You pay $69 once and send through Amazon SES at about $1 per 10,000 emails. For a big list that\u2019s cheaper than any hosted platform. The bill arrives in other ways. You run the server, the PHP updates, the backups and the SES account. If your bounce or complaint rate spikes, Amazon can pause your sending before anyone on your team notices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide splits Sendy alternatives into three groups, because people leave Sendy for different reasons. Some want to <strong>keep SES pricing without running a server<\/strong>. Some want to <strong>stay self-hosted with a more capable tool<\/strong>. Some are done with infrastructure and want a <strong>fully hosted platform<\/strong> at a price that still feels Sendy-like. Our pick for that last group, and for most teams, is <strong>Mailercloud<\/strong>. It\u2019s free for 1,000 contacts, then $10\/month for 5,000 contacts with unlimited sends, and it includes the automation, deliverability tools and support that Sendy leaves to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#f0f4ff; border-left:4px solid #2B5CE6; padding:14px 20px; border-radius:0 6px 6px 0; margin:22px 0;\">\n  <p style=\"margin:0; font-size:15px; color:#2d3748; line-height:1.65;\"><strong>Quick Answer:<\/strong> <strong>Mailercloud is the best Sendy alternative in 2026<\/strong> for teams that want Sendy-like pricing without running a server. It&#8217;s free for 1,000 contacts, then $10\/month for 5,000 contacts with unlimited sends, and includes automation, an email verifier and Inbox Tracker. To keep sending through Amazon SES, choose <strong>EmailOctopus Connect<\/strong> or <strong>Mailcoach<\/strong>. For free self-hosting, choose <strong>listmonk<\/strong>.

When something breaks at 9pm before a launch, there\u2019s no one to call.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>SES account risk.<\/strong> Amazon puts an account under review at a 5% bounce rate or a 0.1% complaint rate, and can pause sending at 10% and 0.5%. One old imported list can do that.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Limited automation.<\/strong> Sendy has autoresponders and segments, but no visual workflow builder with branching, goals or behaviour triggers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No deliverability visibility.<\/strong> You see opens and bounces. You can\u2019t see whether mail landed in the inbox, Promotions or spam.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Upgrades and licences.<\/strong> Each licence covers one installation domain, and updates are free only within the same major version.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">None of this makes Sendy bad. It makes Sendy a developer tool. A lot of the people using it are marketers who picked it for the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"the-real-cost-of-sendy\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Real_Cost_of_Sendy\"><\/span>The Real Cost of Sendy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People compare Sendy\u2019s $69 with a monthly subscription. That isn\u2019t a like-for-like comparison. Here\u2019s what Sendy costs a list of 10,000 subscribers emailed weekly (about 43,000 emails a month):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"max-width:100%;overflow-x:auto;margin:24px 0;border-radius:12px;box-shadow:0 4px 20px rgba(0,0,0,0.08);\"><table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;background:#fff;min-width:520px;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,sans-serif;\"><thead><tr style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,#1e3a5f 0%,#2b6cb0 100%);\"><th style=\"padding:14px 16px;text-align:left;font-size:13px;font-weight:600;color:#fff;letter-spacing:0.4px;white-space:nowrap;border-radius:12px 0 0 0;\">Cost item<\/th><th style=\"padding:14px 16px;text-align:left;font-size:13px;font-weight:600;color:#fff;letter-spacing:0.4px;white-space:nowrap;\">Sendy + Amazon SES<\/th><th style=\"padding:14px 16px;text-align:left;font-size:13px;font-weight:600;color:#fff;letter-spacing:0.4px;white-space:nowrap;border-radius:0 12px 0 0;\">Notes<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr style=\"background:#fff;border-bottom:1px solid #edf2f7;\"><td style=\"padding:13px 16px;font-size:13.5px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;vertical-align:middle;\">Licence<\/td><td style=\"padding:13px 16px;font-size:13px;color:#4a5568;vertical-align:middle;\">$69 one-time (+ $79 optional install)<\/td><td style=\"padding:13px 16px;font-size:13px;color:#4a5568;vertical-align:middle;\">One installation domain per licence<\/td><\/tr><tr style=\"background:#f8fafc;border-bottom:1px solid #edf2f7;\"><td style=\"padding:13px 16px;font-size:13.5px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;vertical-align:middle;\">Hosting<\/td><td style=\"padding:13px 16px;font-size:13px;color:#4a5568;vertical-align:middle;\">Roughly $5\u201320\/month<\/td><td style=\"padding:13px 16px;font-size:13px;color:#4a5568;vertical-align:middle;\">Small VPS or shared PHP hosting<\/td><\/tr><tr style=\"background:#fff;border-bottom:1px solid #edf2f7;\"><td style=\"padding:13px 16px;font-size:13.5px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;vertical-align:middle;\">Sending<\/td><td style=\"padding:13px 16px;font-size:13px;color:#4a5568;vertical-align:middle;\">~$4.30\/month<\/td><td style=\"padding:13px 16px;font-size:13px;color:#4a5568;vertical-align:middle;\">SES at about $1 per 10,000 emails<\/td><\/tr><tr style=\"background:#f8fafc;border-bottom:1px solid #edf2f7;\"><td style=\"padding:13px 16px;font-size:13.5px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;vertical-align:middle;\">Your time<\/td><td style=\"padding:13px 16px;font-size:13px;color:#4a5568;vertical-align:middle;\">1\u20133 hours\/month<\/td><td style=\"padding:13px 16px;font-size:13px;color:#4a5568;vertical-align:middle;\">Updates, backups, SES limits, troubleshooting<\/td><\/tr><tr style=\"background:#fff;border-bottom:1px solid #edf2f7;\"><td style=\"padding:13px 16px;font-size:13.5px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;vertical-align:middle;\">Deliverability tools<\/td><td style=\"padding:13px 16px;font-size:13px;color:#4a5568;vertical-align:middle;\">Not included<\/td><td style=\"padding:13px 16px;font-size:13px;color:#4a5568;vertical-align:middle;\">No inbox placement, no list verification<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In pure dollars Sendy wins at this size, and it keeps winning as your list grows.

Premium is $10\/month for 5,000 contacts with unlimited sends, and 10,000 contacts cost $50\/month on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailercloud.com\/pricing\/\">pricing page<\/a>. Annual billing takes 30% off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What you get that Sendy doesn\u2019t: a visual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailercloud.com\/features\/email-automation\/\">automation builder<\/a> for welcome series, drips and re-engagement, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailercloud.com\/features\/inbox-tracker\/\">Inbox Tracker<\/a> to show whether campaigns reached the inbox or spam at Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo. There\u2019s also a built-in email verifier to clean a Sendy list before its first send, plus hosted infrastructure with support you can reach. The trade-offs are real. It costs more than Sendy + SES once your list grows past 10,000 contacts. Its integration library is smaller than MailerLite\u2019s. And you don\u2019t get Sendy\u2019s multi-brand white-labelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"key-features\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hosted sending on managed infrastructure; no server or SES account<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visual automation builder: welcome, drip, re-engagement, date and behaviour triggers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drag-and-drop editor, template gallery and custom HTML editor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Segmentation, A\/B testing and AI subject lines (Premium)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inbox Tracker for placement at Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Built-in email verifier and signup form builder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#fff;border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:12px;padding:24px 28px;margin:22px 0;box-shadow:0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.04);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,sans-serif;\">\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;background:#c6f6d5;color:#22543d;font-size:15px;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:6px;margin-right:8px;\">\u2705<\/span>Mailercloud Pros:<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 0;padding-left:22px;color:#2d3748;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.85;\">\n    <li>No server, PHP updates or SES account to manage<\/li>\n    <li>Free for 1,000 contacts and 12,000 emails a month; $10\/month for 5,000 contacts with unlimited sends<\/li>\n    <li>Visual automation builder: welcome series, drips, re-engagement<\/li>\n    <li>Inbox Tracker shows inbox vs spam placement at Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo<\/li>\n    <li>Built-in email verifier to clean an old Sendy list before the first send<\/li>\n    <li>Support you can actually reach<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;background:#fed7d7;color:#742a2a;font-size:15px;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:6px;margin-right:8px;\">\u274c<\/span>Mailercloud Cons:<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 0;padding-left:22px;color:#2d3748;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.85;\">\n    <li>Costs more than Sendy + SES once your list passes about 10,000 contacts<\/li>\n    <li>No Sendy-style multi-brand white-labelling<\/li>\n    <li>Smaller integration library than MailerLite<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p style=\"margin:0;font-size:15px;color:#2d3748;padding:14px 16px;background:#f0f9ff;border-left:4px solid #2b6cb0;border-radius:6px;\"><span style=\"margin-right:6px;\">\ud83d\udcb0<\/span><strong>Pricing:<\/strong> Free for 1,000 contacts; Premium from <strong>$10\/month<\/strong> for 5,000 contacts (30% off annually).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pricing:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailercloud.com\/pricing\/?source=blog&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=alternatives_sendy\">Free for 1,000 contacts; Premium from $10\/month for 5,000 contacts, unlimited sends<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Best for:<\/strong> Small businesses and creators who chose Sendy for the price and now want automation and support without the upkeep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;align-items:center;justify-content:space-between;gap:14px;background:#fff;border:1px solid #d6e4f5;border-left:4px solid #2b6cb0;border-radius:10px;padding:16px 20px;margin:24px 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;\">\n  <div style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:12px;flex:1 1 320px;\"><p style=\"margin:0;font-size:14.5px;color:#2d3748;line-height:1.5;\"><strong>Try Mailercloud free<\/strong> &mdash; 1,000 contacts and 12,000 emails a month, no server to manage, no credit card.<\/p><\/div>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/app.mailercloud.com\/register?source=blog&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=alternatives_sendy_mid\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2b6cb0;color:#fff;font-size:14px;font-weight:600;text-decoration:none;padding:10px 20px;border-radius:999px;white-space:nowrap;\">Sign up free&nbsp;&rarr;<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"2-emailoctopus-best-way-to-keep-using-amazon-ses\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_EmailOctopus_%E2%80%94_Best_Way_to_Keep_Using_Amazon_SES\"><\/span>2.

It started as a hosted interface on top of Amazon SES, and its <strong>Connect<\/strong> product still lets you bring your own SES account. You keep SES\u2019s low per-email cost, and EmailOctopus runs the software, updates and hosting. It\u2019s the closest thing to &#8220;Sendy, but someone else maintains it&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019d rather not deal with SES at all, the standard hosted product is one of the most generous free plans on the market: 2,500 subscribers and 10,000 emails a month. Pro starts at $9\/month billed yearly. The editor is clean, and there are templates, forms, landing pages and simple automations for welcome and drip sequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The limits show on the free plan and in automation depth. Free emails carry EmailOctopus branding, reports are kept for 30 days only, and you get one landing page, one form and one user. Automations are straightforward sequences rather than the branching workflows you\u2019d get on Mailercloud or MailerLite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"key-features\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Connect: hosted interface on your own Amazon SES account<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free plan: 2,500 subscribers, 10,000 emails a month<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drag-and-drop editor, templates, forms and landing pages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Simple automation sequences<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#fff;border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:12px;padding:24px 28px;margin:22px 0;box-shadow:0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.04);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,sans-serif;\">\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;background:#c6f6d5;color:#22543d;font-size:15px;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:6px;margin-right:8px;\">\u2705<\/span>EmailOctopus Pros:<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 0;padding-left:22px;color:#2d3748;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.85;\">\n    <li>Keep SES pricing without maintaining a server (Connect)<\/li>\n    <li>One of the largest free plans: 2,500 subscribers<\/li>\n    <li>Clean, beginner-friendly editor<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;background:#fed7d7;color:#742a2a;font-size:15px;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:6px;margin-right:8px;\">\u274c<\/span>EmailOctopus Cons:<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 0;padding-left:22px;color:#2d3748;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.85;\">\n    <li>Free plan shows EmailOctopus branding and keeps reports for 30 days<\/li>\n    <li>Automation is simpler than Mailercloud or MailerLite<\/li>\n    <li>Connect is priced separately from the standard plans<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p style=\"margin:0;font-size:15px;color:#2d3748;padding:14px 16px;background:#f0f9ff;border-left:4px solid #2b6cb0;border-radius:6px;\"><span style=\"margin-right:6px;\">\ud83d\udcb0<\/span><strong>Pricing:<\/strong> Free up to 2,500 subscribers; Pro from <strong>$9\/month<\/strong> billed yearly; Connect priced separately.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Best for:<\/strong> Sendy users who want to keep SES but stop maintaining a server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"3-mailcoach-best-pay-per-email-option-with-your-own-provider\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Mailcoach_%E2%80%94_Best_Pay-Per-Email_Option_With_Your_Own_Provider\"><\/span>3.

It charges by emails sent rather than by contacts, the pricing model closest to Sendy\u2019s. Hosted Mailcoach costs \u20ac9.99\/month including 2,000 emails, then \u20ac0.001 per email. If you connect your own sending provider (Amazon SES, Postmark, Mailgun, Brevo or any SMTP server), the per-email fee drops further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contacts, lists and automations are all unlimited, so a large, lightly mailed list doesn\u2019t cost more just for existing. There\u2019s a proper automation builder for welcome series and drips, templates written in Markdown or HTML, and API access. Developers who want to stay on their own servers can use Mailcoach Self-Hosted, a Laravel package, instead of the hosted app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It feels built by developers for developers. The editor is plainer than mainstream marketing platforms, and there\u2019s no annual discount because billing is usage-based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"key-features\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u20ac9.99\/month base with 2,000 emails, then \u20ac0.001 per email<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bring your own provider: SES, Postmark, Mailgun, Brevo or SMTP<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unlimited contacts, lists and automations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hosted app or self-hosted Laravel package<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#fff;border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:12px;padding:24px 28px;margin:22px 0;box-shadow:0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.04);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,sans-serif;\">\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;background:#c6f6d5;color:#22543d;font-size:15px;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:6px;margin-right:8px;\">\u2705<\/span>Mailcoach Pros:<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 0;padding-left:22px;color:#2d3748;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.85;\">\n    <li>Pay per email, not per contact, just like Sendy<\/li>\n    <li>Works with your own SES, Postmark or Mailgun account<\/li>\n    <li>Unlimited contacts and automations<\/li>\n    <li>Self-hosted option for full control<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;background:#fed7d7;color:#742a2a;font-size:15px;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:6px;margin-right:8px;\">\u274c<\/span>Mailcoach Cons:<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 0;padding-left:22px;color:#2d3748;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.85;\">\n    <li>Developer-oriented; plainer editor than MailerLite or Mailercloud<\/li>\n    <li>No annual discount on usage-based billing<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p style=\"margin:0;font-size:15px;color:#2d3748;padding:14px 16px;background:#f0f9ff;border-left:4px solid #2b6cb0;border-radius:6px;\"><span style=\"margin-right:6px;\">\ud83d\udcb0<\/span><strong>Pricing:<\/strong> <strong>\u20ac9.99\/month<\/strong> including 2,000 emails, then \u20ac0.001 per email; 14-day free trial.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Best for:<\/strong> Developers and technical founders who like Sendy\u2019s economics but want automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"4-bigmailer-best-for-multi-brand-senders\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_BigMailer_%E2%80%94_Best_for_Multi-Brand_Senders\"><\/span>4.

You can run several brands or client accounts from one login, each with its own lists, senders and templates. That\u2019s how many agencies and multi-site publishers used Sendy. It also lets you connect your own Amazon SES account to keep sending costs low, or send through BigMailer\u2019s own infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to BigMailer\u2019s published comparison, plans start from $5\/month for 5,000 contacts, which makes it one of the cheapest hosted options for multi-brand use. It covers the core email marketing features: drag-and-drop editor, segmentation, automation and reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a small company with a much smaller user base than MailerLite or Brevo, so there\u2019s less third-party documentation and fewer integrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"key-features\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Multiple brands under one account, like Sendy\u2019s brands<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Connect your own Amazon SES, or use BigMailer\u2019s sending<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drag-and-drop editor, segmentation and automation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>From $5\/month for 5,000 contacts (per BigMailer)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#fff;border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:12px;padding:24px 28px;margin:22px 0;box-shadow:0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.04);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,sans-serif;\">\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;background:#c6f6d5;color:#22543d;font-size:15px;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:6px;margin-right:8px;\">\u2705<\/span>BigMailer Pros:<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 0;padding-left:22px;color:#2d3748;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.85;\">\n    <li>Brands feature is the closest match to Sendy\u2019s<\/li>\n    <li>Bring your own SES for low sending costs<\/li>\n    <li>Very low starting price<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;background:#fed7d7;color:#742a2a;font-size:15px;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:6px;margin-right:8px;\">\u274c<\/span>BigMailer Cons:<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 0;padding-left:22px;color:#2d3748;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.85;\">\n    <li>Small company; fewer integrations and tutorials<\/li>\n    <li>Pricing page wasn\u2019t reachable when we checked; figures from BigMailer\u2019s own comparison<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p style=\"margin:0;font-size:15px;color:#2d3748;padding:14px 16px;background:#f0f9ff;border-left:4px solid #2b6cb0;border-radius:6px;\"><span style=\"margin-right:6px;\">\ud83d\udcb0<\/span><strong>Pricing:<\/strong> From <strong>$5\/month<\/strong> for 5,000 contacts, per BigMailer\u2019s published comparison.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Best for:<\/strong> Agencies and multi-brand businesses that relied on Sendy\u2019s white-label brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"5-mailerlite-best-easy-hosted-platform\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_MailerLite_%E2%80%94_Best_Easy_Hosted_Platform\"><\/span>5.

The free plan allows 300 emails a day, fine for testing but not for a real newsletter.

That\u2019s why some agencies run it as their own white-label email service and resell sending to clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You get segmentation, autoresponders, a template builder and an API. The trade-off is complexity. MailWizz has many more settings than Sendy, and setting it up well (cron jobs, delivery servers, bounce handling) takes real sysadmin time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"key-features\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>One-time licence, self-hosted<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Multiple delivery and bounce servers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customer accounts and pricing plans for resellers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Segmentation, autoresponders, templates and API<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#fff;border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:12px;padding:24px 28px;margin:22px 0;box-shadow:0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.04);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,sans-serif;\">\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;background:#c6f6d5;color:#22543d;font-size:15px;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:6px;margin-right:8px;\">\u2705<\/span>MailWizz Pros:<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 0;padding-left:22px;color:#2d3748;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.85;\">\n    <li>One-time licence, like Sendy<\/li>\n    <li>Far more configurable; can run as a white-label service<\/li>\n    <li>Multiple delivery servers, including SES<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#1a202c;\"><span style=\"display:inline-block;background:#fed7d7;color:#742a2a;font-size:15px;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:6px;margin-right:8px;\">\u274c<\/span>MailWizz Cons:<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 0;padding-left:22px;color:#2d3748;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.85;\">\n    <li>Steeper setup and admin than Sendy<\/li>\n    <li>You own uptime, security and updates<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p style=\"margin:0;font-size:15px;color:#2d3748;padding:14px 16px;background:#f0f9ff;border-left:4px solid #2b6cb0;border-radius:6px;\"><span style=\"margin-right:6px;\">\ud83d\udcb0<\/span><strong>Pricing:<\/strong> One-time licence (about <strong>$86<\/strong>), plus hosting and sending costs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Best for:<\/strong> Agencies building their own sending service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"9-mautic-best-open-source-marketing-automation\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Mautic_%E2%80%94_Best_Open-Source_Marketing_Automation\"><\/span>9.

It has a visual campaign builder with branching, lead scoring, forms, landing pages, dynamic content and CRM-style contact records that track website visits. It sends through any SMTP or API provider, including Amazon SES.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s free to use, but it\u2019s much heavier than Sendy. You\u2019ll need a capable server, a database that grows with tracking data, and someone comfortable maintaining PHP applications and upgrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"key-features\"

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019d rather you pick the right tool than switch for the sake of it. <strong>Stay on Sendy<\/strong> if all three of these are true: you have a developer who looks after the server, your list is clean and permission-based (bounces under 2%, complaints well under 0.1%), and you mostly send broadcasts rather than automated journeys. At 25,000+ subscribers that setup is very hard to beat on price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Move to a hosted platform<\/strong> if a marketer, not a developer, owns email. The same goes if you need behaviour-triggered automation, or if you\u2019ve ever had an SES review notice. At 5,000 contacts, Mailercloud\u2019s $10 is roughly what Sendy costs once hosting is counted, and the upkeep disappears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-migrate-from-sendy\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Migrate_From_Sendy\"><\/span>How to Migrate From Sendy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Export your lists<\/strong> from Sendy as CSV, including custom fields and unsubscribes.

EmailOctopus Connect and BigMailer are the closest hosted products that still use your own SES account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"can-i-keep-using-amazon-ses-without-sendy\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I keep using Amazon SES without Sendy?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Yes. EmailOctopus Connect, Mailcoach, BigMailer, listmonk and MailWizz can all send through your own Amazon SES account.<\/strong> That keeps the low per-email cost while swapping Sendy\u2019s interface for a hosted or more capable one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"what-is-the-best-free-sendy-alternative\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the best free Sendy alternative?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>listmonk is the best free self-hosted Sendy alternative, and Mailercloud\u2019s free plan (1,000 contacts, 12,000 emails a month) is the best free hosted option.<\/strong> EmailOctopus\u2019s free plan covers 2,500 subscribers but carries its branding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"does-mailercloud-work-with-amazon-ses\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Mailercloud work with Amazon SES?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>No. Mailercloud sends through its own managed infrastructure, so there\u2019s no SES account to set up or risk.<\/strong> If keeping SES matters to you, EmailOctopus Connect or Mailcoach are better fits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"final-verdict\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Verdict\"><\/span>Final Verdict<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sendy is still the cheapest way to send a lot of email if you\u2019re comfortable running it. Most people searching for alternatives aren\u2019t, and they don\u2019t need to be. <strong>Mailercloud<\/strong> gives you Sendy-like pricing at small and mid-sized lists ($10\/month for 5,000 contacts), with automation, verification, inbox placement tracking and support included. If you want to keep SES, choose EmailOctopus Connect or Mailcoach.
