What it does

Curated helps editors turn saved links into newsletters with introductions, summaries and commentary. It can publish each issue on the web with searchable archives. All features are free for up to 1,500 subscribers across the account, although a payment card is required before the first send.

Collect useful links throughout the week, then assemble the next issue. Curated's bookmarklet and secret collection email address save material as it is found; the editor then selects the links for the next scheduled issue and adds an introduction, summaries or commentary. A weekly industry digest can mix external articles with the publisher's own work in the same issue.

The optional web version can use a custom domain and provides searchable back issues without an extra fee. Team members can help collect and curate without per-user charges. Subscriber billing, however, is aggregated across all publications in the account. Several small newsletters do not each receive a separate free allowance.

All features are free up to 1,500 subscribers. A card is required before the first issue is sent even within that allowance. The monthly send quota is 31 times the plan's subscriber limit, enough to send once a day to the full allowance in a 31-day month.

Signup creates both your account and first publication. Enter your name, email, password and time zone, then choose a publication name and its curated.co subdomain. You can build issues before supplying payment details. Above the free subscriber limit, monthly pricing rises by subscriber band.
