What you give up either way
- Managed deliverability tuning and provider relationships (Mailgun-managed features)
- Advanced analytics and reporting dashboards
- Concierge migration and hands-on support
- Real-time collaborative editing like Notion/Google-Docs
- AI Agent features (automated copy/image generation and AI-built automations) and OpenAI-integrated spam monitoring
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Audienceful, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
