Why Hollerpost
Pay for sends, not contacts.
Most email tools charge you more every time someone joins your list. We think that’s backwards. Your list is the thing you worked for.
We’ll show you our math.
Sending 10,000 emails costs us about $1. Card fees are about $1 more. The rest of your $24 keeps the servers running, keeps your emails out of spam, and pays me to answer when you need help. That’s it.
AI that writes with you, free.
It runs on hardware we own, so it costs us almost nothing. We’re not going to charge you for it.
What you’d pay, side by side
Mailchimp prices by how many contacts you have. We price by how many emails you send. Here’s how that works out for a few common lists.
| Your list | You send | Mailchimp Essentials | Hollerpost, monthly | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 500 contacts | twice a month (1,000 emails) | $13/mo | $9/mo (Mini) | $4/mo less |
| 2,500 contacts | weekly (10,000 emails) | $45/mo | $24/mo (Starter) | $21/mo less |
| 5,000 contacts | weekly (20,000 emails) | $75/mo | $59/mo (Growth, includes 1,000 texts) | $16/mo less |

Hi, I’m Josh.
I build websites and tools for small businesses in the Bay Area. I built Hollerpost because the tools my clients were paying for kept getting more expensive for no reason. When you email support, it comes to me.
