I saw this option as well, but I worry that I might get bots or people who don't open the message to subscribe. So if only 10-20% of readers actually open a given email, then at best 25-50 people can benefit from the free tier, max. I'm looking for something a bit more scalable. The next lowest tier of mailchimp costs $13/mo, which is more than 12x what I pay for all my other hosting + domain name costs combined.
- roosgit 3y agoI was under the impression that you have to confirm your email address when you subscribe, but I could be wrong. There’s also an option, as sender, to unsubscribe folks who haven’t open your newsletter in a while. Another route would be AWS SES. They have a free tier. For managing the subscribe/unsubscribe process you could still use MailChimp or a self-hosted solution like Keila https://www.keila.io/ https://www.keila.io/, although I have no experience with this.
- jarbus 3y agoI didn't realize that there was that option, I might have to give them a try then! Keila also looks good, but I can't find anything about RSS integration with them. Thanks!
