Comparison

SendyKit vs Sendy

Agent-first, human-friendly email ops for teams already running Sendy. SendyKit is the layer that makes it operable: API depth, CLI, analytics, doctor, audit, and modern workflows without modifying Sendy core.

Why upgrade a Sendy install instead of replacing it?

Because the licensed Sendy install you already run at mail.thedream.rocks is real operational ground. SendyKit wraps it with a modern cockpit instead of forcing a risky platform rewrite first.

Key differences

Where SendyKit separates

Keep your current Sendy reality

SendyKit lets you keep the licensed Sendy domain and operator habits you already paid for while gaining a modern shell.

Modern operations layer

API, CLI, doctor, analytics, audit, and richer admin surfaces solve the practical gaps Sendy leaves open.

No core-file fork trap

The product is designed as a wrapper layer, not a permanent patch pile inside Sendy itself.

Migration guide

What moving looks like

1

Point SendyKit at the existing Sendy install and database.

2

Run the versioned migrations and verify health with Doctor.

3

Move operators and agents onto the SendyKit API, CLI, and admin shell incrementally.

Choose the operating model, not just the feature list.

If you want ownership, pick self-hosted. If you want a SendyKit-first operator app without running the stack, pick SaaS. Either way, you get the same product philosophy and the same core power.
