Who it is for

Frequently asked questions

Is it an alternative to Mailchimp?

Yes, for newsletters and broadcasts: subscriber lists, segmentation, email templates, delivery scheduling, and open/click tracking. The difference is you never pay tiered fees per subscriber, and your data stays on a server inside Egypt.

What is the difference between it and Marketing Automation?

Email newsletters focuses on sending broadcasts and editorial campaigns to lists. Automated behavioral customer journeys, trigger funnels, and lead scoring belong to marketing automation.

Will my emails land in the primary inbox rather than the spam folder?

We configure your sending domain with industry-standard authentication records. Final inbox placement is determined by recipient mail providers, influenced by list hygiene and subscriber consent.

Can I migrate my subscriber lists from Mailchimp?

Yes, export your subscriber CSV from Mailchimp, and we import it preserving subscription statuses.

Our limits

  • Marketing emails require prior recipient consent under the Egyptian Personal Data Protection Law, and securing lawful consent is your company's responsibility; we do not provide legal opinions.
  • High-volume delivery requires an SMTP relay provider that we select and configure with you.
  • The software is from its developer (Listmonk); our work covers hosting, configuration, operations, and support.
