Zagomail
"Don't build another email platform—build the one that actually works when you hit 'send'."
"Desperation for affordable Mailchimp/ConvertKit alternative. Price ($69 LTD) vs. competitors ($29+/month) creates irresistible value perception."
Email deliverability is hard. Poor IP reputation kills campaigns. Must invest in proper infrastructure, not just cheap SMTP. Unlimited emails on LTD could attract spammers.
The 4-Dimension Scorecard
$97k revenue proves strong demand for affordable email marketing. Users are desperate for Mailchimp alternatives.
3.41 rating with 141 reviews screams opportunity. Users hate the unreliability but need the functionality. High churn = high potential to capture.
Unlimited emails on LTD is risky but not catastrophic. The real cost is support, not infrastructure. Static email tools can be profitable.
Competitors are ConvertKit/MailerLite (expensive) vs. this (broken). Gap exists for reliable, affordable middle ground.

Use this angle to position your product against the generic competitors. Focus on the specific pain points identified in the "Pain & Gaps" module.
The "Buggy Clone" Syndrome
- Emails don't send. Platform goes down for days. Support ghosts users. Basic reliability failures destroy trust.
Sniper Verdict
"Listen to the hate. Build the cure. Steal the revenue."
The Battle Plan
"Zagomail proves there's massive demand for affordable email marketing but fails at the basics. Users don't need more features—they need emails to actually send and the platform to stay up. Build a stripped-down, rock-solid alternative."
