters, and actually own your list.

The Town Gossip is a dead-simple newsletter tool. Build an email, manage your subscribers, hit send, and we run the presses behind the scenes. No setup, no bloat, no per-subscriber tax.

the whole story

Everything a newsletter needs.
Nothing it doesn’t.

The bits that matter, in one clean tool built by a bookshop that got tired of paying per-subscriber.

Brand-ready templates

Write or paste HTML, or pick a template built from your own brand (your logo, colours and sign-off), with a live preview as you go.

Own your subscribers

Add people by hand or import a CSV. Export any time. Your list is yours, not rented.

Delivery, handled

We run the sending infrastructure so your emails land in inboxes. Nothing to wire up. Test before you send to everyone.

Schedule sends

Fire it now or pick a date and time. Hosted scheduling runs even with your laptop shut.

See what happened

Delivered, opened, clicked, bounced. Simple stats, no dashboards you’ll never read.

Never rented out

Import and export any time. We never sell, share, or hold your subscribers hostage. Leave whenever you like, with your data.

Let AI write it

On Columnist and up, just say what you want to send. Our AI writes the whole newsletter, copy and design, in your brand. Tweak it and go.

Send from your domain

On Gossip and above, send from your own domain (like news.yoursite.com) for stronger branding and deliverability. We give you the records to add.

Run multiple brands

More than one business? Set up several brands, each with its own name, logo and look, and choose who you’re sending as for each newsletter.

word on the street

Why it’s different

Most newsletter tools charge you more as your list grows, even if you barely email it. We don’t.

The big one

Priced by what you send, not who you store

Mailchimp and the rest bill you for the size of your list, so a big audience costs you even in quiet months. The Town Gossip charges for emails actually sent. A 5,000-person list you email monthly costs a fraction.

No per-subscriber tax
Pay for sending, not storing
Quiet months cost almost nothing

Yours to keep

Your list, never locked in

Bring your people in from a CSV, export them whenever you like, and walk away with everything if you ever want to. We handle all the delivery so you never touch the technical side.

One-click CSV import & export
Sending handled entirely for you
No contracts, cancel anytime

the small print, made plain

Honest pricing

Pick the plan that fits how much you send. You’re charged for emails sent, never for the size of your list. Yearly saves you a month.

Questions

Do I need to set anything up to send?

No. We handle all the email delivery behind the scenes. You add subscribers, write your email, and send. There’s nothing to configure, no accounts to wire up, no keys to paste.

How is this cheaper than Mailchimp?

Most tools charge by the number of contacts you store, so your bill climbs as your list grows even if you rarely email. We charge for emails actually sent, so a large but quiet list costs you very little.

Can I bring my existing subscribers?

Yes. Import a CSV with an email column (and optionally a name), and export your list any time. It’s your list.

How do plans work?

Creating an account is free, so you can look around, import subscribers and draft your first email. To actually send, you pick a plan that matches your monthly volume, from £2.99/mo for up to 1,000 emails. You’re billed for emails sent, not contacts stored, and you can change or cancel any time.
