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.
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!
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.
I have been developing web sites since the 90s. I have several of your scripts and decided it's time to send you a testimonial which I feel you rightly deserve.
Like all your other scripts that I have the pleasure of owning and using, your support script is the same quality as your other scripts, right from the same ease of installation, the same intuitive design, right up to the same ease of use, and you keep them updated, you certainly have a talent for this.
I have so many other scripts from other programmers that are all so often missing features, never updated, etc., so please keep up this great work.
I use Maian Music and Maian Affiliate, they work in conjunction with each other and I have found them really helpful for me. The support is second to none. The free trial is a super idea to test out if any of the Maian software is suitable for your use. I purchased commercial licences for my Maian software, low cost, good value and I highly recommend the products and the company.
So far I really like everything you guys did with this program - very clean UI and it has all the features I was looking for. I'm very excited to be able to use this for my coming up ad campaigns
This is EXACTLY what i was looking for
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
I have really respected the Maian Help Desk system after one of our IT staff researched and recommended it in 2015. We have been using it ever since, but recently needed to upgrade from 3.6. Now I have the feel for the 4.1 after setting it up on one help desk and it is a complete WOW.
It works beautifully. Thank you Sir for creating, maintaining, and updating this beautiful software.
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!
