NoteStack
Our verdict: A lot of Notes analytics for the price, with data kept in your browser. Be aware the scheduler auto-publishes through your logged-in Substack session, and the AI features send your Notes text to its server and Anthropic. Skip the Ghostwriter if your voice is the product.
Best for
Notes-first writers who want subscriber-conversion rankings, best-time heatmaps and a scheduler in one extension
Pricing
Starter $8/mo or $60/yr (capped scheduler: 7 new Notes/mo); Pro $12/mo or $99/yr (no caps, adds AI Ghostwriter and Post Coach). 7-day free trial.
