Ulakhane Reviews and Details

Questions & Answers

1. What makes Ulakhane unique?

   Ulakhane sends your marketing emails through your own Gmail account instead of a third-party sending server. Your campaigns come from the address your customers already know, and replies land straight in your own inbox.

   • Your Gmail, your sender reputation: no shared IP pools and no "sent via" footers from an email service
   • Priced by sends, not contacts: every paid plan has an unlimited contact list
   • Built for Turkey: fully Turkish interface, prices in Turkish lira with VAT included, KVKK-friendly unsubscribe handling
   • No surprises: a free plan with no credit card, no auto-renewal and no long-term commitment

2. Why should a person choose Ulakhane over its competitors?

   Tools like Mailchimp, Brevo or MailerLite charge by list size, often in US dollars, and become expensive as your list grows. Ulakhane works differently:

   • Unlimited contacts on all paid plans. You pay only for how many emails you send (from ₺150/month for 3,000 emails)
   • No auto-renewal: when your period ends we don't charge your card, and your account simply drops back to the free plan
   • Your data stays: contacts, lists, templates and reports are never deleted if you stop paying
   • Fair upgrades: upgrade mid-period and pay only the difference for the remaining days
   • Simple, not bloated: drag-and-drop template editor, Excel import, personalization (e.g. each recipient's name), scheduled sending, and open/click tracking, all in one panel

   If you already use Gmail for business and want a simple way to reach your customers, Ulakhane is the shortest path.

3. How would you describe the primary audience of Ulakhane?

   Small and medium-sized businesses in Turkey that already use Gmail or Google Workspace and want to send newsletters, announcements and campaigns without a complex marketing suite:

   • Small shops, e-commerce sellers and local service businesses
   • Agencies and freelancers managing customer lists
   • Exporters and B2B companies reaching their dealers and partners
   • Associations, schools and communities sending regular updates

   Typical users have a few hundred to tens of thousands of contacts and need a Turkish-language tool with lira pricing.

4. What's the story behind Ulakhane?

   Ulakhane is built by Voltran Yazılım, a software company in Turkey that develops business software (ERP, pre-accounting and e-commerce tools) for local companies.

   We kept seeing the same problem with our customers: they wanted to email their own customer lists, but global email marketing tools were priced in dollars, charged by list size, and felt too complex for a small team. Many ended up sending emails one by one from Gmail.

   So we built the tool in between: the simplicity of sending from your own Gmail, combined with real campaign features such as templates, personalization, scheduling, tracking and unsubscribe management. The name comes from "ulak", the Turkish word for messenger.

5. Which are the primary technologies used for building Ulakhane?

   • PHP 8 with the CodeIgniter 4 framework
   • MySQL / MariaDB
   • Gmail API with Google OAuth 2.0 for secure sending (we never see or store your Gmail password)
   • Tailwind CSS for the interface
   • PayTR for payments
