Comparison

Nashra vs Curated: one draft to inbox and blog, no external ESP needed.

Curated was built for link-curation newsletters and requires a separate ESP for email delivery. Nashra handles delivery, a real blog, and Magic Links on one flat monthly fee.

The honest read

Where the link-curation model hits its limits.

Link-curation newsletters serve a purpose: surfacing the week's best reads for a busy audience. Curated does that job well, with a bookmarklet and Chrome extension for capturing links and a clean issue editor for packaging them. The ceiling is the infrastructure beneath it. Curated formats; it does not deliver. You wire it to a separate ESP like Mailchimp and pay for that separately. The blog is an issue archive, not a real publishing layer with your own domain and SEO. There are no automations, no segmentation beyond subscribe and unsubscribe, and no way to capture a lead with a hosted page. For original-content creators, that shape is the wrong fit.

Questions

Common questions.

The honest answers. If something here doesn't address it, write to us. A real person on the team will reply, usually the same day.

Does Curated handle email delivery, or do I need a separate tool?

Curated formats and packages the newsletter but does not deliver emails itself. You connect it to a separate ESP like Mailchimp and pay for that service too. Nashra handles everything: writing, delivery, blog, and lead capture on one subscription with no external dependencies.

Can I migrate from Curated to Nashra?

Yes. Export your subscriber list from Curated as a CSV and your issue archive as HTML. Nashra imports both. On the Publisher plan, white-glove migration is free: we port the archive, set up your domain, and redirect old archive URLs.

How does pricing compare between Nashra and Curated?

Curated's free plan covers 1,500 subscribers; Nashra's covers 500. Once you move to paid, Curated starts at $39/month for 2,500 subscribers, plus whatever you pay for the ESP it requires. Nashra starts at $23/month at 3,000 subscribers and includes email delivery, the blog, Magic Links, and visual automations with no add-on tools needed.

When does Curated still make sense over Nashra?

If the newsletter format is pure link curation and the bookmarklet-driven workflow is central to how you work, Curated's tooling is purpose-built for that format. Nashra is designed for creators writing and publishing original content who need inbox, blog, and lead capture in one place. The two tools serve different publishing models.
