KagazI used to spend $479/month on email marketing — now, with Maillayer's one-time payment, we run all our campaigns for a fraction of the cost. It's simple to use and delivers great results.
Tried a bunch of self-hosted email tools before, but Maillayer just clicks. Super easy to host myself and way cheaper for high-volume sends. Total win for indie hackers.
Get maillayer, you'll be beyond satisfied. I am using it to send updates for supersaas.dev and it worked flawlessly
I tried Maillayer before this release, and it's a great piece of software
