Show HN: Anypost – transactional and broadcast email API, 8¢ per 1k

#1

Post by dancablam »

We think it's too damn expensive to send email these days. We built Anypost on modern (non-cloudy) infrastructure to ensure we can offer a top-shelf product without having to hit you with the cloud tax. We're not looking to be the next unicorn. We just want a sustainable product that helps solopreneurs and high-volume senders get their message out without having to worry about the bill.

We're around - feel free to ask questions!

I didn’t immediately see any discussion of deliverability. That’s like the number 1 criteria anyone sending email in production cares about.

Agreed. Our team's background is in deliverability. Our last startup was a deliverability company founded in 2014, grew to ~20,000 paying customers, and sold in 2020 so we know the space very well and have built Anypost around those best practices. Also happy to provide guidance to anyone who needs help with it. I can go into any specifics if interested.

What is the differentiator here? Why would anyone choose this?

Fair question. Here are a few reasons:

- Pricing wins against pretty much any provider (and is an order of magnitude lower than many incumbents). - Especially when compared to SES, we're a dev-friendly, fully modern sending platform and we don't require you to glue a bunch of services together. - We're self funded from previous acquisitions in the space. We're focused on good customer outcomes instead of investor outcomes. - We have a pretty cool templating platform that allows you to write simple markdown instead of convoluted email-compatible HTML.

I was excited to sign up for this. But, I never got your verification email, so I can't sign up. That should be your bread and butter.

We saw your sign up! Looks like your domain has greylisting enabled. Nothing we can do but obey that limit. You should get it if you try again or wait for our retry: Message was greylisted, try again in 1 minute 50 seconds

Ok nevermind, it showed up, but took longer than I expected.

Glad you got it! I'll send you a personal email from me so you can reach out if you have any more issues.
