🚀 Mailcoach Cloud is now available: affordable email marketing for bloggers, Artisans, and entrepreneurs

Original – by Freek Van der Herten – 24 minute read

We're proud to announce that Mailcoach Cloud has been launched. Using Mailcoach, you can create beautiful email campaigns, set up drip campaigns (or any email automation), and send transactional emails.

Mailcoach works well, whether your email list has 5 or 500 000 subscribers (yes, Mailcoach has been used for lists of that size), or even more. And thanks to our sharp pricing, Mailcoach is the most affordable solution compared to our competitors in most scenarios.

Privacy-minded people will appreciate that open- and click tracking is off by default. And to people that require full GDPR compliance, we can proudly say that everything is hosted on EU servers owned by EU companies.

If you decide to subscribe, you can use this coupon code for one month free: ONEMONTHFREE. You can help us get the word out, by retweeting our launch tweet, or upvoting us on Product Hunt.

In this blog post, I'd like to share why we've built Mailcoach, how you can use it, and how we have built it.

Let's dig in!
