Stuck between a rock and a hard place
Your subscriber base is growing and so is the cost per campaign. Going for the monthly plan means wasting more money if you don't send newsletters regularly enough.
You're stuck. The bigger your subscriber base becomes, the more expensive it is to communicate with them. What if you can send without worrying about cost or deliverability?
Meet Sendy
Sendy is a self hosted email newsletter application that lets you send trackable emails via Amazon Simple Email Service (SES). This makes it possible for you to send authenticated bulk emails at an insanely low price without sacrificing deliverability.
How much can you save?
Heaps! How much do you usually send? Drag the slider below:
Email service | Cost per emails |
---|---|
MailChimp | $ |
Campaign Monitor | $ |
Amazon SES | $ |
A penny saved is a penny earned.
Features you'll get
Send newsletters 100x cheaper
Sendy sends fast multi-threaded emails via Amazon SES at only $1 per 10,000 emails. Free yourself from paying for expensive email campaigns and forget about limits set by your host while at the same time enjoy high deliverability rate. Best bang for your buck!
Beautiful reports
See results of every campaign and autoresponders in a beautifully formatted report. Visualize opens, clicks, bounces, complaints and countries with charts & data. You can export segments of subscribers from your report for re-targetting.
White labeled client accounts
Managing multiple products or services? With Sendy, you can organize them into groups or as we like to call it, 'brands'. Optionally give your client access to their own brand and let them send newsletters on their own at a price you set. You can even set monthly sending limits and adjust client privileges.
Autoresponders
Automate your marketing by setting up a series of emails in drip campaigns to automatically follow up with your subscribers at time intervals you set. Or send emails annually or one off emails at a specific date. Keep your subscribers engaged and your brand at the top of their mind.
List segmentation
Research shows sending emails to targeted segments can increase email engagement as well as revenue by more than 25%. Sendy enables you to create segments for any list based on any conditions you define. Choose segments and/or lists to include or exclude in your email campaigns for optimized results.
List & subscriber management
Manage and segment lists & subscribers easily with Sendy. Mass import/delete subscribers, custom fields, single/double opt-in, custom subscribe/unsubscribe confirmation page, thank you/good bye emails, subscribe form or API to add users (takes a deep breath), you name it!
Custom fields
Create custom fields to store more than just 'name' and 'email'. Not only can you store more information about your subscribers, you can use them for list segmentation or personalization tags in your newsletters for a more personalized experience.
Bounce, complaint & unsubscribe handling
Keep your lists clean effortlessly as bounces, complaints and unsubscribes are automatically handled in real time once your newsletter is sent. There is no need for any manual post campaign cleanups, just sit back and watch your campaign report unfold.
Custom domains
Setup custom domains so that unsubscribe, web version and trackable links will use the domain you prefer, rather than the URL where you installed Sendy. Recipients will be better able to recognize who you are, resulting in lower complaint rates.
Housekeeping
Having thousands of unconfirmed email addresses from double opt-in signups that serves no purpose in your lists? As well as people who had never ever read or engage in your emails? You can clean them off your list with just a click of a button.
Third party integrations & Zapier
Sendy integrates with many popular apps like Wordpress, Magento, Joomla etc thanks to third party developers. Sendy also works with Zapier, an automation service that enables you to integrate Sendy with thousands of apps in Zapier's app directory!

I have been having issues with my email marketing and spending $100+ monthly.
— Josh| #DecentWorkNG (@iamJoshuaAlade) July 29, 2020
I just discovered @getSendy and I am spending $2 to send emails to 50k people.
This is amazing.
Been using @getSendy to send @SwitchWeekly for well over a year now. It works great, and has saved me a *ton* over what it would have cost me to send with MailChimp. 💌🙌 #emailgeeks https://t.co/nFDeLdMeFG

Most software I hate, and most business tools I use have significant downsides.

But a piece of software I will gush about that not only works well but has saved us tons of money is @getSendy. If you use campaign monitor/mailchimp check them out:https://t.co/zB8QE4QNhF
Julian, I feel your pain. check this which is more affordable > https://t.co/jbD9TwquDN And compare the cost

If @Mailchimp's poorly scalable monthly subscription made your jaw drop maybe you should try the sendy service which uses AWS as the backed on your own self hosted email solution. The same volume of mailchimps $200 per month plan cost me $2 p/m with sendyhttps://t.co/IA5LQkkTqv

@getSendy There's no better way to do Email than Sendy. Ignorance is the only valid excuse for not choosing Sendy. Even that is a merely a concession. There really is no excuse.

+1 for @getSendy . Migrated from Drip and my total monthly cost for a 2k newsletter sent weekly is under $1/mo. (That doesn’t include hosting, but I already had a shared host I could put it on).

If you're willing to go self-hosted, then https://t.co/1NtxX0Qfm4 for sure. Does all the things you'd want from a "regular" email service like Mailchimp for a tiny, tiny fraction of the cost.

I actually just set up @getSendy + Amazon SES earlier this week. It's WAY cheaper than anything else and it works perfectly!
— Charles Watson (@SirCharlesW727) September 19, 2019
Really put @getSendy through it’s paces today by deploying almost 50,000 emails across all my mailing lists. Held up find, no crashing, all emails delivered successfully. Very pleased. I wrote more about my transition to Sendy here: https://t.co/1yjVOarESq

Setting up @getSendy is easy. :) I can't wait to start sending my campaigns (and my clients) with it.

Sendy is amazing!
— Oliur (@UltraLinx) October 21, 2019
I use https://t.co/EpDCge8IQE to code my emails and then send them through sendy. Saves SOOO MUCH money.
If you send email newsletters and want a really good solution with much smaller cost than Mailchimp et all, try @getsendy - it’s an absolute delight to use and pays for itself in no time.

FAQs
Get your copy of Sendy
Is this a hosted service?
No. Sendy is a self hosted application that runs on your web server. Pay once and it's yours, there's no recurring fee.
What are the requirements?
You'd install Sendy on an online Apache web server with Linux, PHP & MySQL support, just like Wordpress! Almost all hosting companies support them.
Is Sendy easy to setup?
Yes. Just follow our Get Started Guide to get up and running.
Are updates free?
Updates are free up till the next major version, eg. version 5.x, 6.x etc. Major versions don't come so often, so you'd receive more new features in free minor versions than major ones.
What's SES send rate and limit?
Once signed up for Amazon SES, submit the SES Sending Limits form to request for your desired daily sending limit. Eg. if you need to send 10k emails daily, request Amazon for a daily sending limit of 10k emails per day.
Can I install Sendy on multiple domains?
Sendy can be installed on one domain per license. To install Sendy on more domains, you need additional licenses. Sendy's licensed domain is just 'where you install Sendy on'. You can send emails belonging to any domain you want.
Are Sendy's files obfuscated?
Sendy's files are not obfuscated except for the installation and functions file. You can edit the source code for your own personal use without needing these two files.
What's with Sendy's low pricing?
Sendy is a self hosted app, you host it on your own web hosting server instead of ours, so you don’t pay us monthly fees. Emails are sent via Amazon SES at a jaw dropping low rate of only $1 per 10,000 emails. Amazon is known to provide great value at ridiculously low prices. The result? Thousands of happy Sendy users enjoy great results without costing an arm and a leg.
Sendy is yours for a one time payment. You can then save a 100x for every campaign. But these savings are useless if your emails can't be delivered to the inbox. That is why Sendy uses Amazon SES to send your emails. If you encounter problems, we will help you. If it doesn't work out, we'll refund you.
