About Stackr

Stackr gives Substack writers a copy of their archive outside the platform. You paste a Substack or custom-domain URL, Stackr inspects the public archive and shows the article count, and you then choose how to proceed. The output is a ZIP containing posts, images and links in a format ready to keep as a backup or import into WordPress, Ghost or Beehiiv.

Three paid options follow the free scan: a one-time export, a recurring weekly backup that keeps the archive current, and a concierge migration where the team handles export, import and cleanup. The site lists a starting price of $9 for the one-time export, $7 per month for weekly backup and $89 for hands-on migration, and says the exact price depends on archive size and is shown after the scan, before payment. An importer is included for moving the archive to its next home.
