   Good tool to improve personal skills and apply in university project !

   I am currently in college and have been using Botstar for over 1 year. For me, learning how to use this platform is quite easy and combined with the promotion, the price is reasonable for students. Thanks to BotStar, I was able to apply chatbot to some SMBs and clubs on campus, thereby developing my relationships and skills.

   🏁 Competitors: Chatfuel, Botbanhang

   👍 Pros:    The price of the pro version is good|Dashboards make it easy for me to review, edit, or update.

   👎 Cons:    It would be great if there were more tutorials and examples of complex, advanced flow chatbots to learn from.

   Love it ! Now I have more time, better mood to improve to product & service quality.

   Pretty good for my business budget. The application of chatbot has helped me reduce a burden when I no longer have to do the same things over and over again.

   🏁 Competitors: ManyChat, Botsify

   👍 Pros:    Having average knowledge about coding and intergrations would help you come up with many potential things.|Can create basic calculations from which to calculate money, total bill.

   👎 Cons:    Need more example of advance tool like api or coding stuff.

   That is a wonderful chatbot .

   It can work as a seller with a smooth conversation with predefined data and collected information.

   🏁 Competitors: ManyChat

   👍 Pros:    "being able to set up all necessary data in conversation to customers with a smooth flow. handle effectively by striving quickly data from cms support with a range of useful and urgent-needed function like scheduling appointments, displaying web in the chat box"

   👎 Cons:    Unless you have an intensive knowledge of coding, you will not be able to spoil all further applicable features of that chatbot

BotStar mentions (1)

• Live chat options for a landing page

  Take a look at BotStar. Can be set up with a full-page interface. You can use it for basic live chat, or you can create very feature-rich automation flows that integrate directly with your other systems. Source: about 3 years ago

• Stalwart mail server (self-hosted all-in-one mail server) now as an admin webui

  And if you are looking for an easy-to-use UI on top of SES, consider this app https://sendy.co/ which is downloadable and self-hosted. Tbh I haven't used it in a few years but it was super useful. I see it's a one-time cost of $69 (used to be $29 but that was over a decade ago). - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Show HN: I built a tool to send 10k emails for $1 via AWS

  For those looking for a self-hosted solution which doesn’t require a monthly payment, there’s Sendy. https://sendy.co/ Mail Layer seems to do a bit more, do pick your tradeoff. As for feedback on the page, the mobile design isn’t exactly broken but it does have a number of problems. It’s so squished at the top it reads:

• What email service do you use for your campaigns and how much do you pay?

  I've been using Sendy for a few years now without any issues. It sends emails through Amazon SES which is dirt cheap ($1 per every 10,000 emails sent). It is self-hosted so you'll need to take server costs into account. It also doesn't have a ton of the automations that MailChimp and other services have, but if you're mostly just sending email campaigns it has what you need. But it's well-maintained and hasn't...

• Starlab Pre-Alpha Playtesting, Mailing Lists, and Steam Key distribution

  Greaaaat.... I could have used Mail Chimp, or any one of a dozen free-at-first then pay-per-month services. Game Dev is insanely expensive already, I only take on monthly subscriptions when I'm cornered so I looked for an alternative. I found Sendy https://sendy.co/ where you can pay once but with the caveat that you have to have your own LAMP server and deploy it yourself. They have a pay service to deploy this...
