I've worked with a multitude of bulk email programs over the past 6 years and they all have their pros and cons. There didn't seem to be one that could do it all for me and some are so convoluted I just never got started or I spent loads of hours setting them up only to find out I needed to buy something before I could send 1000's of emails.
Maian Responder is self-hosted, feature packed yet simple to use and once you have installed and setup the system (which is very easy) you can fire away emails without worrying about escalating costs or email limits. Obviously, managing your own reputation carefully is a prerequisite but any legitimate email sender will understand this and not expect software to compensate for reckless email spamming.
Used in conjunction with Amazon's SES as your SMTP you can happily send 2000 emails a day (for FREE) without worrying about a thing.
If you are sick of hunting for a decent self-hosted option, buy Maian Responder and start marketing instead of cobbling together bad solutions.
1) All programs out there charge $10 - per 250 contacts
2) All programs out there will only send X (usually 1000) emails a day
3) All programs are a pain in the a** to set up and are hard as hell to configure and test.
With your program I can have unlimited accounts, can send up to 5000 emails a day (I figured out I can use my godaddy vps server email that allows 5000 emails a day and remove my mailjet membership and it works flawlessly!), Your program is simple to use and understand, and I can do it all for only $30 a month!
I am new to online marketing but this is truly going to help me. This is why I am purchasing your software, it is amazing thank you so much for creating such great software!
David made a excellent script, congratulation for all your work! Very easy to use, great and fast support, templates are very easy to use, css file very well structured. Help files are very usefull and easy to understand.
After a few weeks of searching the web for a email auto responder provider I came across the Maian Responder. The website is very clean and professional in its appearance and was easy to get the information I was after.
The website offered a "Free" trail and stated that version 2 was due out in the next few weeks, so with nothing to loose I downloaded it.
I opened up the files and read the information on how to install it, well what can I say, the script is so easy to install it almost falls over itself trying to help you, it is so easy, within 10 minutes of downloading the files the responder was running on my wife's domain. After logging into the admin control panel and a few clicks I had my first email auto responder up an running, so easy and worked right out the box.
I did have one little issue so I emailed support, within 10 minutes, I had a response from the owner/developer who explained that I had not completed a task prior to the install, so it was nothing wrong with the software just me being eager !!
After several days version 2 of the software was released so I attempted the upgrade, this also was very easy to do. After upgrading the software and testing I decided to buy the software not only for my wife's domain. I can honestly say that the install was just as easy on my second domain and the licencing too was very straight forward. I cannot recommend this software highly enough.
Well done to the developer and I trust more software will be developed over the coming years.
I have been using both Maian Event and Maian Cart for a long time now and they both works like a charm. The best things with Maian Media is the outstanding service that is given to the user of the programs. If you want to change a little bit of code to fit your special needs, or having some questions about setting the program up, they are always there to help you out! Highly recommended!
Over the past year-and-a-half I've been actively looking for a free or reasonably priced self-hosted autoresponder solution. I came across many... from free to paid, from Wordpress plugins to self-installed scripts. They were either too expensive for my tastes, quite buggy or flat out did not perform in a reliable manner. Eventually, I somehow stumbled across Maian Responder.
This self-hosted autoresponder installs in a straight forward manner and has an easy to use front-end interface. Functionally simple without too many bells and whistles and it works fantastic. In addition, David's support is second to none.
Easy to use, this is exactly what ionCube users have been missing, thank you
I am very happy to have purchased this software. Maian Responder is a complete software yet, simple. It is robust and works perfect. To me, what I like is that it is easy to manage campaigns, subscribers and messages. Other software or plugins usually complicate everything to manage. Therefore, Maian Responder has a light appearance and an intuitive environment.
I know that David, gradually, will incorporate new features to improve the Autoresponder, because he listens to users like me, when we suggest new features or logical changes that increase the power.
I have many years buying services and software, but technical support David, is absolutely amazing, fast, and effective
Maian Greetings has always been a favourite of mine and the first Maian script I ever used. I have been using it since about the first ever version and I loved it then, well, I love it even more now.
It is even more intuitive and user-friendly than it was then, and the possibilities are even greater now (eg. the ability to add cards in the shape of Youtube films).
I would say, keep going, keep up the good work
As a small business owner running a Web Design, Development and Management website we need to have a reliable and efficient ticketing support system. I have been using Maian Support on various sites for many years now. There are not very many decent ticketing systems that do what it says it does these days. Maian Support does everything it says it does and a free version is also available which is perfect so anyone can use. However, we purchased the system a long time ago and it was the best business decision we ever made.
The support and help given by David is always speedy, polite and professional. I have had to make contact several times and nothing is ever too small or too big to help with. As a small business owner I would like to fully recommend the Maian Support system for anyone needing a support system. Thank you to David for all his work and continued help over the years since purchasing this system.
