A MailPoet alternative for nonprofits

Like sending newsletters from WordPress, but don’t want a subscriber-count meter running in the background? Nonprofit Manager is a free MailPoet alternative that also tracks your members and donors. Here’s the real comparison.

Where they’re alike

Both send newsletters straight from your WordPress site. Both have a genuinely usable free tier. Both track opens and clicks. Just need to email a small list? Either works fine.

Where they differ

MailPoet’s free plan covers up to 500 subscribers. After that, it moves to a paid Business plan, around $10 a month, climbing as your list grows. Nonprofit Manager doesn’t meter subscribers at all. A bigger list doesn’t trigger a bigger bill. The bigger difference is scope. Nonprofit Manager isn’t only a newsletter tool, it ties your subscriber list to the same members and donors you’re already tracking. One signup form can add someone to your newsletter, your membership roll, and your donor list at once.

When MailPoet is the better pick

Is email marketing genuinely your main need? Want a dedicated tool with a large template library and a big user base behind it? MailPoet is a solid, well-supported choice.

When to switch

If your newsletter list overlaps with your members and donors, and you’d rather not watch a subscriber counter, install Nonprofit Manager free. It’s part of the all-in-one plugin for small nonprofits, and it’s compared with the field in our best newsletter plugin for nonprofits guide.
