Move to Xem · from listmonk
Bring your list from listmonk.
Keep every unsubscribe.
Export a CSV from listmonk, import it into Xem, and send your next issue from your own domain. Contacts are free to store; you pay only for the emails you send.
Steps
- 1
Export from listmonk
listmonk keeps subscribers in PostgreSQL. From psql, run \copy (select email, name, status from subscribers) to 'subscribers.csv' csv header. Keep the status column: Xem skips anyone marked blocklisted or disabled.

Create a free Xem workspace
Sign up, then create a contact list for these subscribers. No card is needed and storing contacts is free.
Create your workspace - 3
Import the file
In Audience → Contact lists, open your list and choose Import. Map the email column (and names, if you have them) in the preview, then import. People marked unsubscribed in the file stay unsubscribed.

Connect your sending domain
Verify your domain with Xem's managed sending, or connect your own SMTP or Amazon SES. Your first campaign can use one of 200+ editable templates.
Send with Amazon SES
What comes with you
- Email addresses and names
- Subscribed and unsubscribed status, so nobody is emailed again by mistake
- Any extra columns you map, such as tags or sign-up source
What to rebuild
- Signup forms: publish a Xem form and swap the embed on your site
- Automations, such as a welcome sequence, in the visual builder
- Past campaign stats stay in listmonk; export them first if you need them
