Where is the difference to Subscribe2?

Subscribe2 as well as Post Notification are based on the same plugin. While Subscribe2 has it’s emphasis on a nice user interface and is more easy to configure this plugin is also suitable for professional sites who want to send several thousand mails as day. There are two main reasons for this:

1. PN sends a "personal" email to each subscriber with a link to change his settings.
2. A subscriber can choose categories without having to register a Wordpress user.
