Substack
Substack is a newsletter platform: posts go out by email and live on a web archive, with optional paid subscriptions, and publications run on a substack.com subdomain or a custom domain.
Only publications on their own domains appear in this list, the more serious operators: journalists who left traditional media, industry analysts, academics, political and finance commentators, and companies using Substack for a branded newsletter. Such a publisher takes the audience seriously, often earns subscription revenue and reaches thousands of readers by email.
Companies that sell to independent publishers buy the list: sponsorship and newsletter advertising marketplaces, podcast hosting and video tools, course and community platforms, payment and tax services for creators, PR agencies that want to place clients in newsletters, research and data providers for finance and industry writers, and competing newsletter platforms. A new Substack domain is a publication that has just invested in its brand; a dropped one has migrated, usually to a platform with lower fees or more control.
Substack is used by 35,666 websites, which is 0.1% of all Blogs detections we record. Substack websites are most often served from United States (127), Germany (1) and United Kingdom (1), and .com, .org and .net are the most common domain endings.

How does BetaScan detect Substack?

How can you tell a website is a Substack publication?
Pages load scripts and images from substackcdn.com and substack.com, include a meta tag or link referencing the substack.com API or the publication feed, and use class names beginning with pencraft or substack- in the subscribe widget and post list. A "Powered by Substack" or "Start writing" link usually sits in the footer. Our crawler matches these hosts and markup on the homepage.
What can you sell to Substack publishers?
Revenue and growth tools for independent writers: sponsorship and ad placement networks, cross-promotion services, podcast and video production, paid community and course platforms, bookkeeping and tax help for creators, editing and design freelancers, and PR pitches from brands or experts seeking coverage.
