Getting started with askghost

What askghost does

Some of your users quietly stopped showing up. They won't tell you why in an in-app survey — they don't open your app anymore. The one channel that still reaches them is email.

askghost sends those dormant users one short, personal question and collects their answers into a clear report — so you finally learn why they left, in their own words.

It's feedback, not marketing. One honest question, not a campaign blast.

Why it works

  • Churned users are invisible inside your app.Banners and in-app surveys never reach someone who already left. A plain email does.
  • A 1:1 question gets replies.People ignore newsletters but answer "what made you stop using us?"
  • You get ranked reasons.Not open rates — the actual top reasons people left, grouped for you.

Sending and support

By default we send from [email protected], so there's nothing to configure to get started. If you'd rather send from your company domain, you can register your own sending domain.

What it costs

Your first campaign is free — up to 50 recipients, no card required. The free credit is one-time, not a monthly plan. The founding-50 program gives the first 50 sign-ups (three operator emails excluded) 10,000 sends and a 700/day send cap (free 50 + founding boost 650); when those sends run out, the daily cap returns to 50/day. After that, sending more moves you to a paid plan; current plans are shown in the app.
