The dashboard inside SendFox is quite a bit simpler (and FEELS like it has have fewer features) than other autoresponders I have used. I think the folder system I suggest below would get rid of the negative side of that feeling and replace it with a positive feeling about the simple visual design.

One of the first things I looked for was setting up a double opt-in for a list.

It turns out that there currently is no simple feature for this.

But the support team was responsive and helpful and got me setup with a workaround.

They even made me a video showing me how to do this, and it wasn't that complicated.

I was also informed at some point that there will be a straight forward double opt-in setup in the future.

My current needs are relatively small, so the lifetime deal was a huge incentive for me and I went for it thinking "what do I have to lose?"

I do not regret my decision. :-)

There is a new feature that automatically creates an email sequence for a new subscriber that seems to have great potential.

Sometimes I do feel a bit confused because there is no "folder" system for grouping things together by project (or whatever).

So I have to remember each time to fill out every detail of an automation correctly (as opposed to just clicking on a folder for "Project A" and having everything autopopulated in the automation (or whatever) according to some kind of settings).

Things I really like:

You can't beat "lifetime" for this kind of price.
Simple interface.
Responsive and helpful support (most of the time, they have dropped a couple of questions that I had to ask again).
You can send any campaign from any email you would like, making multiple businesses or projects possible.
They do NOT charge you multiple times for the same contact on multiple lists ("lists" and "tags" are basically the same thing in their system).
Focused more on content creators than affiliate marketers

Things I would like to see:

Some kind of "folder" system where I could sort automations, lists, contacts, emails, landing pages, and forms by project or "brand" or "business" or something like that so that I can easily and visually see which things go together.

When an automation is run I would like the option to also REMOVE a contact from a list. Right now, in my double opt-ins, when my contact is moved to "confirmed" it also remains on my "unconfirmed" list and can only be removed manually. This is easy with my tiny list, but would obviously be a problem as my list grow.

My perspective is as a small time content creator, and for me this is a great deal for that.

I have started to notice that even some "larger" content creators are using SendFox, so I assume it is good for them as well.

SendFox is definitely worth taking the time to buy and look around to see if it will meet your needs.

The overall feeling I get from the team is that they have a vision for this product and will make it better and better as time passes and that getting in early was good.
