Email campaigns and transactional mail, without a per-subscriber bill.
Access is granted by the platform while self-serve billing is being built. Pricing is planned, not a live checkout.
What you can do today
- Forms that fit a static siteA public key, allowed origins, spam checks, and a Jekyll include that still works when JavaScript is off. An optional script keeps people on the page.
- Double opt-in by defaultSubscribers confirm with a button, not by an inbox scanner opening a link. Tokens expire in 72 hours and are single-use.
- Campaigns and a visual editorWrite in Markdown or build with blocks. Preview on desktop and mobile, send a test, schedule, or send now.
- Transactional and marketing togetherOne set of domains, keys, suppressions, and reports. A small, template-based send API for receipts, notes, and other app mail.
- Your domain, and a real postal addressSend from a domain you verify. Marketing mail cannot go out until a postal address is on file, and every campaign carries that address, unsubscribe, and preferences.
How it works
Step 1
Create a site and verify your domain
Add the DNS records the admin shows (DKIM, MAIL FROM, and DMARC). Campaigns only send from a verified domain of that organization.
Step 2
Embed the signup form
Drop in the Jekyll include or POST to the public endpoint. New subscribers confirm by email.
Step 3
Send
Draft a campaign or call the send API. Hard bounces and complaints are suppressed automatically, and reports show deliveries, clicks, and unsubscribes.

How Relay compares
| Relay (planned) | Typical marketing tools | Amazon SES direct | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing | By emails sent, not stored contacts | Usually by contacts (Mailchimp, Kit, MailerLite, Loops) | $0.10–$0.16 per 1,000 emails, no product UI |
| Static-site form | Yes, including a Jekyll include | Forms exist; rarely this simple on a static host | You build it |
| Marketing + transactional | One product | Often split or an add-on | You build both |
| Your domain | Yes, after you verify DNS | Yes, on paid plans in many cases | Yes, if you set it up |
| Automations, A/B, landing pages | Not yet | Yes, especially on paid plans | No |
Relay is a good fit if you want campaigns and transactional mail on your own domain, and you do not want to pay for every address you store. It is the wrong choice if you need a full automation builder today. Competitor prices cited on the pricing page are as of November 2026 and link to each vendor’s source.
