— ON SENDING —

Most email tools force you to pick between cheap and unreliable, or expensive and over-engineered. Deliverability quietly erodes. Compliance is an afterthought. When you scale, the bill explodes.

SkySignal is the opposite of that.

§ 01 · Capabilities

What you get on day one.

01

Campaigns & variants

Author once, branch into variants for A/B testing, send to segmented audiences. Live preview as you type.

02

Audience management

Drop a CSV. We auto-detect columns, dedupe by email, and track consent. POPIA-grade audit trail by default.

03

Deliverability QC

SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX, and reverse DNS checks. We catch the problems before Gmail does.

04

Smart scheduling

Queue sends for later. Cron-driven worker processes batches on time. Resume on failure, no double-sends.

05

Team workspaces

Multiple workspaces per account. Invite teammates with role-based access. Agency-ready from day one.

06

Honest token pricing

1 token = 1 email. Top up in ZAR via PayFast. Tokens never expire. Predictable cost, no surprises.

§ 02 · Protocol

Four steps from signup to send.

  1. 1

    Sign up

    Create a workspace, configure your SMTP credentials, get 100 free tokens. No card required.

  2. 2

    Import

    Drop a CSV of contacts. We auto-map columns and dedupe by email. Idempotent — re-importing updates rather than duplicates.

  3. 3

    Compose

    Write your campaign, branch into variants, QC the deliverability of your SMTP. Test-send before going live.

  4. 4

    Send

    Queue immediately or schedule. Watch progress in real time. Resend to failures with one click.

§ 03 · Tariff

§ 04 · Frequencies

Questions, answered.

What exactly is a token?

One token equals one email successfully handed off to its recipient's mail server. Test sends count. QC runs are free. Bounces and skipped contacts (e.g. unsubscribed) don't consume tokens.

How is this different from Mailchimp or SendGrid?

Three differences: pricing is in Rands and based on actual sends rather than contact list size; POPIA compliance is the default rather than an add-on; deliverability QC is built into the platform so you find SPF/DKIM problems before your audience does.

Is my data hosted in South Africa?

Yes. Application servers and databases are hosted in South African data centres. POPIA-compliant by design, with consent records, opt-in audit trails, and unsubscribe handling built in.

Can I use my own SMTP server?

Yes — in fact, that's the recommended setup. Configure your existing SMTP (or a provider like Postmark, Amazon SES, etc.) and SkySignal handles the audience, scheduling, and tracking. We can also recommend SMTP options if you're starting from scratch.

What happens to my tokens if I cancel?

Top-up tokens never expire. Monthly plan tokens reset each billing period but unused top-ups carry forward indefinitely. No contracts, no cancellation fees.

Do you have an API?

Yes. The Pro plan includes API access for programmatic campaign creation, audience imports, and send queueing. Documentation arrives at docs.skysignal.co.za with the public launch.

Can I manage multiple brands or clients?

Yes — SkySignal is built around workspaces. Each workspace has its own branding, SMTP, audience, and team. Agencies typically run one workspace per client. Growth and Pro plans include multiple workspaces.

What's the catch?

No catch. We make money when you send email. If you send less, you pay less. If we lose your trust on deliverability, you leave and we lose. The incentives are aligned.
