One-click unsubscribe

A standards-based unsubscribe action in the inbox UI.

One-click unsubscribe uses List-Unsubscribe and List-Unsubscribe-Post headers so supported mailbox providers can show an unsubscribe control directly in the inbox. Gmail and Yahoo require it for many bulk senders.

At an early stage the deciding factors are what the free tier actually covers, what the first paid invoice looks like, and how much of a founding engineer's week the setup costs. Feature depth that only matters at a million sends a month is noise until it is not.

Applied to one-click unsubscribe, that means weighing free tier, best published rate per 1,000, entry price, and developer experience ahead of the rest, against a waitlist, a launch announcement, onboarding email, and the first transactional sends.
