Open source alternative to Mailchimp, ConvertKit and HubSpot Marketing Hub
Last verified
Keila is an open source email newsletter tool for managing contact lists, creating campaigns, and tracking analytics from a self-hosted server. A privacy-first alternative to Mailchimp; AGPL-3.0 licensed.
Use Keila when a newsletter needs campaigns and forms without handing the whole list to a hosted marketing suite.
You need advanced marketing automation, ad audiences, and CRM features from a large hosted suite.
Use Keila when subscriber data location and infrastructure control matter more than a large template marketplace.
Your team does not want to maintain SMTP credentials, domain authentication, or server updates.
Newsletter pricing often punishes list growth even when a publication sends infrequently. A creator can build an audience, then face rising monthly costs just to keep the same subscriber list.
Subscriber data is also sensitive. Teams that publish to customers, members, or privacy-conscious readers may not want the list, campaign history, and tracking data locked inside a hosted marketing account.
Creates and sends email campaigns from a self-hosted app, with delivery handled through your inbox, SMTP, or providers such as AWS SES and Postmark.
Manages subscribers and signup forms so publishers can own list growth without routing every contact through a proprietary marketing account.
Supports multiple delivery paths, including SMTP, AWS SES, Sendgrid, Mailgun, and Postmark, which lets teams choose cost and deliverability tradeoffs.
Keila is used to send newsletter campaigns, create signup forms, and manage subscriber lists from a self-hosted app.
Keila can send through SMTP and providers such as AWS SES, Sendgrid, Mailgun, and Postmark. Smaller newsletters can also use their own email inbox.
Yes. Keila can replace Mailchimp for teams that want self-hosted newsletter campaigns and subscriber ownership, though Mailchimp has more built-in marketing automation.
