Reasons to compare Potions: it is a managed service rather than a self-serve editor, Starter is $169 per month with a billing period that depends on a toggle, paid list growth costs $2 per engaged subscriber with a $500 per month minimum, and long-form original research newsletters are not covered.
Our catalog lists two alternatives. Jasper starts at Pro, $59 per seat per month billed annually ($708 annual per seat). Notion AI starts at Plus, $12 per member per month ($10 when billed yearly) and has a free plan. Neither sends a newsletter for you, so compare how much of the work you want to do yourself.
