Newsletter Self-hosted

Listmonk

Self-hosted newsletter and mailing list manager.

overview

Listmonk is a single-binary, high-performance newsletter manager written in Go. Bring your own SMTP. Excellent for technical operators who want full control.

for growth and lifecycle teams

Growth work lives or dies on targeting and measurement. What matters is whether behavioral triggers can be built without engineering time, whether the event stream supports attribution past the open, and whether deliverability holds when broadcast volume shares a reputation with product email.

Against behavior-triggered journeys, broadcasts, and winback campaigns measured on revenue, Listmonk covers scheduling, event stream, and the suppressions API, and does not cover multi-tenant support. Whether that gap matters depends on how central those are to the build.
