Managed Listmonk
Managed Listmonk hosting,
with sending included.
Listmonk is a great newsletter tool. Running it yourself is the hard part. Yellaro hosts your Listmonk instance and handles the email delivery, so you get the tool without the server, the SMTP setup, or the deliverability headaches.
30-day free trial. No credit card required.
The catch with self-hosting Listmonk
Listmonk is free and open source. The software costs nothing. Then you discover what “self-hosted” actually means:
- You rent and maintain a server, keep Postgres healthy, apply updates, manage backups and SSL.
- You sign up for a separate SMTP provider and wire it in yourself.
- You configure SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and a Return-Path, and hope you got them right.
- You handle bounces and spam complaints, or your domain reputation quietly collapses.
- You find out the hard way that Listmonk happily reports "1,000 sent" while your provider only delivered 113.
None of that is Listmonk’s fault. Listmonk doesn’t send email. It hands your campaign to an SMTP server and trusts you to have set that part up correctly. For most people, that part is the whole problem.
What Yellaro does instead
You get your own Listmonk instance on your own subdomain. We run everything underneath it.
- Sending is included. No separate SMTP provider, no relay to configure. We send through reputation-managed infrastructure and your mail lands in inboxes.
- Authentication done for you. SPF, DKIM, and Return-Path are set up automatically. Send from your own domain in a couple of clicks.
- Bounces and complaints handled. Hard bounces and spam complaints are caught and suppressed automatically, so one bad list doesn't wreck your reputation.
- Server, updates, backups, SSL. Ours to worry about, not yours.
- Predictable flat pricing. You're billed by emails per month, not per subscriber, with a hard cap so the bill can never surprise you.
It’s real Listmonk. Your lists, your subscribers, your campaigns, your data. We just remove the parts that have nothing to do with writing a newsletter.
Self-hosting vs other managed hosts vs Yellaro
The thing nobody else bundles is the sending. Other hosts give you a running Listmonk and point you at the SMTP tab to figure out yourself. That’s the part that takes the time and carries the risk.
Who this is for
- You know Listmonk (or you've read about it) and want it without running infrastructure.
- You're tired of newsletter platforms that charge by subscriber count.
- You want your subscriber data in the EU and under your control, not locked inside a hosted platform that takes a cut.
Probably not for you if you want to run your own SMTP server, or you need visual automation flows and behavioural triggers. Yellaro sends newsletters to your list. That’s the focus.
Common questions
- Is this the real Listmonk?
- Yes. Your own instance, with full list, subscriber, campaign, and template features. We manage the infrastructure settings (SMTP, server config) so deliverability stays healthy. Everything else is yours.
- Do I need my own SMTP provider?
- No. That's the whole point. Sending is included.
- Can I send from my own domain?
- Yes. Add your domain, drop in the DNS records we generate, and you're sending as you@yourdomain.
- Is there an API?
- Listmonk has a powerful API. A Yellaro API for programmatic access is something we're exploring. If that's important to you, email hello@yellaro.com and tell us what you'd need.
