Send Users Email – Email Subscribers, Email Marketing Newsletter

78 Quality Score

Active Installs

17/30

With 5,000 active installs and no premium marketing push behind it, popularity is modest but respectable for a single-purpose utility plugin.

Update Freshness

25/25

Last updated June 2026 and tested against WordPress 7.0 with a PHP 7.4 minimum, the maintenance signal is excellent and suggests an actively maintained codebase.

User Rating

14/15

A 90 out of 100 across 28 ratings is a strong score, though the small sample size means the average carries meaningful uncertainty.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads, opened or resolved, is a red flag: it could mean the plugin works without issue, or it could mean the developer does not engage on the WordPress.org forums at all.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Compatibility scores full marks, with a modern PHP requirement, current WordPress testing, and no reported conflicts in the data we reviewed.

What It Does

Send Users Email lets a WordPress administrator compose and send an email to all registered users on a site, filtered by role or selected individually. It bypasses a third-party mailing service and delivers directly to addresses already stored in WordPress, making it useful for one-off broadcasts rather than drip campaigns or list management.

Who It's For

This plugin fits site owners with a small to moderate number of registered users (hundreds, not tens of thousands) who need a quick way to push a message out to logged-in members, students, or customers without paying for a SaaS email tool. It works well for community sites, internal corporate intranets, and membership sites where every user already has a WordPress account.

Who Should Skip It

Anyone running a public newsletter for non-WordPress subscribers, or anyone who needs segmentation, automation, unsubscribe links, or open/click tracking, should look at a dedicated email marketing platform instead, since this plugin operates strictly against the wp_users table.

The Bottom Line

Send Users Email does one thing and appears to do it cleanly, scoring 77.57 overall with a particularly strong maintenance profile and solid user ratings. The empty support forum is the main caveat, so anyone deploying it on a high-traffic site should test sending thoroughly on a staging environment first. It is a sensible pick for WordPress-native user groups but not a substitute for a real email marketing platform.
