Priced in CFA francs, naira, shillings, euros and dollars, and paid by Mobile Money, card or transfer. Lekalao runs your lists, campaigns, automations and the e-mails your applications send. The sending goes through your own provider, at their rate: nobody puts a margin on your volume.

The application, as it is

Real screens, not drawings: captured by the documentation in September 2026, with the sample data of a bakery that does not exist.

Your audience and your last campaigns, at a glance.

Subscribers gained and lost over thirty days, opens and clicks, and the campaigns that went out — the page every team opens on.

See the audience

The Lekalao dashboard: subscribers, new subscribers, opens and clicks over thirty days, a chart of subscriptions per day, and the last campaigns.

Write it once, in each language, and see it as they will.

Five editors, one version per language, placeholders in Liquid, links checked and a check for readers before anything leaves.

See campaigns

The content of a campaign in the Markdown editor, with its preview beside it and the buttons to add a language, check the links and send a test.

Journeys that count who is where.

A column read from top to bottom, two branches under each condition, and on every step how many are waiting and how many went through.

See automations

A welcome journey: it starts when someone subscribes, sends an e-mail, then waits up to 72 hours for it to be opened, with two branches.

Who read it, who left, and what it brought in.

Reach, reception and revenue reported by your shop, in your currency — counted by people, not by the machines that open e-mails for them.

See what is measured

The statistics of a sent campaign: sent, opens, clicks, unsubscribes, delivered, bounces, complaints, and revenue in CFA francs.

What it costs

You pay us for the platform. You pay them for the sending.

Most e-mail tools buy delivery wholesale and sell it back to you per contact and per send. Lekalao does not resell delivery. You bring the account, you keep the rate, and you keep the reputation you build on it.

about $10

your rate
whatever you negotiated with Postmark, Mailgun, SendGrid, Brevo or Resend stays yours
no margin
your volume never becomes our revenue

Providers price and invoice you directly; these figures are their published rates, not ours.

Deliverability

It watches your reputation while you sleep

A sender reputation is lost in one send and rebuilt over weeks. You do not have to remember any of what follows: it is on by default.

  • A campaign whose complaints or bounces climb pauses itself and says why, before the mailboxes notice.
  • An address that hard bounced or complained is blocked for the whole team, on every list. Someone who left stays gone.
  • Nothing leaves without a visible unsubscribe link and a postal address.
  • Sending is paced per mailbox: Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo receive what they accept, and no more.
  • SPF, DKIM and DMARC are checked every night.
  • Campaigns and invoices can go through two providers: one never dirties the other.

Everything it watches

Six doors for your applications

Everything the interface does, your code does too.

REST API
JSON over HTTPS, uuids, idempotency keys, 120 calls a minute per token.
Signed webhooks
Subscriptions, departures, tags, bounces, complaints. HMAC SHA-256.
Laravel transport
Keep Mail::to()->send(). Lekalao sends it and logs it.
SMTP relay
For an ERP, a legacy tool, anything that only speaks SMTP.
Events
An order, a basket left behind: one call, and journeys, segments and revenue follow.
Connectors
n8n, Zapier, WordPress and WooCommerce, written and available from source; not yet in their directories.

The first teams

Lekalao is new. We would rather say so.

There are no logos on this page and no quotes: we will not invent them. We are looking for the first teams who send from Douala, Abidjan, Dakar, Lagos or Nairobi — a shop, a publication, a software team.

We set up your provider and your sending domain with you, bring your list across, and read everything you tell us. If it works for you, and only if you agree, a few words of yours will go here, with your name.
