Buttondown Plans Pricing

Buttondown's published pricing, read from its pricing page. This replaces the 2026-05-04 scaffold, whose tiers and quotas were placeholder values. Buttondown does not sell named API plans: the base price is a continuous function of active subscriber count (free for the first 100), and capability is sold as fixed-price monthly add-ons rather than tiers. API access itself is not metered or separately priced; it is governed by rate limits, not by plan quota.

Buttondown Plans Pricing is the machine-readable pricing-plan profile for Buttondown on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Plans specification.

It defines 2 plans, covering free and usage tiers, with named plans including Free, Paid (subscriber-scaled).

Tagged areas include Email, Newsletters, Paid Subscriptions, and SaaS.
