What's powering your newsletter? [POLL]

Email Octopus.

Just started on substack only because I'm working on my voice and content but I'll move to something else at some point once I get more subscribers.

Also heavily considered Revue

Substack, but considering alternatives

Substack

MailChimp

I'm using Mailerlite.

EmailOctopus.

I use my own self-hosted instance of Sendy (https://sendy.co/) running in an EC2 instance on AWS.

I use Amazon SES to send the emails.

If you host your app in AWS, SES will give you up to 64000 email sends per month for free.
After that, it is 0,10 for every 1000 emails.

I have 4000 people on my mail list currently: https://renanmf.com/newsletter/

2: Substack powers VimTricks but we are rapidly moving off of it and building things in-house. So far, we've moved our landing page and our content pages but have yet to move the actual email sending and list management off of Substack.

The poll here will give you only a few data points.

The main player globally is Mailchimp. Take a look at this report showing the market share of email marketing tools:
