The software is a one time payment which is also awesome and then you only pay per email (a super low cost). > > **Cons**: You need some technical chops to care for it. It gets installed on your own hosting server (so you need that first) it also is not all that straightforward to install (but they do offer installation service for a fee). That said, if you can learn to navigate it and live with the lackluster interface you'll save SO MUCH MONEY that it'll blow your mind\! > > We've liked it each time we've worked with it. We liked it less when we had to install it (even for our tech savvy humans) but the cost savings makes it 100% worthwhile to learn and setup. The interface isn't stellar, but it's not terrible either. All in all, we like it, but if you're on the "not-at-all" end of the tech spectrum, you're likely better off with a hosted provider. ----- ### "Great, extendible self-hosted email delivery service." — 5.0/5 > **Vikas** | *3 March 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Remarkably easy to set up, great integrations and pricing. > > **Cons**: The interface, whilst very functional looks a little dated but that is about the only negative. > > I've had a really positive experience with Sendy and like the way it can integrate with WordPress and other email marketing tools. ----- ### "Great product when it works. Sketchy support." — 3.0/5 > **Rick** | *20 March 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Fantastic and low-cost product that does much of the basic email and list management functionality you'd find in other services (Constant Contact, MailChimp etc.) that charge monthly fees. > > **Cons**: Complex set up, but once you've got that done you're, for the most part good to go, unless you need support in which you're at the mercy of the solo-developer responding to your requests or approving your support query in the Sendy support forum. > > I've been using Sendy for many years as a paid user, always updating my license when a new paid version comes along. It's been a solid product that allows me to maintain a number of email lists of varying size utilizing Amazon's SES service to send, which, when set up properly, works fantastic and which is much less expensive to use than the all of the major email marketing platforms. I've got it down and have relied on it every week for years do what I need it to do. The one big issue I have with it is support. I had some issues with setup early on in my usage of Sendy, then get it running smoothly, then years later another issue cropped up. In all occasions I contact Sendy via email as well as attempting to open a ticket in their support form. In some of these occasions my email was never responded to, and my post in the forum was never approved. After numerous followups with an ongoing issue with the product I felt ghosted by the developer leaving me thinking I need to look for a product where, especially if I pay for it, the developer will actually respond. So...if you get Sendy working and don't have any issues, you're in good shape. If any issue comes along, you're at the whim of the developer who may or may not every respond to your support request, or bother to approve your post in their form so you can, at least, interact with other users who may be experiencing similar issues. Very disappointed in the support experience of Sendy which I've been relying upon (mostly successfully) as a paid user for yours. ----- ### "The best self hosted solution I know for email newsletters" — 5.0/5 > **Marcius** | *17 March 2022* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Being self-hosted is the number one criteria for a lot of people who are serious about their business. Being self-hosted means you only pay what you use through the email service providers you choose - which might even mean pennies. You don't pay monthly just for the number of subscribers. It has nice clean integration with Amazon SES, but it doesn't stop there and allows you to have other email service providers via SMTP. Honestly, there are cheaper services than Amazon SES out there, and if you don't want to go through their initial hoops maybe SMTP via other providers is a better idea. It has all the options needed for a basic email newsletter functionality - most notably: autoresponders, segmentation, rules, custom fields (important\!), bounce handling and in the latest version Webhooks (huge\!). It also has a lot of integrations. But the most attractive thing is the price - a one time payment to use for life - or until you want the newest version. Of course you would be paying the email provider you'll chose, but that's based on usage. But it's very affordable, and it has everything you need in a newsletter. > > **Cons**: This might not be for someone non-techie. If you don't know what SMTP is, if you don't know how to setup DNS records, a SPF, or what a DKIM is and the like, then this might scare you. But I don't want to discourage you entirely because it might sound more complicated than it is. Sendy is one of the tools that's actually pretty easy to setup and it has a step-by-step instruction, not to mention the videos that show you how to set it up within about 10-15 minutes. So before you give up on it, look at those setup videos and see. Does it really look that complicated? Sendy makes it all pretty easy and streighforward - I know that there are a lot more complicated self-hosted solutions out there, who have half the features. It's not as simple as some push-button hosted solutions, but it doesn't cost as much as them either. > > I have tried about 8 other self-hosted solutions before discovering Sendy. While Sendy might not outshine others, it doesn't need to. It does everything it needs to, at a one-time fee, and is much simpler to use and uses less resources that the others. Sendy is everything you need if you just want a self-hosted email newsletter solution. If you want other marketing gimmicks, then maybe you'll need to look for other things, but for what it is, Sendy does a great job. Oh, and with Webhooks feature maybe it does outshine others, without costing an arm and a leg. ----- ### "Effortless integration with Amazon SES" — 5.0/5 > **Dylan** | *29 September 2022* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: We migrated from a software called Muxemail that allowed us to send via Amazon SES (dramatically dropping costs vs what we had been paying at mailchimp). Sendy offers the same functionality, but allows you to self-host and control the email sending architecture (avoiding issues if companies go out of business). They offer a very affordable self-installation service that made the switch effortless (less than 24 hours to switch and have all lists up and running, and Amazon SES validation completed). Sendy is quite powerful, offers integration possibilities, and offers the same value for money that you get with SES. The reporting is also great, we moved from a platform that made odd reporting choices (e.g. breaking up link clicks by individual rather than by aggregate). Sendy is miles ahead in this area. The price point is also excellent (less than $70 for lifetime). Note, that you will need to pay for major upgrades if you want to take advantage (you don't have to though) > > **Cons**: The in-built email editor might seem limited if you are used to the more design-friendly packages of Mailchimp and moosend and similar software. This wasn't an issue with us as we use an external email design program called stripo (that handily has a direct integration to sendy). The overall UI looks a lot starker than competitors, this is only very minor though, as you soon adjust. > > I really enjoyed the process of getting sendy setup. An easy check-out, a few emails and we were up and running. It took a few attempts to translate the UI fields (as I had missed that they had tag functionality under a different name) but support was friendly and fast. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ae/software/2077573/sendy?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ae/software/2077573/sendy) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
