Origin Story

By Ignas Rubežius

The Problem

MailerLite customers needed transactional email but that's a different product — triggered messages need different infrastructure than marketing campaigns.

Building It

Launched 2020 by the MailerLite team. Growing as a developer-friendly alternative to SendGrid and Mailgun.

What It Means

Shows that transactional and marketing email are distinct products requiring distinct tools.

The Dream

Be the most developer-friendly transactional email service with the best deliverability.
