Let's say that you have a very large marketing list with 200k people, but you only email once per month.
MailChimp = $1,190 per month if sent as marketing email priced on number of contacts, $200 per month if sent as transactional email priced as number of emails
SendGrid = $90 per month priced as number of emails
Just using ListMonk with SendGrid if you have a large number of subscribers would be worth it.
ListMonk represents the solution to mailing list management, IP reputation is a separate problem.
For things like charities that have tight budgets and potentially huge contact lists, ListMonk would really help them embrace email more because the pricing wouldn't put them off.
- knadh 5y agoThis is correct. Our listmonk instance has ~7mn subscribers to whom we've to send updates (sometimes mandatory regulatory ones within stipulated periods) every month. The cost of hosting listmonk and Postal SMTP servers (that we scale up momentarily when sending a campaign) on EC2 is peanuts. With proper SPF + DKIM + not sending spam, we haven't had any IP reputation issues.
- buro9 5y agoWhile you are here... AGPL choice is excellent. It's a really nice looking piece of software so I hope to use it the next time I find myself reaching for Mailchimp, and I like that if other companies are using it too that all of the changes will be public and have the potential to enhance the software.
