About Mailcoach
Email Marketing for Developers, by Developers
Mailcoach is a Belgian email marketing platform built by Spatie, one of the most respected Laravel development agencies in Europe. It offers both a cloud SaaS and a self-hosted Laravel package, giving developers full control over their email infrastructure.
Two Deployment Options
Mailcoach lets you choose how to run your email marketing:
- Cloud (SaaS): Managed hosting with a simple web interface for creating campaigns, automations, and transactional emails
- Self-hosted: Install Mailcoach as a Laravel package on your own server, connecting to any SMTP provider (Amazon SES, Postmark, SendGrid, Mailgun, or your own)
- Per-email pricing: The cloud version charges per email sent (starting at EUR 0.0005/email) rather than per subscriber. No monthly minimum
- Automation: Build multi-step workflows triggered by tags, subscriptions, or custom events
- Template editor: Create emails with a drag-and-drop builder or raw HTML
- Transactional email: Send order confirmations, password resets, and other triggered emails alongside marketing campaigns
Why Developers Choose Mailcoach
For teams that want the simplicity of MailerLite but with developer-friendly pricing and the option to self-host, Mailcoach fills a unique niche. The self-hosted version is particularly popular with agencies and SaaS companies that want complete ownership of their email marketing infrastructure.

Spotted something wrong?
Martech moves fast. Vendors change hosting regions, get acquired, publish a new DPA or rewrite their pricing, and they rarely announce it. We check what we publish and date every compliance review, but some of what you see here will be out of date before we catch it.
