機能ごとの比較

AcelleMail v4.2 と Mailchimp の公開機能ドキュメントから抽出した、約 30 の属性を 7 つのカテゴリに分類しています。すべての は、引用された出典に対して検証可能です。

Email creation

機能 AcelleMail listmonk 備考
Drag-and-drop email builder AcelleMail ships a visual block editor with mobile preview. listmonk uses HTML / Markdown templates rendered through Go templating (custom blocks possible via campaign template body).
100+ pre-built templates AcelleMail bundles a starter template gallery. listmonk ships with default campaign templates and supports user-imported HTML templates.
Full HTML editor Both let you edit raw HTML/CSS for campaigns.
Spintax / dynamic content AcelleMail includes spintax + per-subscriber merge fields. listmonk supports template logic via Go template syntax — subscriber attributes interpolate but spintax-style randomization is not built in.
A/B testing AcelleMail supports subject-line and content split tests. listmonk's campaign model does not include built-in A/B testing.
Multi-language campaigns AcelleMail tracks per-subscriber language attributes for segmentation. listmonk supports per-subscriber attribute fields that can be used for similar filtering.

Lists & segmentation

機能 AcelleMail listmonk 備考
Unlimited subscribers Both tools impose no software-side cap. Limits come from the database and server.
Multiple lists Both tools support unlimited lists.
Advanced segmentation (any-condition) AcelleMail provides a visual segment builder over subscriber fields, behavior, tags, and date logic. listmonk supports SQL-based subscriber queries — flexible but text-driven rather than UI-driven.
Tags Both support tag-style subscriber labeling.
Embeddable signup forms Both generate embeddable signup forms.
Double opt-in Both include double opt-in flows.
Bulk import (CSV) Both support CSV mass import. AcelleMail also supports XLSX and direct DB seed.

Automation

機能 AcelleMail listmonk 備考
Trigger-based workflows AcelleMail Automation2 supports trigger / wait / condition / send / tag-update / segment-move nodes. listmonk supports campaign scheduling and templated transactional sends; multi-step trigger flows are built via API + external scheduler.
Customer journey / multi-step flows AcelleMail ships a visual multi-step journey builder. listmonk supports regular, opt-in, and scheduled campaign types per its docs; multi-step journeys are typically composed via the public API + cron + external scheduler.
RSS-to-email AcelleMail can pull RSS feeds into scheduled campaigns. listmonk supports the same via campaign body templating + scheduled execution.
Birthday / anniversary emails AcelleMail supports date-field triggers natively. listmonk supports date-field segmentation and scheduled sends; recurring date triggers are typically built with a cron-driven script against the API.
Behavioral triggers (clicks/opens) AcelleMail exposes engagement events as automation triggers. listmonk records click/open events that can be queried via API for downstream automation.

Deliverability

機能 AcelleMail listmonk 備考
SPF / DKIM / DMARC tooling AcelleMail surfaces SPF/DKIM/DMARC record generation in the sending-server config. listmonk relies on the upstream SMTP provider for DKIM signing — listmonk itself sends through SMTP and inherits the provider's authentication setup.
Custom sending domain (return path) AcelleMail supports custom return-path on every license. listmonk inherits return-path from the configured SMTP server.
Multiple sending services AcelleMail ships 8 built-in drivers (SES, SendGrid, SparkPost, Mailgun, Elastic Email, Blastengine, Gmail, generic SMTP). listmonk's default backend is SMTP; additional providers are integrated by deploying a community Messenger HTTP endpoint.
IP warmup configuration AcelleMail supports daily/hourly send caps per sending server for gradual warmup. listmonk supports configurable concurrency + rate limits per messenger.
Click maps + spam scoring AcelleMail provides click heatmaps and SpamAssassin-style scoring on each campaign. listmonk records click events in campaign analytics; spam-score scanning is not in core.
Bounce / complaint webhook ingestion Both ingest bounce events. AcelleMail registers webhook endpoints for SES/SendGrid/Mailgun/etc. (see app/SendingServers/Webhooks/). listmonk supports SES, SendGrid, and Postmark bounce webhooks per its bounce-processing docs.

Integrations

機能 AcelleMail listmonk 備考
REST API AcelleMail's REST API is documented at /api and is the same API the dashboard uses. listmonk publishes a comprehensive HTTP API documented at listmonk.app/docs/apis/.
Webhooks AcelleMail emits outbound event webhooks (subscribe, unsubscribe, click, open, etc.). listmonk's "Messenger" model is a one-direction webhook for outbound campaign delivery; inbound bounce webhooks are supported separately.
WordPress / WooCommerce sync AcelleMail provides an official WordPress / WooCommerce plugin. listmonk does not ship a WordPress integration in core; community examples exist.
Zapier / Make / n8n AcelleMail is pre-listed on Zapier / Make / n8n. listmonk is reachable from these tools via its REST API but is not a first-party app on Zapier.
Custom plugin SDK AcelleMail ships a four-pattern Hook system (REGISTRY, EVENT, FILTER, BEHAVIOR) — see Plugin SDK. listmonk extension is via Messengers (HTTP) + REST API; there is no in-process plugin runtime in core.

SaaS / multi-tenancy

機能 AcelleMail listmonk 備考
Multi-tenant workspaces AcelleMail Extended ($199) ships a reseller layer with customer accounts, plans, and billing. listmonk is delivered as a single-tenant product; multi-tenant operation requires running multiple instances.
Subscription plans + payment gateways AcelleMail bundles 6 payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, Braintree, Razorpay, Paystack, Offline) for resellers. listmonk does not include billing or subscription primitives.
White-label / remove vendor branding AcelleMail Extended removes branding for reseller use. listmonk's admin UI is brandable via static asset replacement; the AGPLv3 license imposes source-availability obligations on modified deployments offered as a service to others.
Reseller billing / dunning AcelleMail's Cashier package covers subscriptions, prorated upgrades, and dunning. listmonk does not provide subscription billing primitives.

Operations

機能 AcelleMail listmonk 備考
Single-binary deployment AcelleMail is a PHP application — runs under PHP-FPM + nginx/Apache. listmonk ships a single Go binary that embeds the web UI and worker.
Database — relational AcelleMail uses MySQL ≥ 5.7 or MariaDB ≥ 10.3. listmonk requires PostgreSQL ≥ 12.
Cron / background workers AcelleMail relies on a system cron entry that triggers campaign workers. listmonk runs its own internal scheduler within the same binary.
Localization (UI translations) AcelleMail ships 18 locales out of the box. listmonk supports a Vue i18n locale layer with community-contributed translations.

Cost & ownership

機能 AcelleMail listmonk 備考
License cost AcelleMail Regular is $80 one-time; Extended is $199 (commercial, includes lifetime point/minor updates + 6 months support). listmonk is AGPLv3 — free of license fee with copyleft obligations on modified service deployments.
Lifetime updates AcelleMail license includes lifetime point + minor releases. listmonk releases publicly on GitHub; users pull updates manually.
Data export ownership Both run on a database you control — full SQL access, CSV export, and REST API.
Source code visibility AcelleMail ships full unencrypted PHP source under a CodeCanyon Regular/Extended license. listmonk's Go source is on GitHub under AGPLv3.
総所有コスト

3 つの現実的シナリオでの 3 年間のコスト

Both AcelleMail and listmonk are self-hosted, so the running cost is dominated by VPS + sending service rather than license. AcelleMail figures use the verifiable $80 license + small VPS + Amazon SES at $0.10 per 1,000 emails. listmonk figures use the same VPS / sending budget without a license cost.

Small business — 1,000 contacts, 4× sends/month

listmonk — listmonk (AGPLv3) + small VPS + SMTP $5/mo VPS + $0.40/mo SES (4,000 sends × $0.0001)
$0 license + $180 VPS + $14 SES = $194 total
AcelleMail — AcelleMail Regular License + small VPS + SES $5/mo VPS + $0.40/mo SES (4,000 sends × $0.0001)
$80 license + $180 VPS + $14 SES = $268 total

AcelleMail license adds $80 over 3 years; running cost is otherwise comparable. The decision is feature breadth + visual builder + plugin SDK, not raw cost.

Growing newsletter — 10,000 contacts, 80,000 sends/month

listmonk — listmonk (AGPLv3) + $10 VPS + SES $10/mo VPS + $8/mo SES (80,000 × $0.0001)
$0 license + $360 VPS + $288 SES = $648 total
AcelleMail — AcelleMail Regular License + $10 VPS + SES $10/mo VPS + $8/mo SES (80,000 × $0.0001)
$80 license + $360 VPS + $288 SES = $722 total

Running costs are identical at this volume. AcelleMail license is $80 over 3 years; the choice is automation depth, integrations breadth, and plugin SDK.

Agency / SaaS — 50,000 contacts, 400,000 sends/month, 50 client tenants

listmonk — listmonk (AGPLv3) + $20 VPS + SES, 50 instances OR custom multi-tenant build Single instance: $20 VPS + $40 SES = $60. Multi-tenant requires either separate listmonk instances (50 × $5–10 VPS + ops overhead) or a custom routing layer.
50 instances ≈ $0 license + $9,000 VPS + $1,440 SES = $10,440 total (plus ops time per tenant).
AcelleMail — AcelleMail Extended License ($199) + $20 VPS + SES (multi-tenant on a single instance) $20/mo VPS + $40/mo SES (400,000 × $0.0001) — covers all 50 tenants on one install.
$199 license + $720 VPS + $1,440 SES = $2,359 total

AcelleMail Extended ships a multi-tenant SaaS layer (customer accounts, plans, 6 payment gateways, dunning) that listmonk does not. Operating cost difference comes from running one consolidated install vs many.

移行プレイブック

listmonk → AcelleMail、7 ステップで

ほとんどのチームは 1 週間以内に切り替えを完了します。技術的セットアップは半日で済みます。時間を要するステップは、多段階の自動化とテンプレートの再構築です。

  1. 1. Export from listmonk

    listmonk's admin UI exports subscribers per list as CSV (Subscribers → Export). For the full data set, the public API at GET /api/subscribers returns paginated JSON including subscriber attributes, lists, and tags. Campaign HTML can be retrieved per-campaign via GET /api/campaigns/{id}. Click/open analytics can be pulled from the campaign-views and campaign-clicks tables in PostgreSQL directly if needed for migration analysis.
  2. 2. Get AcelleMail

    Buy the Regular License — $80 on CodeCanyon. Download the ZIP, upload to your server, run the web installer (5 minutes — sets DB, admin user, cron). PHP 8.1+, MySQL ≥ 5.7 or MariaDB ≥ 10.3, ~512 MB RAM minimum. The installation guide walks through cPanel, DigitalOcean, AWS, and Docker.
  3. 3. Configure your sending service

    In Sending Servers → Add, pick Amazon SES (recommended — cheapest), SendGrid, Mailgun, SparkPost, Postmark, Elastic Email, or any SMTP. Paste your API key. AcelleMail handles SPF/DKIM record generation and DKIM signing. Run the test-send to confirm. The 8 built-in drivers live in app/SendingServers/Drivers/Vendors/; additional vendors can be added via the plugin SDK.
  4. 4. Import contacts + attributes

    In Lists → Create List, recreate your listmonk lists with their attribute schema (listmonk attributes map to AcelleMail subscriber custom fields one-to-one). Use Import → Upload CSV and map columns. Tags map directly. For lists over 100k, use the chunked import or seed via the REST API.
  5. 5. Recreate templates and campaigns

    For templates, paste your listmonk HTML/Markdown into AcelleMail's template editor. Merge syntax differs: listmonk uses {{ .Subscriber.FirstName }} Go template syntax; AcelleMail uses {{ subscriber.first_name }} Twig-style syntax. Subscriber attribute access is equivalent. For automation flows, use Automation → New Workflow — listmonk has no equivalent visual builder, so multi-step flows previously built via cron + API can be expressed as visual journeys.
  6. 6. Configure tracking + DKIM

    AcelleMail tracking is enabled by default per campaign (open pixel + link wrapping). DKIM signing is configured at the Sending Server level — paste the DNS records AcelleMail generates into your domain. If you were running listmonk on the same domain, the existing DKIM keys can usually be reused if the sending vendor matches. Otherwise, plan to publish new DKIM records and let DNS propagate before the cutover send.
  7. 7. Test deliverability + cut over

    Send a test campaign to GlockApps or Mail-Tester (free). Aim for 9.5/10. Send your next live campaign from AcelleMail in parallel for one cycle, watch open/click rates against your prior baseline, then turn off the listmonk install. Most teams cut over inside a week.
運用適合性

セルフホストが適していない場合

セルフホスト型メールマーケティングはトレードオフです:低コストと完全な所有権の引き換えに、運用責任を負います。以下のような状況では、マネージド SaaS の方が適しているかもしれません。

  • You prefer Go over PHP for your infrastructure

    AcelleMail is a PHP/Laravel application. Teams that standardize on Go binaries for operational simplicity may prefer listmonk's single-binary deployment model — the runtime + worker live in one process and there is no PHP-FPM or Composer dependency to manage. The tradeoff is around bundled features: AcelleMail bundles visual automation, plugin SDK, and a multi-tenant SaaS layer in core; listmonk users typically build comparable workflows via external automation against listmonk's REST API.

  • You already run PostgreSQL and don't want MySQL

    AcelleMail runs on MySQL/MariaDB. Teams whose data infrastructure standardizes on PostgreSQL may prefer listmonk's native PostgreSQL stack to avoid running a second relational engine. AcelleMail does not currently support PostgreSQL.

  • You don't need a visual automation / multi-tenant SaaS layer

    AcelleMail's bundled features include a visual automation builder, the plugin SDK, and the Extended-License multi-tenant layer with payment gateways. If your use case is a single-instance broadcast list with scheduled campaigns and you're comfortable composing multi-step flows in code against a REST API, listmonk's default feature set covers that without additional layers.

  • Your project requires AGPL software

    Some organizations have a software policy that requires copyleft licenses for self-hosted services. listmonk's AGPLv3 satisfies that requirement; AcelleMail is distributed under a CodeCanyon Regular/Extended license that does not impose AGPL-style copyleft.

3 つの購入者シナリオ

コスト数値は、検証済みのエントリーティア価格と、該当する場合は計算機で見積もったレンジを組み合わせています。数値を比較してください。最適な選択は、上述の運用トレードオフに対するチームの体力に依存します。

  • SaaS team — product newsletter

    状況: 8,000 trial signups + 2,000 paid customers, weekly product newsletter, 4-step onboarding drip, billing notifications.

    listmonk のコスト: listmonk + $10/mo VPS + $2/mo SES. Onboarding drip is built as a 4-step API-driven sequence with cron-triggered scheduled campaigns; 4-step state-machine logic lives outside listmonk.

    AcelleMail のコスト: $80 once + $10/mo DigitalOcean droplet + ~$2/mo SES. The 4-step drip is a single visual workflow in Automation2 — trigger on signup → wait → check engagement → send next email.

  • Marketing agency — 50 client lists

    状況: Email service for 50 small-business clients, average 2,000 subscribers each, monthly newsletter + occasional promo.

    listmonk のコスト: listmonk: 50 instances (~$5/mo each VPS) ≈ $250/mo + ops time per tenant, OR a custom routing layer over a single instance. SaaS billing primitives are not included.

    AcelleMail のコスト: $199 Extended License once + $40/mo VPS + ~$30/mo SES total across all clients on one install. Built-in SaaS layer: per-client login, plans, dunning, 6 payment gateways.

  • Indie newsletter — 5,000 subscribers

    状況: Weekly newsletter, no automation flows, transactional sends for password resets only.

    listmonk のコスト: listmonk + $5/mo VPS + ~$0.30/mo SES + Postgres operating cost. Free of license fee.

    AcelleMail のコスト: $80 license + $5/mo VPS + ~$0.30/mo SES. License recovers ~24 months of avoided SaaS subscription if previously paying for hosted email.

率直な対抗ポジショニング — 切り替えに対するよくある反論

listmonk またはあらゆる SaaS から移行する前に、すべての運用者が検討する 4 つの反論。誇張なしに回答します — これらは現実的なトレードオフであり、最適な選択はチームに依存します。

1.「切り替えのコストは節約額を上回る。」

率直な評価:約 500 連絡先未満のリストでは、listmonk の無料またはエントリーティアの方が、月額 5〜10 ドルの VPS と AcelleMail ライセンスを運用するよりも安い可能性があります — 運用者の時間を勘定に入れる前ですら。損益分岐点は通常 1,000〜5,000 連絡先の間に位置します。判断前にコスト計算機で独自の数値を試算してください。

2.「セルフホストでは到達性が低下する。」

ウォームアップなしに自己管理 MTA を運用する場合は事実です。AcelleMail がマネージド送信サービス(Amazon SES、SendGrid、Mailgun、Postmark)経由で転送する場合は事実ではありません — これらのベンダーが IP レピュテーションを維持し、AcelleMail はキャンペーンとトラッキングを統制するだけです。この構成では listmonk との受信箱配置パリティに到達するのは例外ではなく標準です。

3.「うちのチームに別のツールを学ぶ時間はない。」

もっともな懸念です。AcelleMail の UI は共通のパターン(キャンペーンビルダー、オーディエンスリスト、自動化フロー)を反映しているため、ほとんどの listmonk ユーザーは初日から生産的です。実際の時間消費は多段階の自動化とテンプレートライブラリの再構築です — 数週間ではなく複雑さに応じて 1〜5 日を見込んでください。

4.「AcelleMail がメンテナンスされなくなったらどうする?」

セルフホストはリスクを逆転させます:お客様はソースの永久コピーを所有します。ベンダーの料金変更、廃止、買収によりプラットフォームが取り上げられることはありません。アップデートが停止しても、既存のインストールは稼働を続けます。料金、機能、シャットダウンに関するベンダーの決定が一方的な SaaS と比較してください。

はい。listmonk の管理 UI はリスト単位で購読者を CSV エクスポートし、公開 API の GET /api/subscribers はページネーション付き JSON でプログラム的な完全エクスポートを返します。AcelleMailのインポートはカスタムフィールドマッピング付きの CSV を受け付け、非常に大きなリスト向けには XLSX または直接 DB シードにも対応します。タグと購読者単位の属性はAcelleMailの購読者カスタムフィールドへ 1 対 1 でマッピングできます。5,000 コンタクト未満のリストは半日、広範な自動化ロジックを再構築する場合は 2〜3 日を見込んでください。
AcelleMailの自動化は listmonk のキャンペーンタイプと比べてどうですか?
AcelleMailは trigger / wait / condition / send / tag-update / segment-move ノードを備えたビジュアルワークフロービルダー(Automation2)を搭載しており、複数ステップのジャーニーをコードなしで UI から設定できます。listmonk のキャンペーンモデルは regular、opt-in、scheduled の各キャンペーンを含みますが、複数ステップのジャーニーは通常、公開 API + cron + 外部スケジューラーで構成します。どちらのアプローチも機能しますが、選択基準はジャーニーを UI で表現したいか(AcelleMail)、独自コードで表現したいか(listmonk)です。
listmonk が AGPLv3 のもとで無料なのに、なぜAcelleMailは $80 を請求するのですか?
AcelleMail Regular License($80 買い切り)は、生涯のポイント + マイナーアップデート、6 か月のサポート、コピーレフト義務なしに改変を私的に利用する権利を含む商用ライセンスです。AGPLv3 のもとで listmonk はライセンス料無料ですが、そのコピーレフトはサービスとして提供される派生デプロイメントに適用されます。$80 は別のバンドルをカバーします — ビジュアル自動化ビルダー、プラグイン SDK、8 種の配信ドライバー統合、多言語 UI、そしてマルチテナント SaaS 層($199)への Extended パスです。
listmonk は標準で Amazon SES、SendGrid、Mailgun をサポートしますか?
listmonk はデフォルトの SMTP バックエンドを搭載しており、SES、SendGrid、Mailgun を含む任意の SMTP 対応サービスに接続できます。SMTP 以外では、listmonk の「Messenger」アーキテクチャによりキャンペーンを JSON HTTP エンドポイントへ POST できます。AWS Pinpoint SMS、Verimor、Mailersend、Novu、Google FCM 向けのコミュニティメンテナンスの messenger が存在します。AcelleMailはバウンス Webhook ハンドラーを含む API レベルの統合を持つ 8 種のネイティブドライバー(SES、SendGrid、SparkPost、Mailgun、Elastic Email、Blastengine、Gmail、汎用 SMTP)を搭載しています — AcelleMailのソースコードで app/SendingServers/Drivers/Vendors/ を参照してください。
1 つのAcelleMailインストールで複数のクライアントアカウントを運用できますか?
はい — それがAcelleMail Extended License($199)の役割です。顧客アカウント、サブスクリプションプラン、6 種の決済ゲートウェイ(Stripe、PayPal、Braintree、Razorpay、Paystack、Offline)、日割りアップグレード、督促、ホワイトラベルブランディングを備えたマルチテナント層をバンドルしています。listmonk はシングルテナントプロジェクトとして提供されており、マルチテナント運用には通常、複数の listmonk インスタンスを実行する必要があります。アーキテクチャの詳細は For Developers ページをご覧ください。
AcelleMailと listmonk では必要なスタックはどう違いますか?
AcelleMail: PHP 8.1+、MySQL ≥ 5.7 または MariaDB ≥ 10.3、最小 ~512 MB RAM、~50K までのリストには 1 GB 推奨。nginx または Apache の背後で PHP-FPM 上で動作します。listmonk: 単一の Go バイナリと PostgreSQL ≥ 12。フロントエンドはバイナリにバンドルされます。メモリフットプリントは小さく(Go バイナリはアイドル時に ~50〜100 MB レジデント)。どちらのツールもシステム cron / スケジューラーを必要とします — AcelleMailは OS の cron エントリを使用し、listmonk は独自の内部スケジューラーを実行します。
AcelleMailのプラグイン SDK には listmonk の同等機能がありますか?
AcelleMailは 4 パターンの Hook システム(REGISTRY、EVENT、FILTER、BEHAVIOR)を搭載しています — プラグインは storage/app/plugins/ 配下に配置し、配信ドライバー、決済ゲートウェイ、UI パネル、ライフサイクルフックを登録できます。4 つのパターンと実装例(Postal MTA、Paddle ゲートウェイ、AI プラグイン)は プラグイン SDK ドキュメントを参照してください。listmonk の拡張モデルは Messengers(送信用 HTTP Webhook)と公開 REST API 経由で、コアにはインプロセスのプラグインランタイムはありません。統合コードは通常 listmonk バイナリの外部に置かれます。
到達性 — AcelleMailには listmonk にない SPF/DKIM ツールが含まれますか?
どちらのツールも IP レピュテーションと DKIM 署名は基盤の配信サービス(SES、SendGrid など)に依存します。AcelleMailは配信サーバー設定 UI で SPF/DKIM/DMARC レコード値を直接表示し、設定時にはアプリケーション層で DKIM 署名を行います。listmonk は SMTP プロバイダーの DKIM 設定に依存し、バウンス処理はバウンス処理ドキュメントに従い SES、SendGrid、Postmark の Webhook をサポートします。AcelleMailの SPF/DKIM/DMARC ツール全体の概要は Security & GDPR をご覧ください。
自動化が不要な単一インスタンスのニュースレターには、どちらが適していますか?
どちらも機能します。Go バイナリと PostgreSQL に慣れていれば、listmonk の単一バイナリ配備は運用面でシンプルです。AcelleMailの $80 ライセンスはビジュアルビルダー、自動化フロー、8 種のネイティブ配信ドライバー、18 ロケールの UI をバンドルしているため、将来的に自動化やマルチテナントへ拡張する想定がある場合に有用です。可能な限り小さな運用フットプリントでブロードキャストのみが目的のチームは listmonk、初日からバンドルされた自動化とマルチテナント基盤を求めるチームはAcelleMailが適しています。
