Which email platform do you use?

I'm looking into using an email service (like Mailchimp), for managing and sending marketing emails for my product. I also heard about an app called Flodesk recently. I've had some experience with Substack for newsletters as well.

What are the other ones out there that I'm missing?

What does everyone else use?

    Hey Thomas!

    I don't use Substack personally but a lot of Indiehackers seem to love it for newsletters and so I'd definitely suggest that you give it a try if it fits in with what you're trying to do.

    Apart from that, Mailchimp is definitely one of the tried-and-tested platforms so I give them props for that.

    Personally, I've recently been using Sendinblue for one of my recent projects and I've had a great experience! I'm also a big fan of SendGrid because it's robust and has a nice API.

    Some others I've tried but haven't used them enough to give a proper opinion:

    Hope that helps!

      Oh this is awesome. Thanks for sending! SengGrid is definitely legit but might be overkill for what I'm after.

      I've for sure heard of ConvertKit too, have you used that personally?

        Fair point about SendGrid which is why I specifically mention its API - it's nice to work with from a "Dev" perspective but maybe not the best from a "seller" perspective.

        I've had a brief interaction with ConvertKit maybe ~4 months back and it's a legit product. Unfortunately, it just wasn't what I was looking for personally at the time but if you're a digital creator, I would recommend it whole-heartedly as a very good option 👍.

          Awesome, thanks for your reply!
