Buttondown vs. Revue

Revue is a tool focused for big publishers, rather than indie newsletters.

Revue is a tool focused for publishers like Vox Media, Fast Company, or other significant content agencies with hundreds of full-time journalists building out content. It's great for building out digests of relevant links or roundups of industry news, but is probably not the best fit if you're an independent writer or smaller team without those kinds of resources.

Buttondown focuses on making it easy and affordable for you to build out a great newsletter. Features like smart embedding, scheduling, and analytics let you grow and publish as quickly as possible.
