Don't compete on price (or free).
White labelling and email deliverability is critical. I pay SendGrid for a dedicated IP etc.
The spam/delivered/junk webhooks are also high on the offering.
You could compete on send speed, web portal speed... lots of things here. Free isn't one of them :)

Transactional payments would be interesting (no monthly fee).
Otherwise it's yet another mailer service - just a bit cheaper.-

Do you mean pay per " number of emails sent" ?

Exactly. No monthly fee, but 1 email costs x cents.
It could be a niche for e.g. bootstrappers that just start out.
Helps to keep the costs down in the beginning and it would allow for an up-sell opportunity when they grow.

Hello, can you explain what you mean?

I checked your landing page, any reason why you can only pay in "dodgy" ways? I wouldn't trust a company with no Credit Cart payments and no company name/address.

You’re calling Bitcoin dodgy? Okay.
Office address is mentioned on our Privacy page.
Customers can pay with Credit card or PayPal, they need to ask for this option.
The reason they have to ask and it’s not linked anymore on our homepage:
To avoid scammers for abusing our SMTP Service and doing charge backs (or the owners of the stolen credit cards doing chargebacks).
Unfortunately e-mail industry has a lot of spammers and scammers that abuse SMTP service and purchase with stolen cards. To protect our business and our existing customers who have been with us since 2017.
A single charge back can cost between 20 to 50 USD apart from the refunded payment.
To avoid all these drama I had to go this way. Hope you understand.
Customers that paid with Credit card or PayPal, can find the Manage billing link in the footer (which is handled by 2Checkout) and edit their info / subscription.
Thanks for your time and feedback.

Thanks for the response!

I thought that it is a known fact that crypto are mostly used for trading and illegal transactions (especially in the cases where it's the only payment method accepted, it raises a big question mark). Personally, when I think of someone requesting a BTC payment it's usually for a scam or for completing a transaction without emitting an invoice.

I checked the Privacy page but I couldn't find any company name (LLC), so this combined with the exotic payment methods made me not consider your service (as a potential customer).I wish you good luck with your project!
