Crusader — Pay-As-You-Send Email Delivery
Crusader is our advanced email delivery engine for evergreen drip campaigns, high-volume blasts, and AI-generated cold outreach. No monthly fee. You only pay when you send. Crusader is available exclusively as an add-on to Social Media Manager and/or Email Lab — it cannot be purchased on its own.
Bring Your Own SMTP
per email sent
Hook up any SMTP provider you already use. Cheapest option.
Helios SMTP (Mailgun)
per email sent
Send through our infrastructure. Requires DNS setup.
About Helios AI Tokens
- Each subscription product includes 1,000 Helios AI tokens / month. The bundle gets 2,000 shared tokens.
- Overage is billed at $0.005 per Helios AI token.
- Helios AI tokens do not map 1:1 to AI provider tokens. Choosing a more expensive model burns more Helios tokens per request — but the price per Helios token always stays the same.
- Both products let you choose your AI on a per-task basis: Claude, OpenAI, Perplexity, Stability, Gemini, with more providers coming soon.
Built to Work Alone.
Better Together.
Each product solves a specific bottleneck. Use one, use two, or stack all three with the bundle + Crusader add-on for the full workflow.
An AI Social Team
That Waits for Your Approval.
Social Media Manager generates press releases, LinkedIn posts, Facebook posts, and Instagram content tuned to your brand voice and current angles. Every draft lives in a review queue — nothing publishes until a human signs off.
Don't like a draft? Regenerate it. Tweak the angle and try again. Refine endlessly until it's right. The AI does the staring-at-a-blank-page part. You stay in control of what your brand actually says.
- Press releases, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram — more platforms on the way
- Human-in-the-loop approval on every single post
- Regenerate & refine without limits (within your token budget)
- Pick the AI model per task: Claude, OpenAI, Perplexity, Stability, Gemini
- 1,000 Helios AI tokens included each month
AI-Generated Emails.
In Your Voice. With Your Images.
Email Lab is an AI email generator that uses your brand voice settings to draft messaging that actually sounds like you — not like a generic SaaS bot. Bring your own images, or let the AI generate them for you on the fly.
Newsletters, product launches, drip sequences, re-engagement flows — Email Lab handles the writing, layout, and image work in one place. Pair it with Crusader and you've got a complete generate-and-send pipeline.
- Brand-voice-aware AI email generation
- Use your own images, or generate them with AI in-line
- Drips, newsletters, launches, re-engagement — all in one workflow
- Pick your AI: Claude, OpenAI, Perplexity, Stability, Gemini
- 1,000 Helios AI tokens included each month
Advanced Email Delivery
That Only Charges When You Send.
Crusader is our high-performance delivery engine. It runs evergreen drip campaigns, high-volume blasts, and AI-generated cold outreach — all from the same workflow your team already uses for Email Lab and Social Media Manager.
No monthly fee. No annual contract. You pay per email sent: $0.0005 per email if you bring your own SMTP, or $0.002 per email if you send through our Mailgun-backed infrastructure (DNS setup required).
Crusader is sold only as an add-on to Social Media Manager and/or Email Lab. You can't buy it on its own — it's a power-up for the products that already live in your stack.
- Evergreen drip campaigns
- High-volume email blasts
- AI-generated cold outreach
- BYO SMTP, or use ours
- Pay-as-you-send — zero monthly cost
Three Steps. Then You're Shipping.
No onboarding calls. No 47-page creative briefs. No "discovery phase." Sign up, point the AI at your brand, and start approving content the same afternoon.
Pick Your Products
Social Media Manager, Email Lab, or both. Add Crusader if you want to send email through Helios. The bundle saves you $10/month and unlocks shared tokens.
Describe Your Brand
Drop in your brand voice, your messaging angles, and (optionally) your AI provider keys. That's the entire onboarding — it takes about a minute.
Generate & Approve
The AI drafts everything. You review, regenerate, refine, and approve. Anything that goes out goes out because you said so.
Pick the Brain.
We Built the Body.
Helios doesn't lock you into one model. Both Social Media Manager and Email Lab let you choose your AI provider on a per-task basis — Claude, OpenAI, Perplexity, Stability, Gemini, with more coming online regularly.
Want a Claude-quality long-form press release and a cheap, fast Gemini draft for an Instagram caption? Do both. The Helios AI token system charges proportionally to the model you pick — smarter models burn more tokens, simpler ones burn fewer — but the price per Helios token never moves.
Total transparency. Total control. Zero vendor lock-in.
