Why Plume

Your subscriber list shouldn't cost more every month.

Most newsletter tools charge a growing monthly fee as your list grows. Plume is a one-time purchase — install it on hosting you already pay for, and the only ongoing cost is sending mail through your own provider.

Own it outright

Pay once on CodeCanyon instead of $50+/month for a SaaS plan. No subscription, no recurring software fee.

Your infrastructure, your data

Subscribers, campaigns, and reports live in your own MySQL database — not on someone else's servers.

Send for pennies

Connect your own SMTP account or Amazon SES. Sending 50,000 emails costs a few dollars, not a subscription tier.

No per-subscriber pricing

10,000 subscribers cost the same as 100 — Plume never bills you for the size of your list.

Features

Everything you need to run a list, nothing you don't.

Drag-and-drop email builder

Compose campaigns visually and start from one of 14 built-in templates.

Campaigns

Draft, preview, and send campaigns to a list or segment — sending runs in the background with automatic retries.

Lists, segments & custom fields

Organize subscribers into lists and segments, and store custom fields per subscriber.

CSV & Ghost import

Bring your existing audience in from a CSV file or a Ghost members export.

Automations

Welcome series, drip sequences, and anniversary sends — with per-step tracking.

Open & click tracking

See opens, clicks, and engagement per campaign with built-in charts.

AI campaign copilot

Describe your campaign and get a drafted email — optional, using your own Anthropic key.

Signup forms with double opt-in

Confirmed-opt-in signup forms, plus RFC 8058 one-click unsubscribe.

SMTP or Amazon SES

Send through any SMTP account or Amazon SES — your provider, your reputation.

Multi-brand

Run multiple sender identities and audiences from one install.

Dark mode

A full dark theme for the admin, switchable any time.

5-minute web installer

A guided installer writes your config, runs migrations, and creates your admin account.

How it works

From purchase to first send in five steps.

01

Buy on CodeCanyon

Purchase the license and download the zip file.

02

Upload the zip

Upload it to any PHP 8.2+ host — shared hosting or a VPS, wherever you already pay for hosting.

03

Run the installer

A 4-step web installer writes your .env, runs migrations, and creates your admin account — then locks itself.

04

Add one cron line

Point a single cron job at the scheduler so campaigns and automations send on time.

05

Connect & send

Add your SMTP or Amazon SES credentials and send your first campaign.

What it costs

What you'd pay a SaaS vs. Plume + Amazon SES

Drag the slider to your subscriber count, assuming four sends a month. After the one-time purchase, Plume's only ongoing cost is sending through Amazon SES.

Estimates only — SaaS figures based on typical Standard-tier pricing; SES at $0.10 / 1,000 emails. Plume itself is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.

You keep about 96% of that bill.

Calculated with Amazon SES pricing — works the same with any SMTP provider. Excludes the one-time Plume purchase price.
