Curated is a platform built for editorial newsletters rather than adapted from a general email tool. You collect links with a bookmarklet, Chrome extension or a secret email address, choose the best ones, add your own intro and commentary, and send. A web version with searchable back issues is included on your own domain or Curated's, with support for sponsorships and paid subscriptions. It is free up to 1,500 subscribers with every feature, and priced by subscriber count above that.

Prices are monthly in dollars (the page shows a dollar sign, no currency code) and based on total subscribers across all publications. The ladder: free up to 1,500; $39 for 1,501 to 2,500; $69 up to 5,000; $129 up to 10,000; $189 up to 15,000; $299 up to 25,000; $399 up to 50,000; above that contact support@curated.co. The page text is jumbled around the $299 tier, so it is read as the 15,001 to 25,000 tier. No payment details are needed to sign up and the account can be used until you publish your first issue. Invoice payment is available with a $1,000 minimum commitment. Cancelling keeps the publication active until the end of the paid period.
