I sent my first newsletter with MailCheap for 10% of the cost
I just sent my first newsletter issue with my vibe-coded Beehiiv alternative for 10% of the cost 🤗
Marc Lou@marclou · Oct 10, 2026So many people asked me to make it open-source, so here you go:
MailCheap — Self-hosted newsletters on Amazon SES:
💸 $0.10 per 1,000 emails
✍️ Editor with live preview
📰 Multiple newsletters
📝 Signup forms + API
🌐 Public archive
📊 Stats & growth charts
🧹 List cleanup
📬 Bounce + spam protection
→ github.com/marclou/mailch…
92% cheaper than Beehiiv (for me).
Have fun!
