The problem
Your outbound stack costs $264 a month, and you own none of it.
Four tools, four logins, four bills, glued together with Zapier. Meerko replaces the loop with one open-source engine you can run yourself.

Built for GTM engineers
You write code. Your outbound should be code too.
GTM engineers turn go-to-market into systems: data pipelines, enrichment, sequencing, routing. Meerko gives you those primitives as an open, scriptable engine — version your plays, test them, and hand them to an agent.
What is a GTM engineer? Read the guide →Is Meerko really free?
Yes. The self-hosted edition is AGPL and has every core feature. You only pay data providers directly with your own keys. Meerko Cloud charges credits for data lookups; AI runs in your own agent.
Is Meerko an open-source Clay alternative?
For outbound, yes: tables, enrichment and AI columns, plus sending from your own Gmail and a reply inbox. The difference is that Meerko is open source, so you can self-host it and keep every row in your own Postgres.
How do you protect deliverability?
You send from your own mailboxes with daily caps, send windows, jitter and threading. Unsubscribes are honored across every sequence in your workspace.
Can my AI agent really run campaigns?
Every action is an MCP tool. Replies are drafted for your approval, and the Meerko commands never start a sequence without your OK.
Does it work with my CRM?
Meerko has a light built-in pipeline: new, contacted, replied, meeting, won. CRM sync isn't built yet.
