The Honest Email Marketing Calculator

When I was building a normal landing page for SimploMail.com. You know the type feature grid, pricing table, big green button I thought no. People don't believe landing pages. I don't believe landing pages.

So I decided to build a calculator and I called it "The Honest Email Marketing Calculator" because that's what it is. You tell it your list size and how often you send. It shows you what you'd actually pay across several popular tools - including ours.

And there is no catch. If we're more expensive for your situation, it'll say that.

I tested it with my own numbers first 1,200 subscribers, sending twice a month. I'd be paying about $1.20/month with SimploMail instead of $30+ with what I was using before. That's not a typo.

I still move way faster than I used to but I definitely slowed down

It really feels good to build applications using AI tools. It s fast and it looks good! I built one myself(simplomail.com) and I love it .
But to keep these AI tools from breaking things, I had to write .
And now that my application is in production, . Because so many times, to make one feature work, it decides to change another feature and breaks it.
I still move way faster than I used to when working without AI tools, but I definitely slowed down enough to keep my application from constant breaking changes.

What a productive couple of days . In just 2.5 days I was able to implement an Email Sequence Automation feature for my email marketing platform project(simplomail.com).

was mostly researching, thinking, planning, and writing the specification.
