# Notifuse

> Notifuse (2.2k stars, v41.0 Sept 2026) is a Go/React app on PostgreSQL 17 with a drag-and-drop MJML builder, campaigns with A/B tests, lists and segments, a visual automation flow builder (delays, branches, webhooks), transactional API and open/click analytics. Sends via Amazon SES, Mailgun, Postmark, Mailjet, SparkPost, SendGrid or SMTP. Since v40 it is Business Source License 1.1 (AGPL after four years; v39 and earlier stay AGPL). Production use is allowed, but six features (over 3 workspaces, SSO, SES tenants, audit log and others) need a paid key. It does not accept pull requests.
