Smart Architecture Saves Space & Money

FluentCRM writes the full email into every recipient's queue row, and FluentSMTP logs a complete copy of every email by default. DoubleScale stores the template once and logs each send by reference—the same approach used by professional email services like Mailchimp and SendGrid. Once a campaign is sent, the template is locked for accurate tracking, ensuring data integrity.

Size stays flat as the email gets larger

DoubleScale Uses 0x Less Storage Space!

Based on measurements on MySQL 8 with each plugin's own tables (20 KB, 300 KB and 1 MB emails) at default settings: FluentCRM 3.0 + FluentSMTP 2.2, which logs a full copy of every email for 14 days. DoubleScale logs each send by reference, so its size doesn't grow with the email.

True Bulk Email Sending
— Not One-by-One

FluentCRM sends emails one at a time, making large campaigns painfully slow. DoubleScale integrates with DoubleScale's built-in bulk sending engine to send thousands of emails simultaneously — your campaigns reach inboxes in minutes, not hours.

What WordPress users say about DoubleScale

Real reviews from verified users on WordPress.org, not curated quotes or cherry-picked excerpts.

Control center of my business

“DoubleScale has replaced several separate tools for CRM, automations, email, SMS, WhatsApp, booking, sales, and support — all self-hosted on my own server. One feature that is especially critical: DoubleScale captures the email and phone number at checkout before the customer submits. This alone helps recover abandoned carts in a very practical way. The team is fast, responsive, and actually listens to user feedback.”

It covers everything from lead management and customer tracking to sales pipelines and reporting. The mobile app, WhatsApp integration, and campaign management make it a top-tier choice for businesses that want a central place to manage customer relationships. I highly recommend it!”
