Dittofeed at a glance

Checked 16 Oct 2026

Dittofeed (3.0k stars, v0.23.0 Dec 2025, commits through Oct 2026) sends one-off broadcasts and automated, event-based journeys to user segments over email, SMS, push, WhatsApp and Slack, with an HTML/MJML or low-code template editor and message analytics. MIT core; multi-tenancy, embedding and white-labeling are in a separate licensed closed-source codebase. Self-hosting uses Docker Compose with PostgreSQL and ClickHouse, and email goes out through a provider such as SendGrid or Amazon SES. It is built for product messaging, not newsletters: no sign-up forms, archive or paid subscriptions.
