About Mailcoach
What is Mailcoach?
Mailcoach is a self-hosted email marketing platform built for creators, developers, and businesses who want full control over their data and costs. Unlike traditional tools that charge per contact, Mailcoach charges per email sent—saving you €200 to €1,000/month as your list grows.
Who is it for?
It's ideal for SaaS founders, Laravel developers, digital creators, and growing teams who need campaigns, automations, and transactional emails without per-subscriber pricing. If you prefer fully managed email delivery, you may want a hosted alternative.
