A Useful Tool Given The Price
Since the base deal is a "freebie" I set my expectations accordingly. As a blogger I think Postaga is a useful tool for outreach--with a few caveats.
First, with only six campaigns per month this is best used for 'important' blog posts. Personally I would like to see 10-15/month but, hey, it's free so I can't really complain. :)
Second, as other reviewers have said, a Postaga-branded email signature will probably do more harm than good. Better to export the contacts and use the email templates as a guide for emails using your own email client.
Third, and probably most important, there appears to be no built-in method of determining the quality or "authority" of the discovered websites for outreach. I have been opening Postaga-suggested sites in a new browser tab and using Moz-bar to see the Domain Authority (DA) to determine whether a site is "worth my while." It would be nice for Postaga to have some kind of authority-like score built-in to avoid an extra step in my outreach process.

Integrating with Ahrefs/Moz is actually on our roadmap so stay tuned!
As far as the custom signature:
Our data shows no difference in the reply rate between users with a custom signature and users with a default signature.
Instead, what we've found is that if you craft a good outreach email, people will respond to the text of your email, not your email signature. Remember, effective email outreach isn't about taking - it's about providing value. If you make it clear the value that you're providing in your emails, people will respond and respond positively :)
