  Hello, I have the free plan with WordPress right now (So I do not have the premium or business plan) and I wanted to install a free newsletter plugin but it says I have to switch to premium or business to install this plugin…Is there no way to install a free plugin with the free plan? Kind of disappointed. Any help and guidance will be appreciated. Thank you

  Hi there,

  Have you looked at our Mailchimp integration? That option is available on the free plan, and doesn’t require any plugins. That is currently the only built-in newsletter integration we offer:

  Add a Mailchimp Pop-Up

  Using plugins on WordPress.com requires the Business Plan. It doesn’t matter whether the plugin itself is free or paid – to use any plugin the site must be on the Business Plan. The Premium Plan will not allow you to install plugins.
