@desheikh I noticed your based in Toronto, is the pricing in CAD or USD? For some businesses, this (the CAD -> USD exchange) is becoming a large decision topic..

@desheikh Good for you but not good for Canadian customers.

This is something we've been doing at https://emailoctopus.com for the past 3 years and judging from our rapid growth there's definitely room for others in the market. A little bit peeved at the number of UI and text pieces which have been lifted from our site, but hey-ho. Best of luck.

@desheikh @td_evans I think https://sendy.co/ has got ya both beat 😜. No subscription - just a one time fee. Would love to hear...why it doesn't have you beat....lol (P.S. I don't work for Sendy lol)

@desheikh @james_osullivan Believe me Sendy is great, like Zulfiqar we have a lot of respect for Ben who has made a great self-hosted product. If you're pretty technical it's pretty much unbeatable for price. We came up with our EO as we saw a need for those who wanted to save money but who didn't want the hassle of their own hosting and configuration which can take a while with Sendy (believe me running any service handling lots of data isn't easy). It was a need to solve our own problem. There's a few of us in the same market now and I genuinely believe there's enough space for us all.

@desheikh @td_evans Your Amazon SES solutions (including Sendy) are great for most users, but the market AFAIK still lacks a SES solution which provides decent UI & API for creating/sending 100% dynamic emails (based on specific user data/segmentation)... which is the only reason I'm still unable to implement and enjoy most of these services 😖

@desheikh Sounds promising. Best of luck 😎

@td_evans @desheikh That makes sense! I actually use GMass. The feature I need the most, is one I think EO doesn't have and I know Sendy doesn't have. The ability to reply to an existing email. So If I email peeps and they don't reply, instead of sending a separate email a week later...just reply to the existing thread, asking if they have seen the previous email. If you can do that EO or MB...I'll sign up!

Hmm - I assume these makers don't know they're on Product Hunt... I sent them a message via their "Live Chat" over 30 minutes ago... and it says they typically reply back in "3 Hours". Curious, what is the point of having Live Chat enabled if no one is there to answer questions.

@bootstrapio Maybe they are in a different timezone ?

@paulsavage Same timezone. may (hopefully) just be a tech issue with the online chat. Seems like a great product, as we're looking to switch mailing platforms. Nonetheless - still waiting for a reply and hopefully the requirements we do have, they are already offered w/ Mailblast.

Looks great! I've tried are a few alternatives using Amazon SES, that are self hosted like https://sendy.co/ but I love the idea of someone else managing the service !

@hbakhtiyor I don't think Moonmail has any form of automation, yet. There are a few in this space though now - Moonmail, us, Mailget, EasySendy and of course Mailblast.

@hbakhtiyor https://moonmail.io/ does not charge for storing 1 or 1 milion recipients/contacts. We also provide free builtin list cleaning and email verification: https://moonmail.io/email-verifi...

@hbakhtiyor Is so nice , But I tested ZeroBounce(Email validation services) and they are #1 Ranked by Accu Web, They have 98%+accuracy. I tested over 15 services like ZeroBounce(htps://www.zerobounce.net), and I am so satisfied with their services.

If I can't trust a site not to plagiarize, then I can't trust it with my email lists.

@desheikh Arguably, all the text in your hero header is plagiarized. But here's the most obvious: http://imgur.com/2oWLYSn. Be better.

Sendy

@holdenthepage @desheikh Sendy (https://sendy.co) was the first to come up with this line. http://d.pr/TnCX. Was then 'plagiarized' multiple times by others.
