| Pricing | Not published — Starter tier prices render client-side and were not retrievable from the vendor pricing page · free tier: Free forever, no credit card needed; up to 300 emails per day after account approval for sending, and transactional email API/SMTP included | Essentials from $100/month, billed monthly (5,000 profiles, 1M emails/month) · free tier: No free-forever plan; companies that have raised under $10M can get a full year free via the startup program. No trial length published. |
| Pricing model | Subscription (volume-based) with pay-as-you-go credit option | Subscription with usage-based overages |
| Best for | SMBs, solopreneurs and developers who send moderate email volume to a large list and want marketing, transactional email and a light CRM under one bill — especially GDPR-conscious European buyers and low-frequency senders who benefit from volume-based and no-expiry PAYG pricing. | Funded SaaS or mobile product companies with 5k–100k profiles and engineering resource to send event data, who need email coordinated with push, in-app and SMS in one journey — especially startups eligible for the under-$10M free year. |
| Avoid if | You depend on same-day sending (approval gate plus suspension reports), need a dedicated IP or hands-on deliverability help without paying Enterprise, want phone support or multiple seats on a small budget, are landing-page-heavy, or require a published contractible price before procurement. | You want cheap newsletters, forms or landing pages, have no developer support for setup, sit on a large dormant B2C list you will still be billed for, need month-to-month flexibility above $100/month, or require phone-based billing escalation. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
