How much do you pay for your newsletter stack?

Including email service provider, tools, etc

    I pay US$50+ for Mailchimp's Standard plan. I decided to upgrade from the free tier to be able to utilize features like A/B testing. Mailchimp is free for up to 2,000 subscribers, so if you don't need all the bells and whistles, the free tier is not bad!

    0, because I've got 5k credits on AWS and I'm using mailtrain with amazon SES hosted on aws too, even if I didn't had the 5k credits I would still pay around $7/mo(because I can send 62k free emails with amazon ses if I use it from their servers and usually I send maximum 40k). Better price and a much better delivery rate than sendgrid.

    I was also thinking to make a video about the stack but I'm not sure if anyone would be interested.

      Come on, make a full tutorial and send it to me. I will retweet it and maybe share in the newsletter too.

        Sure, I will record it and post on Monday, I assume you want to see the full process, from installing on aws to demo, right?

      Are reports more complete/detailed than Sendy / Email Octopus?

        I've never used the one mentioned above, but I don't think the reports are better on mailtrain, especially because I use an old version of mailtrain, they're working on a new ones but it requires a lot more resources.

          Thanks for the insights
