Maintainer, Email SDK
Sequenzy's most powerful feature is probably those campaigns. It seems useless at first but they are one of the most important things to send to your users. I get to talk to my users 1:1 and help them set it up for their use case. The owner is really active on X, really nice and helpful. He's the type of person to go out of his way to help you, so you get really good support!
Viraj
Founder, SnapCount
After using Loops and Resend, I was looking for an email infrastructure service that had MCP support, Affonso and Dodo Payments integrations, and was affordable. Came across Sequenzy, and the support from Nic has been unbelievable. Migration was done in 24 hours without any issues, and I can run all of my products from a single account.
Jim
Founder
I run a SaaS, and found Nic on X where I kept seeing posts about his email marketing tool, Sequenzy. I decided to try it for email marketing. Literally on the first day, I used it to send a marketing campaign and I got 5 sales. What I like most is the ai assistant because it actually writes emails that feel real instead of the usual ai slop chatgpt returns, so they do not end up in spam. It also has a 2.5k free email limit which is way better than most tools that only give you around 1k. The best part though is that it handles everything for me, tags, subscribers, sequences and all of it. Without it i would probably be managing a database and a bunch of cron jobs just to make email automation work. Sequenzy just makes my life a lot easier. it can also be set up with 2-3 clicks! Give it a try!!
Dhiva Logu
Founder
I love everything about Sequenzy and also the kind of support I get from Nic. It's already the best choice for campaigns & Sequences. Specially the integrations with payment providers, auth providers & analytics etc.. is really spot on. Best in terms of features & pricing in the email segment 100% recommend it for SaaS emails :)

Petros
Shopify App Store review
The setup was fast and simple. It synced customer, product, and order data quickly. Generating automated flows was simple, and it improved my monthly bottom line by about 7%.
Elvis Sun
Founder, PressPulse & Medialyst
Codex basically one-shotted the migration for syncing our audience from SendGrid to Sequenzy. Sequenzy is fully observable, so agents can just set everything up. The net impact is saving $45/mo, plus 2 hours of my time every time I need to repurpose a newsletter. That's 8 hours a month. My consulting rate is $550/hr, so every hour automated is super valuable.
Caden Sumner
Solo founder, Moxie Docs
Lifecycle email was the kind of thing I knew I would need eventually, but have never had to build it out myself and had no idea where to start. In literal hours I had a fully working (but basic) flow for onboarding new users, detecting churn, and re-engaging people who have trials lapsing to hopefully convert. Sequenzy let me offload the entire “keep users engaged and recover the ones who are slipping” workflow to something that just runs. Every hour I'd have spent building and babysitting lifecycle emails went into shipping the actual product instead.
Louis
Founder
Easy migration from another tool. Premium customer service and easy to set everything up
Jim
Founder, FixMyLanding
It helped me grow to $100 MRR, get #1 on Uneed, make more sales, get acquired. I literally love Sequenzy, it's so simple, I love the dashboard. I also saw the integrations and was shocked. 3 sales today, all thanks to Sequenzy. Honestly, thanks.
King Killers
Shopify App Store review
Loving the Sequenzy app so far due to the affordability and large subscriber limits. Planning on this becoming my main email app. Campaign + flows setup with the help of their AI took less than 30 minutes.
