Own your email. Cut fees. Keep your subscribers.
You chose email because you own your audience. So why is your platform charging you more every time you grow? Connect your own SMTP and keep the profit your newsletter actually earns.

THE PROBLEM
Your platform is working against you.
Here's what newsletter creators are actually saying publicly about the platforms they're stuck on.
Growing is hard, customization is limited, and the 10% revenue cut stings more with every paid subscriber I add.

Prices jumped again in early 2025. Scale went from $39 to $49, Max from $79 to $96. And support is still slow when something breaks.

Great for automations, but costs scale faster than my revenue does. There’s no clear path to profitability from a small list.

Why bring your own SMTP?
Three reasons your own SMTP infrastructure is better than bundled platforms.
Who is it for?
Built for newsletter operators who've outgrown their platform.
Mailetic is not for everyone. It's for serious operators who are tired of their platform eating into margins they've worked hard to build.
It’s a fit if:
- Your newsletter is proven — but your platform bill keeps growing Your content works. Your audience is engaged. But every new subscriber means a bigger bill. You're being taxed for your own success.
- You're paying Beehiiv or Substack more than you should Beehiiv raised prices again in 2025. Substack takes 10% of every paid subscription forever. The platform is winning. You should be.
- You want infrastructure control without the DIY headache You've heard about Amazon SES and SendGrid but setting it up yourself feels risky. You want the cost savings without the technical complexity.
- You own your audience — you should own your infrastructure too You chose email because you own the relationship with your subscribers. Your sending infrastructure should be no different.
Not a fit if:
- You're just starting out and haven't sent your first newsletter yet. Start with Substack for free — come back when the fees start hurting.
