They charge $35/month
for emails that cost 10¢
Traditional platforms bill you for contacts. We bill you for what emails actually cost. You get infrastructure you can own, not rent—so your sending reputation belongs to you, not them.
The Email Racket:
How Companies Turned 10¢ into $350
THE 100X MARKUP
Infrastructure providers charge $0.10 per 1,000 emails. Traditional platforms charge $350/month for 10,000 contacts. That's not SaaS pricing—that's a protection racket. You're paying 100x markup on infrastructure that costs pennies.
THE DEVOPS WALL
"Just build your own infrastructure." Sure—after you learn DKIM, SPF, DMARC, IP warming protocols, bounce handling, and navigate 47-page documentation. Most product creators give up and pay the markup tax instead.
THE HOSTAGE SITUATION
Try to leave and watch what happens. Your sending reputation? Gone. Your domain's IP history? Starts over. Your contact export? Good luck parsing their proprietary format. They don't provide infrastructure. They create dependency.
We got tired of choosing between getting ripped off or becoming a DevOps engineer.
So we built the third option.
Ownership-first email infrastructure
Trillion dollar power. Indie hacker pricing. Zero DevOps required. And when you're ready, you graduate to a dedicated IP that belongs to you—not us.
SEND AT COST, NOT AT MARKUP
Your emails run on the same infrastructure powering the world's largest platforms. We charge exactly what it costs, plus the smallest margin that lets us keep the lights on. No contact-based pricing. No per-seat fees. No monthly minimums when you're just testing.

⭐ THE SOVEREIGNTY MOMENT
Your own dedicated IP address. This is where you stop renting infrastructure and start owning it. Your sending reputation belongs to you. Full API control. Custom SMTP. Build exactly the email system you need. Leave anytime and take your deliverability history with you.
I sent 50,000 emails and infrastructure cost me $5. Traditional platforms wanted $75/month.
That's when I realized the entire email marketing industry is built on information asymmetry. They charge you for "contacts" because you don't know that sending emails costs ten cents per thousand. I built Tris because I believe product creators deserve to know the real cost—and keep the savings.
The complete email toolkit, minus the markup
Domain verification in 5 minutes. 8 AI agents writing and optimizing. Intelligent deliverability management. Everything you need to own your email infrastructure.
Radical transparency: Here's what things actually cost
Infrastructure: $0.10 per 1,000 emails. That's it. That's the real cost.
Tris: $0.10 per 1,000 emails + the smallest margin that lets us exist.
Traditional platforms: $0.10 per 1,000 emails + a 100x markup because they can.
One of these is honest. You can probably guess which one.
Ready to stop paying
the email tax?
We're onboarding product creators one at a time. Real people. Real projects. Zero VC-funded growth-at-all-costs nonsense.
Tris isn't for everyone. If you need hand-holding, enterprise sales calls, or someone to blame when things go wrong, traditional platforms have entire teams for that.
But if you're a product creator who wants to:
- → Pay what emails actually cost
- → Own your sending reputation
- → Graduate to a dedicated IP when you're ready
- → Never get held hostage by contact-based pricing again
Then you're our people.
