About Keila
Keila is an open-source email newsletter tool. It offers a drag-and-drop block editor, Markdown and MJML editing, sign-up forms with double opt-in, contact segmentation based on data and behaviour, campaign statistics and an API. It is licensed under the AGPLv3, so you can run it on your own server with any SMTP provider, or use Keila Cloud, a hosted version with small monthly plans based on emails sent and unlimited contacts, where you can also bring your own email server. Keila is a young, small project: it has no complex automation workflows beyond basic sequences, few integrations and a limited template selection, and its development pace depends on a small team. For people who want a simple, privacy-friendly newsletter tool with the option to self-host, and who don't need marketing automation, it is an attractive alternative to Mailchimp.
Best for: Privacy-minded organisations that want simple newsletters they can self-host.
