The newsletter platform that owns its pipes — and doesn't charge you for your audience
Newsletters, broadcasts, and automations on delivery infrastructure we run ourselves. Unlimited contacts on every plan — we price sending, not the size of your list.
Who actually sends your newsletter?
It's a question worth asking your current platform: every newsletter platform we surveyed rents its delivery: beehiiv's status page lists SendGrid components; Buttondown's subprocessor list names Mailgun and Postmark; Substack sends through Mailgun (verified on their own public pages, July 2026).
Email Fast is the other kind of company: Email Fast runs its own mail transfer agent, warmup engine, reputation breaker, and per-tenant fair queue — the pipes are ours, not resold. Deliverability isn't a partnership — it's our own engineering, accountable to you.
Own your audience — structurally, not as a slogan
- Your list is portable. Export everything, always. Contacts, consent records, engagement history.
- Your archive is yours. A public, search-indexable web archive on your domain, with RSS — readers can find and follow you outside the inbox.
- Your revenue is yours. Paid subscriptions are built in; the platform fee doesn't scale with your success.
- Your consent records hold up. hosted signup forms with double opt-in through our own delivery path, so every subscriber carries verifiable proof of consent.
Send like the big senders do
| Capability | What you get |
|---|---|
| Broadcasts & segments | Predicate-based audiences — send to exactly the right slice |
| Automations | A durable, crash-safe journey engine with a visual canvas |
| A/B testing | Subject and content tests with statistics that don't lie to you |
| Preference center | Readers opt down to fewer emails instead of leaving entirely |
| One-click unsubscribe | one-click unsubscribe per RFC 8058, with the headers signed under DKIM so stripping them in transit breaks the signature |
| Honest metrics | open tracking that refuses to lie: privacy-proxy prefetch “opens” are detected and not counted as human reads |
Some platforms report privacy-proxy prefetches as opens because bigger numbers feel better. Ours will read lower — and be true. You can't grow on numbers that lie to you.
Templates without the table-HTML misery
Design in MJML or Handlebars with versioning and per-template variable schemas. Responsive output, Gmail-clipping warnings at author time, and a strict lint that makes template injection structurally impossible.
When you're ready to get serious about deliverability
Warmup, reputation circuit-breakers, per-provider signals, bounce classification that never deletes a deliverable address by mistake, and complaint feedback loops that suppress on the first spam report. It's all one platform — how deliverability works →
Questions, answered plainly
Do you charge per subscriber?
No: contacts and subscribers are never billed — we price sending, not the size of your audience. Grow to a million subscribers and your list itself never raises your bill — only what you actually send.
Can readers pay for my newsletter?
Paid subscriptions are built in (card processing via Stripe), with free and paid tiers per publication. The feature arms with billing at launch — see pricing for status.
Do I get a public archive and RSS?
Yes — every publication gets a hosted, search-indexable web archive, per-issue pages, a subscribe page, an RSS feed, and signed "view in browser" links.
How do signups work?
hosted signup forms with double opt-in through our own delivery path, so every subscriber carries verifiable proof of consent. Embed the form or link to the hosted page — no frontend work required.
Who actually delivers my email?
We do — and that is rarer than it sounds: every newsletter platform we surveyed rents its delivery: beehiiv's status page lists SendGrid components; Buttondown's subprocessor list names Mailgun and Postmark; Substack sends through Mailgun (verified on their own public pages, July 2026). With Email Fast there is no upstream reseller: the same company that hosts your archive runs the mail servers your issues leave from.
