marclou · x · 2026-11-01
marclou recommends MailCheap ($29/mo, fully agentic — send emails via Claude) after beehiiv forced a $139/mo upgrade. The platform's core pitch is radical transparency: live stats showing 99.2% delivery rate (244,812 emails in 30 days), 0.71% hard bounces, 0.025% spam complaints (vs Gmail's 0.1% guideline), and median open/click rates of 33.9%/1.1%, with clear pause/block thresholds and an explained counting methodology.
