Congrats to the Spatie team with the release of Mailcoach:
Mailcoach is a self-hosted email list manager. It integrates with services like Amazon SES, Mailgun or Sendgrid to send out mailings affordably. Stand-alone, or integrated in a Laravel project, it’s perfect for bloggers, artisans and entrepreneurs.
Now with an introductory price of $99 (instead of $149). For comparison: when sending 24 annual campaigns to 5000 subscribers Mailcoach will save you about $2500 annually when compared to Mailchimp.
A great move by Freek is to also provide a video course on how they built Mailcoach. Highly interesting if you’re a Laravel Developer, even if you’re not interested in Mailcoach itself.
💡 More “behind the scenes” info can be found in Freek’s writeup on the project and Sebastian’s insights on the (lack) of JavaScript frameworks in Mailcoach.
