How much do you spend on your Email Service Provider every month?
by

How much do you spend on your Email Service Provider every month?
Zero. I don't have a newsletter, and I'm forwarding all my support mail to and from Gmail
What about canned reposes? You can't use them if you use gmail, so do you use something for that? I am asking because I am working on something that may be able to help you speed up your customer service if you use emails/forums/skype to support your users.
I don’t do canned responses. (not yet at least)
First, I’m not that big, and I don’t get that many support requests.
Second, the way I do things is kinda like "mom and pop shop", i.e. personal, not mechanical. Not only getting human replies makes my users happier, but writing them makes me happier as well.
Ok, good to know, thanks for your response!
I use SendGrid (https://sendgrid.com) for Boxy Suite (https://boxysuite.com) and Amazon SES for Unreadit (https://unread.it/).
SendGrid is costing me 10$ a month for 40k emails (I usually send way less), Amazon SES costs $0.1 dollars per 1000 emails.
Does anyone here spend money on things like Drip or Klaviyo?
I am spending $24.95 using SendGrid 40k emails per month and 10k contacts.
