#32Congrats on the launch!
Any plans to support multiple channels? (SMS, push, etc) And are you in the long run looking to compete with Braze, Airship, etc?

We’ve moved companies off of Braze already, but we still need to add multi-channel support. We’ll likely add it in the future unless customer needs materially change.

#34Isn't 98% of email about having a clean IP range these days?

#35I’ll be needing email soon for what I’m building, I may try this. I’ve worked on emails at a past startup and would like to avoid the dread…
I will say I find the pricing quite concerning. Free until 1000, 50 / 5000, but then I have to contact you? Am I understanding correctly, 5000 subscribed users doesn’t seem like that much.
For what it’s worth I went to customer.io to compare pricing and found there’s so confusing I was lazy to figure it out…so I do appreciate the simplicity

#36This looks like a really nice and polished product, I am in the same space, I've been working for a while on a similar project, pretty much feature parity but with one caveat, it's pay-once and use forever (1 year of free updates), self-hosted, no dependencies, one binary.
I'll be keeping a closed eye to you guys, it's pretty much what I wanted when I started my project.

Nope, hit “view pricing tiers” on the pricing page for a full list of pricing up to 100k contacts.
It needs to not be hidden behind a button, that’s on the list.

#38How does this contrast with sendgrid? We use their api and do not upload contacts to them.....
this is a layer on top of sendgrid. common functionality that a lot of users have to implement before any sendgrid api endpoint is invoked.
Have you thought about integrating with Sendgrid? Eg, if I'm set up on sendgrid NOW and could just plug that in and start using the service.
(I'm actually using Mailgun FWIW)

#39This is great, congrats on the launch. I can't wait to get away from customer.io but unfortunately the Make.com integration is a necessity for us. As soon as you have that, we'll be customers!

Ah missed it, thanks
