Sendy Alternative – BigMailer

BigMailer is a hosted alternative to Sendy, that allows sending email via Amazon SES. Fast sending speed, drag-and-drop editor, advanced reporting and segmentation, automations, are some of the top benefits of switching to BigMailer. Setting up on BigMailer doesn’t require technical skills and experience is optimized for managing multiple brands and high volume senders.

Why You Should Consider a Sendy Alternative

The main issue we keep hearing from our customers switching from Sendy is slow sending speed. When you host Sendy on your own server, your sending rate is limited by the server capacity you host Sendy on. When you host Sendy on a small/cheap server your marketing campaigns may take many hours to go out, which doesn’t allow you to optimize your engagement for best open rate.

User Management

BigMailer and Sendy both support:

  1. Multiple brands, users, and SES connections.
  2. Multiple SES connections.
  3. Use of dedicated IPs at $25/IP/month via Amazon SES.
  4. Bulk, automation, and transactional campaigns.
  5. HTML template editor.
  6. White-label option.

However, there are some differences in how certain features are supported and priced:

  1. Sendy does not support multiple users under a brand, while BigMailer offers access management for each brand. BigMailer is optimized for agencies, multi-brand organizations, and large teams.
  2. BigMailer allows you to have unlimited custom domains at no extra cost, while Sendy requires you to purchase additional license – $20 for 1 domain, $48 for 5 domains. Custom domains are used for tracking links and help improve deliverability and inboxing.
