Looking for recommendations on email collection and sending service
Building a blog for my business. Will be custom front end. Need to be collecting emails and send to the collection when a new post is out. Got a few thousand emails currently.
Any recommendations?

Personally, I just go with SendGrid. It's maybe not the cheapest but it's quick and easy to spin it up.
Plus, I self-host an instance of www.mailwizz.com/ on my VPS when I need more fancy stuff.
do sendgrid do mailing lists?
Yup and you can do it all programmatically via their api
sweet. TIL
Hey Alex! I'm a bit biased since I built a service for this, but I'd suggest giving Noticeable (noticeable.io) a try if you'd rather not handle the backend yourself. Otherwise, integrating directly with Amazon SES would be the most cost-effective approach.
thanks for sharing and I'm glad you aren't someone with a 2-3 day streak shilling their product.
however it doesnt seem like a good fit. had to dig to find any sort of API and I can't see how the emails will look like, or how they can look like.
There is a GraphQL API, but I understand it might not be the most appropriate. Just to give an answer, here is how an email looks. For templates, I use MJML (mjml.io/), which is excellent for ensuring consistent rendering across devices, as email clients have very limited HTML/CSS support. Regarding Noticeable, there's currently no UI to customize the default template, but the backend supports custom ones. If you have a custom MJML template, I can easily attach it to your project.
I been using EO since I started with
#jobboardsearch
It's nice to get started because 2,500 subscribers and 10,000 emails per month for free.
Deliverability is also good, which is important.

I’ve been using resend with
#boop and it has a generous free tier. resend.com/
thanks for sharing rod. didnt know about this one
Worth taking a look, it has an API, a nice drag & drop, and there is even a cheaper option if you want to use your own SES thing
I use bento.
Email is "scary" and often a black box so the one thing I want is good customer support, not something offloaded to india where the person is reading from a script. Biggest thing with Bento is you can go into their discord, ask a question, and get a direct answer from the the guy working on bento in a couple hours directly solving your problem.
I know x.com/aarondfrancis, x.com/nico_jeannen, x.com/_etdev, and x.com/dannypostmaa use bento for all of their products.
bento seems to be more for apps and automations. needed something which is primarily for sending emails (newsletter), so I went ahead with kit.
I use it for a newsletter and transactional emails
