Founders who stopped
renting their audience.
โMoved 50k subscribers from Mailchimp. Saving $400/month and my emails actually reach the inbox now.โ
Sarah K.
SaaS Founder
โThe DNS setup wizard alone is worth it. Had SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configured in 10 minutes. No more deliverability anxiety.โ
Marcus T.
Agency Owner
โWe were paying $1,200/mo to send newsletters. Now it's $55 for the VPS + Lume license. Same deliverability. 95% cost reduction.โ

Questions you're thinking
right now.
If you can follow a tutorial and run a Docker command, you can run Lume. We provide step-by-step guides. Most non-technical founders get it running in under an hour.
Everything: the Lume engine, all updates, priority support, the reputation guardrail system, and full access to the campaign dashboard. The only additional cost is your VPS (~$6/month).
With proper DNS setup (SPF, DKIM, DMARC โ which we walk you through) and our built-in Reputation Guardrail that paces sends like a human, deliverability is excellent.
Yes. Export your subscribers as CSV, import into Lume. Takes about 5 minutes. All subscriber data and status is preserved.
Your emails keep sending. Lume runs on your server โ you own the code, the database, and the infrastructure. We're the opposite of vendor lock-in.
Own the Engine.
Rent the Server.
