Frequently asked questions

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.

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.
