Volanea

Volanea is an email platform that puts transactional email, marketing campaigns and lifecycle automation on one shared contact record — so segments, suppressions and analytics stay consistent no matter how an email was sent.

Who it's for: developers and small product/SaaS teams who want one place for app emails and marketing emails, without stitching together separate tools.

Key features

• Transactional API — send with a single /v1/send request: templates, variables, attachments, idempotency keys
• Campaigns & living segments — broadcasts to audiences that update automatically; entering or leaving a segment can trigger workflows
• Workflows — event-triggered journeys with delays, branches and waits
• Deliverability guard — continuous bounce/complaint monitoring with graduated enforcement (warn, throttle, pause)
• Domain authentication — DKIM, SPF and DMARC verification for sending identities
• Templates with {{variable}} substitution and version history
• Signed webhooks (HMAC) with retries, logs and replay
• Analytics — delivered/opened/clicked per email, campaign and contact, plus an event feed
• Test mode keys that render and log emails without delivering them
• MCP server so AI coding agents can set up domains, templates and workflows and verify sends
• Integrations — WordPress plugin, Strapi and Medusa providers
• Migration guides from Resend, SendGrid, Mailgun, Postmark, Mailchimp and Plunk

Pricing: Free plan with 1,000 emails/month (all features, no card required, unlimited contacts). Paid plans from $5/month for 7,500 emails.
