## About

Description

Maillayer is a self-hosted email platform you buy once and run on your own server. It replaces Resend and similar subscription tools by connecting to Amazon SES, SendGrid, Mailgun, Postmark, Cloudflare Email, or SMTP for delivery, so your sending costs stay at your provider's rate rather than a per-contact fee. It handles campaigns, drip sequences, transactional email, contacts, and forms in one SQLite-based container, with built-in Stripe, Firebase, Supabase, Google Sheets, and Airtable sync, plus a generic webhook for anything else.

## More details

Pros

- One-time payment, no subscription or per-contact pricing
- Unlimited emails through your own provider account

Cons
