Buttondown vs. Goodbits

Goodbits was created from a personal need to send an internal email newsletter within a software development agency. Since 2014, Goodbits has been assisting individuals and teams build and grow newsletters.

Goodbits’ key email and newsletter campaign features include:

• Analytics
• Integrations
• Custom templates
• Landing pages
• Send using any email service

Goodbits offers helpful features to create an aesthetically appealing newsletter and assist your newsletter growth. The company pushes its custom templates and designs. They also highlight their team features and link collection tools. Goodbits' integrations include X/Twitter, Zapier, Slack, and Facebook. Goodbits offers the user flexibility to send newsletters from any email service. The company briefly mentions an analytics tool but doesn't provide details on specific measurements.

Buttondown offers nearly the same features-multiple integrations, analytics, tags for mailing list organization, RSS-to-email, and the ability to send from Gmail (or your preferred email service)–with more to come.

While Goodbits offers some quality newsletter marketing tools, the features skew more towards team-based newsletter campaigns and tech businesses. For creators, these features may not be as useful because of the limited integrations and content-focused tools. At the moment, Goodbits lacks the necessary tools to support wider audiences. As the company grows, more features may be added but if you are a creator or someone that produces content, Buttondown may be better suited for your needs.
