A quiet home for newsletters that readers finish. Built-in audience, distraction-free editor, and zero platform fees on your first 1,000 subscribers.
Rooftop is opinionated about exactly the parts that ruin most newsletter tools — the editor, the inbox, and the bill. Everything else gets out of your way.
No toolbars, no AI co-pilot whispering. Markdown shortcuts, one beautiful default style, and a word-count that hides until you ask for it.
Every new writer gets featured on the Rooftop directory. Curated, weekly, by humans who actually read. No ads, no engagement bait.
No platform fee until your 1,001st subscriber. After that, a flat 4% — the lowest in the category, and we don't touch your tips.
I moved 4,000 readers over in a weekend and didn't lose a single one to a spam folder. The migration just worked — and then the editor made me want to write again.
The editor is the first one that doesn't fight me. I open it and the words come out.
Featured in the directory my second week. 600 new subscribers, zero ad spend.
4% is the lowest cut I've seen, and they don't touch tips. My margins doubled overnight.
One honest plan, one free plan. No seats, no add-ons, no surprise line item the month you finally go viral.
Free forever
Everything you need to publish a real newsletter — up to your first 1,000 subscribers.
Rooftop
Unlimited everything. Pay only when your readers pay you — the lowest cut in the category.
