What?? Most SaaS are absolutely not offering custom domains for free. What services are you looking at?

From the top of my mind here are some SaaS that don't charge you extra for a custom domain or even give it for free in their free tier:
- Shopify
- Sendgrid
- Mailchimp
- Wordpress.com
- Firebase
- Vercel
- Netlify
- Surge
Even free blog platforms give you customs domains with HTTPS for free: https://hashnode.com/
> Running your own mail list and custom domain isn't trivial
Regardless of whether this is trivial or not, Substack is a service, not a partner.
If one day you decide to increase your prices and work your ass off to produce more valuable content to your readers, why should Substack get more money?
If instead of sending newsletters we were talking about ecommerce (which is way less trivial) would you be ok with Shopify charging 10% of revenue?
What about AWS charging you 10% of your revenue?
