Thanks for sharing this. It did indeed cross our minds that such a award sounds dubious (just by its title!). We've removed its reference. The other awards he has won are genuine and verified by us.

It's AntJanus.

I started out using mailchimp when I had less than 2000 subscribers. It worked great! But now that my mail list is growing, I find it increasingly expensive. Any recommendations on alternative providers?

If you have many subscribers and a few emails sent to them, you can look at SendGrid, they have unlimited subscribers but limited send volume.

Thanks! I actually make use of the RSS to mail feature of Mailchimp (found that service very easy to use). I do have many subscribers with 3~4 mails a week going out to them. Will check out SendGrid.

Hey

I run www.markdownmail.io it's very simple with very limited features, emails are composed in markdown and templated with mustache. Everything is sent using your ses account which allows us to keep prices very low.

Any questions drop me a line

antony@markdownmail.io p.s. you get a 30 day free trial.

Redcappi.com, though I do have connections with them. Worth a try, free to start.

Thanks! Will check it out.

Didn't quite find anything noteworthy in that article. I am in fact surprised that such an article can feature in HBR.
