One-way mailing lists

Manage millions of subscribers across many single and double opt-in one-way mailing lists with custom JSON attributes for each subscriber. Query and segment subscribers with SQL expressions.

Use the fast bulk importer (~10k records per second) or use HTTP/JSON APIs or interact with the simple table schema to integrate external CRMs and subscriber databases.

For everyone

From easy user management with fine-grained permissions, to internationalization in 34+ languages, listmonk is for everyone—individuals, small teams, and large organizations everywhere.

Transactional mails

Simple API to send arbitrary transactional messages to subscribers using pre-defined templates. Send messages as e-mail, SMS, Whatsapp messages or any medium via Messenger interfaces.

Analytics

Simple analytics and visualizations. Connect external visualization programs to the database easily with the simple table structure.

Templating

Create powerful, dynamic e-mail templates with the Go templating language. Use template expressions, logic, and 100+ functions in subject lines and content. Write HTML e-mails using a visual drag-and-drop builder, a WYSIWYG editor, Markdown, raw syntax-highlighted HTML, or just plain text.

Performance

A production listmonk instance sending a campaign of 7+ million e-mails.
CPU usage is a fraction of a single core with peak RAM usage of 57 MB.

Multi-threaded, high-throughput, multi-SMTP e-mail queues. Throughput and sliding window rate limiting for fine grained control. Single binary application with nominal CPU and memory footprint that runs everywhere. The only dependency is a Postgres (⩾ 12) database.
