Indie developer marclou launched MailCheap, a pay-per-send newsletter platform claiming up to 83% cheaper than beehiiv, Mailchimp and Ghost, starting at $19/month — you only pay for emails sent, not dormant subscribers.
New features shipped:
- Per-issue author selection with replies routed to the author
- Bulk tagging, segmenting and deletion of contacts
- Test sends to up to 5 people as any subscriber
- Live stats during sending, left-aligned personal-style emails
The post also demos AI agents operating the product, and highlights this week's fastest-growing TrustMRR startups: Tesla app Camzy ($3K/mo), ChateasyAI ($5,310 in 30 days after 4 months at $0), and Premiere Pro plugin WeddX (+1,906% to $12K).
