Keep Mail Blaze, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Mail Blaze you would be making newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $108 a year.
What you could make
- Surveys and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- Mail servers with a good name among inbox providers.
What this rests on. Mail Blaze’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
