Buttondown vs. Direct Mail Mac
Direct Mail Mac is useful if you need a native app, but its features & ecosystem is lacking.
Direct Mail for Mac is a native app for, well, Macs. If you're dead-set on using a native app, this is the app for you — but you'll be missing out on a number of features and paying a high premium.
Buttondown is a lightweight app that makes it easy to work on your newsletter whenever and wherever you want: from your phone, from your desktop, or even on the go.
Additionally, Buttondown's pricing makes it easy for you to start a newsletter without a high budget; you don't need to pay until you've reached a hundred subscribers, as opposed to Direct Mail for Mac.
Lastly, Buttondown's feature set is powerful yet elegant: you can take advantage of subscriber tagging, our extensive API, and rich platform of third-party integrations to connect your newsletter with all of the services you need.
