Stop paying monthly fees for email marketing.
CloudWizard is the self-hosted email platform that lets you own your subscriber data, automation and sending for a one-time €196. No per-contact pricing, no platform lock-in, no bill that grows with your list.
- €196 once
- No subscription
- Self-hosted
- All six modules included
Best for technically capable small businesses and agencies that are comfortable managing hosting, DNS and SMTP.
The economics
| CloudWizard Full Suite | Example: subscription platform at €50 / month |
| After 1 year | €196 | €600 |
| After 3 years | €196 | €1,800 |
| After 5 years | €196 | €3,000 |
Illustrative: the €50 per month figure is an example, not a quote. Subscription prices usually rise as your list grows. CloudWizard's price is a one-time €196 however large your list gets; what you do pay for yourself is hosting and an SMTP service, which you may already have.

Bounces & suppressionBounce Manager
Every module works on its own. Together they share one subscriber identity, one suppression list and one consent record, so an unsubscribe or a bounce is respected everywhere. As modules are added, CloudWizard extends the shared database and the connections between them automatically.
Is it right for you?
Who it's for
- Technically capable small businesses and agencies that already run their own hosting and resent paying platform rent forever
- Anyone sending permission-based email to their own subscribers
- People who want subscriber data, consent records and sending on a server they control
- Teams comfortable running a PHP application, DNS, SMTP and a few cron jobs, or with someone who is
Who it's not for
- Anyone who wants a hosted service with no server to look after
- Sending to purchased, rented or scraped lists. CloudWizard is built around consent
- Anyone expecting guaranteed inbox placement. That depends on your own sending domain and reputation
What you need
Requirements
- A web server with PHP 8.1 or higher and MariaDB 10.3+ or MySQL 5.7+
- Cron jobs for Mail Engine, Flow Engine and Bounce Manager
- An SMTP account to send through, and an IMAP mailbox for Bounce Manager
- For AI Writer, an API key from your own AI provider (usage is billed by that provider)
What you handle yourself: backups, updates on your own server, and your sending reputation. CloudWizard takes care of bounce classification, suppression, throttling and warm-up limits, and consent logging, but it cannot make a poorly warmed or misconfigured sending domain deliver.
Already have an email system?
Keep it. Let Bounce Manager handle bounces and suppression.
Bounce Manager works on its own next to the tool you already use. It reads your bounce mailbox, sorts hard, soft, IP-block and spam refusals, and suppresses only the addresses that are really dead. Stale addresses quietly wreck sender reputation; most self-hosters have nothing to catch them.

Who builds this
The latest generation of decades of direct marketing and email infrastructure
CloudWizard comes from a long line of working systems. From the late 1980s the author ran a direct-mail operation that sent tens of thousands of physical mailings every week, managed in a FileMaker database of roughly 200,000 customer addresses and more than 100,000 invoices. Recency, frequency and monetary value (RFM) decided who got which mailing, so every krona of postage had to earn its place.
Email joined the operation in 1995, and later self-hosted infrastructure sent tens of millions of emails. CloudWizard is that experience, rebuilt as modules you can run on your own server: consent, bounces and suppression handled as carefully as the postage once was.
