If you have under 100 subscribers, bltn costs $35/month vs BulletinPlus at $19.99/month. For that extra $15/month, bltn includes unlimited print bulletins, email newsletters, social media publishing, text messaging, and integrations with Planning Center and Canva.
If you were to purchase these separately: Email service ($15-50/mo) + Social media tool ($10-30/mo) + Print design tool ($10-15/mo) = $35-95/mo additional costs. With bltn, everything is included in one simple price.
