Mailmodo is the best alternative to Elastic Email because it has user-friendly email design features, manages your deliverability to boost your inbox placement rate, and provides 24/7 email, phone, and customer support.

Elastic Email is good for businesses looking to do email marketing on a small scale. At a large scale, however, the tool has shown deliverability issues. For boosting your inbox placement rate, consider using Elastic Email alternatives like Mailmodo to get a dedicated IP server and 1-on-1 consultation with a deliverability expert.

Mailmodo is far more superior than Elastic Email in terms of deliverability. The former offers warmed up domain and tools to authenticate your emails to boost your inbox placement rate.

SendPulse has a free plan for upto 500 contacts, however it has several restrictions on analytics and automation features you can access. If you want to avail unlimited email templates, advanced reporting and automation features, we suggest considering SendPulse alternatives like Mailmodo. Mailmodo has affordable pricing plans, which you can check out here.

Drip has a low number of integrations and limited reporting features. If you’re looking for a full-stack email marketing solution to measure campaign metrics such as open rates, click rates, submissions, and bounces using a visual reporting dashboard and get access to A/B testing and exporting analytics data, consider using Drip alternatives like Mailmodo.

Getting the automation feature to work well in SendPulse requires practice because it's a complex platform. If you’re looking for an intuitive and user-friendly email automation platform, use Mailmodo.
