SendFox Reviews

After years of using expensive ESP I decided in 2026 to invest in more LTD tools, I really like Send Fox and like the automation features and smart pages. I do wish they can add content boxes for more functionality so I have to share more content and my digital products. I also have the Empire plan and I also use a pop up form that integrates with Send Fox. Check out my latest email using Send Fox

I ran a test on mail-tester.com on an otherwise PERFECT domain!

here's the problem:

-1.999 URI_TRY_3LD "Try it" URI, suspicious hostname

meaning; whenever you have a LINK in your emails, it uses a 'sendfox . com. ' link which HURTS your score;

other than that, its fantastic!

SendFox has gone seriously downhill. It used to be a genuinely great, simple email tool — exactly what I needed — but lately it feels completely broken.

I’m constantly running into 403 errors, and on top of that emails aren’t being sent, double opt-in confirmations don’t go out, and basic functionality is unreliable. The worst part: there’s essentially no support. I can’t get a meaningful response, and when I do try to reach out, it’s either silence or dead ends.

I’ve paid monthly for this, so I expected at least the fundamentals to work — and some real customer support when they don’t. Something has clearly gone wrong behind the scenes, because right now it’s borderline unusable.

I was a huge fan of SendFox for many years but it seems it is no longer being supported. Their AI support just had me purchase additional software to intergrate with my wordpress site. That extra purchase doesn't work. Contacted their support to get an undeliverable response. Off to file a dispute with my credit card if I don't hear back by Friday.
This was a simple platform which was exactly what I needed. I don't need all the bells and whistles and monthly fees of mailchimp, etc.

I purchased this deal many years ago and never used it until this year when I got into self publishing.

I was aware that Sendfox was a minimalist, stripped down to only the essentials sort of email tool and i was okay with that.

I couldn't create email templates so that I don't have to start from scratch without upgrading to the Empire plan, weird but okay, but the double optin feature was the last straw.

Suppose you use another tool for lead Gen, a tool that already does email confirmation (in the case for me it was bookfunnel) and you connect to Sendfox via API, despite the leads already consenting to joining your email list in exchange for the lead magnet, despite Book funnels own confirmation email sent, unless they click on the Sendfox confirmation email (the 3rd opt-in at this point) i will not be able to email them. Keeping in mind that at this stage the leads have already downloaded the lead magnet.

The only way to turn off double opt-in, ia you guessed it... Upgrading to the empire plan. At this point you might as well just give that money to another tool that will give you full design functionality, opt-in configuration and full customization features.

Why bother with a tool that puts basic features behind a pay wall rather than adding value add for customers that they can monetize in the empire plan.

I've begun migrating to Mailerlite, if I'm going to pay for a tool, I might as well get the full suite.
