Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the product and billing.

SendinBlue is free for the first 1,000 emails like most email marketing companies in the space. However, the problem with SendinBlue is that it offers a set number of emails per month, thus neglecting the number of contacts. A great choice could be Mailmodo’s pricing plan, which offers almost unlimited templates and campaigns and makes it suitable to cater to a large contact list.

The top competitor of SendinBlue is Mailmodo. You can send interactive emails with many customization options, ensuring better deliverability and high volume contact conversion.

Mailmodo offers far better deliverability as your emails are authenticated, and you get expert assistance to warmup your domain. You also receive personalized recommendations to improve your email health to boost your inbox placement rate.

Zoho Campaign offers a free trial for 14 days where you can access all the features and send up to 6,000 emails to 2,000 contacts. However, if you find the trial plan too brief and are looking to get your skin in the email marketing game, you can consider taking advantage of Mailmodo’s free trial plan.

If you’re not able to build complex workflows with Zoho Campaigns, you’re not alone. A lot of customers have complained about its limited automation capabilities. If you’re looking for an automation solution which offers you pre-made workflows, custom triggers, and endless integrations, consider using Mailmodo.

Zoho Campaigns has a poor deliverability rate, which causes your users’ emails to land in spam. Want to achieve better email deliverability? You can rely on Mailmodo's dedicated servers, warmed up domain, and suppression management strategies.
