DarkPhish

Users can prepare or import email templates, define approved recipients, schedule campaigns, monitor activity, review recipient timelines and export results. The free Community plan costs nothing and includes up to 100 managed users, one active campaign, a simulation engine, basic reporting and the core REST API. Paid plans start at €249/mo (annual). The platform lists API, Linux, self-hosted and web availability; its installer supports fresh systemd-based Linux deployments on amd64 and arm64. Supported databases include SQLite, MySQL/MariaDB and PostgreSQL. DarkPhish describes encrypted and signed browser sessions, scoped expiring API tokens, secrets hidden from normal API responses, and signed, hash-chained administrative audit records.
