How to Set Up MailCoach and Save on Email Marketing Forever

At Smart Web Agency, we’re always looking for smarter, more efficient ways to help our clients grow—without spending a fortune on subscriptions and recurring costs. Recently, we helped two companies make a big switch: they moved from expensive email marketing platforms to a self-hosted, one-time-cost solution using MailCoach
Both companies now have their custom email marketing system—set up and running smoothly, without the monthly fees. Sounds too good to be true? Here’s how we did it.
MailCoach is a Laravel-based email marketing tool. That means it’s not only powerful and secure but also something you own. No more renting access to your mailing list. We connected it to a reliable third-party SMTP service and, just like that, they had everything needed to run their own campaigns.

The best part? You get full control. No limits on subscribers. No annoying feature restrictions. With our expertise in Laravel, we handled the full setup, hosting configuration, and SMTP integration for both companies—end-to-end.
But we didn’t stop there. Our team also connected MailCoach with their internal databases. That means their email list updates automatically, pulling the latest contacts or customer records in real time. No more manual exports or juggling spreadsheets.
If you’ve been paying monthly for email tools that barely meet your needs, it might be time to look at alternatives. With a one-time setup and our technical support, MailCoach gives you full ownership and flexibility. Whether you’re running a small business or a growing organisation, we can help set this up for you too.

We’ve done this before, and we can do it again—with a setup that’s tailored to your needs and built to last.
