    question: 'What is the main difference between Plunk and MailerLite?',
    answer:
      "The main difference is that Plunk is open-source and self-hostable, while MailerLite is proprietary SaaS. Plunk uses pay-per-email pricing versus MailerLite's pay-per-subscriber model. Both are developer-friendly, but Plunk is API-first with full code transparency, while MailerLite focuses more on visual email builders with good API support.",
  },
  {
    question: 'Is Plunk more expensive than MailerLite?',
    answer:
      'It depends on your usage pattern. MailerLite charges based on subscriber count (e.g., $10/month for 1,000 subscribers), while Plunk charges per email sent. If you have a large subscriber list but send infrequently, Plunk is typically cheaper. If you email your entire list frequently, costs are similar. The key difference is predictability: Plunk only charges for actual usage.',
  },
  {
    question: 'Can I self-host Plunk unlike MailerLite?',
    answer:
      'Yes. Plunk is open-source (AGPL-3.0) and can be self-hosted using Docker. This gives you full control over your data, infrastructure costs, and compliance requirements. MailerLite is cloud-only with no self-hosting option. Self-hosting is ideal for privacy-sensitive use cases or cost optimization at scale.',
  },
  {
    question: 'Does Plunk have a drag-and-drop builder like MailerLite?',
    answer:
      "Plunk has a basic email editor, but most users manage templates using HTML/code for full control, version control, and reusability. MailerLite excels at visual drag-and-drop building for non-technical users. If you're a developer who prefers code-based templates, Plunk is better. If you need rich visual builders for marketers, MailerLite is better.",
  },
  {
    question: "How does Plunk's API compare to MailerLite?",
    answer:
      "Both have modern REST APIs, but Plunk's API is designed with developers as the primary user. Plunk prioritizes API-first workflows, making it easier to integrate email into your application. MailerLite has a good API but is built UI-first with API as secondary. For programmatic email sending and automation, Plunk offers a superior developer experience.",
