appreciate you checking us out! yes the whole "pay per contact" thing even when half your list is dead is not pleasant. we don't charge for list size at all — flat $20 no matter how many contacts. lmk if you need help migrating over, happy to assist.

Please tell him to check it out! If he's spending a lot on email for lead gen, the flat pricing alone will save him a ton. Happy to help him get set up.

Thanks! Would love to hear what you think once you're in there. If anything feels off or missing vs Klaviyo, let me know — still early and building fast.

Hey HN, I'm Nick. TopMail just won Best in Show at Jason Calacanis's LaunchFest 2026. Now I need real users, not judges — so here we are.
The problem: email marketing platforms charge you more as your list grows. A 50k list on Klaviyo runs $790+/mo. On Mailchimp it's $630+. The underlying cost of sending email is fractions of a penny. The markup is enormous.
TopMail is $20/mo flat. Unlimited contacts, unlimited sends. We run on SES, deliverability is solid, and we pass the savings through instead of marking up 10-50x.
Built API-first: full REST API, Node SDK (npm install @topmail/sdk), and docs specifically for coding agents. You can create contacts, build campaigns, and trigger sends entirely from code or from an AI agent. No dashboard clicking required.
AI is built in for generating email copy, subject lines, and campaign optimization — but that's table stakes at this point.
API docs: api.topmail.so/developers. Agent-specific docs: api.topmail.so/developers/coding-agents.
Quick 2-min video showing how TopMail compares to Mailchimp/Klaviyo pricing and a little walkthrough:

I'd love feedback on the API, the pricing model, or anything else. Happy to answer questions.

Can you guys please make an iOS app that replicates the Claude code app to hook into this one problem my hat is that it can’t query live DB etc. all the things we need a persistent client based terminal session for. But the app is really slick, so it would be great to have it with the multiple threads sidebar, etc..
