# Octeth

> Octeth is self-hosted, on-premise email marketing software for agencies, ESPs, and enterprises. Customers buy a perpetual license starting at $5,000 (one-time), deploy the platform on their own server (AWS, DigitalOcean, or any cloud), route email through any ESP they choose, and serve unlimited end-clients under a fully white-labeled brand. Founded in 1999, Octeth is used in 138 countries and powers 2M+ email sends per day. The current release is v5.9.1.

Octeth is sold as a one-time license rather than a SaaS subscription. A 10-client agency typically pays $60K–$120K per year on traditional SaaS platforms; on Octeth, the same workload runs on a single $9K–$20K perpetual license, which is the source of the marketed "$400K+ savings over 5 years." A free Community Edition (up to 10,000 subscribers) is available for evaluation.
