Intent

I need it when

Track email performance and segment contacts by behavior without complex list management

Maillayer provides real-time analytics with open/click tracking, geo-IP breakdown, and flat tag-based contact segmentation. Forms capture leads via hosted, embedded, or API endpoints. Auto-parse bounces and complaints from your provider.

Manage multiple brands or client email accounts from a single installation

Maillayer supports unlimited brands per install, each with independent provider credentials, contacts, campaigns, and integrations. One install can serve up to 10 domains (per license tier), letting agencies or multi-brand companies consolidate infrastructure.

Automate transactional and drip email sequences triggered by user actions or external events

Maillayer includes email sequences with minute-to-day delays, a REST Transactional API for receipts and notifications, and six built-in integrations (Stripe, Firebase, Supabase, Google Sheets, Airtable, custom webhooks) to trigger sends and contact updates automatically.

Deploy email infrastructure on existing VPS or container platforms without external dependencies

Maillayer runs as a single Docker container with SQLite (no Postgres, Redis, or external workers required). One-click Railway deploy or one curl command on any Linux VPS. Built-in Caddy reverse proxy handles HTTPS; everything persists in a single volume.

Send marketing campaigns and newsletters without recurring SaaS fees or vendor lock-in

Maillayer is a self-hosted Mailchimp alternative with one-time $99 payment and lifetime updates. You own the Docker image, control your data on your own server, and send unlimited emails through your choice of provider (SES, SendGrid, Mailgun, SMTP). No monthly subscriptions or per-contact pricing.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • You need a fully managed SaaS email platform without self-hosting infrastructure or DevOps overhead
  • You require per-email volume pricing or usage-based billing rather than a one-time license fee
  • You need email hosting provided by Maillayer itself (product is self-hosted only; managed hosting not yet available)
  • You want a free tier or extended trial; only 30-day money-back guarantee is offered
  • You need support for email providers beyond SMTP, Amazon SES, SendGrid, Mailgun, and Postmark
