  • Listmonk

    High performance, self-hosted, newsletter and mailing list manager with a modern dashboard. Single binary app.

  • Yeah, "don't" is the correct answer. If you're looking for something feature-rich, production-ready and easy to integrate with, I'd say go with listmonk. Plug in any SMTP server(s) you like and you should be golden.

  • Keila

    Open Source Newsletter Tool.

  • Someone on r/selfhosted built an alternative for Mailchimp called Keila a while ago. (https://github.com/pentacent/keila). I haven't tried it myself but this sounds promising. You can use your own mailserver with it (which I recommend you do not selfhost for business purposes). As it is licensed right now, it should be way cheaper to use this instead of Mailchimp.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
