Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, EmailOctopus has a free trial using which you can send 10,000 emails per month to 2,500 subscribers. If you exceed the contact or monthly sending limit, you start getting charged around $8/monthly. Their free plan, however, offers basic support and limited analytics. This is why prospects prefer EmailOctopus alternatives like Mailmodo, which has affordable pricing plans.

Mailmodo is superior in terms of email deliverability. The platform helps you land your emails in the user's inbox with dedicated servers, authentication protocols, warmed up SMTP, suppression management, fragmented scheduling, and an analysis of your email infrastructure.

EmailOctopus don't provide SMTP connection to set up transactional emails and their spam rate has been reported as high, which makes them rather unreliable. If you're an EmailOctopus user looking to boost your inbox placement rate, consider switching to an alternative platform like Mailmodo with a warmed up SMTP and advanced spam filters.

EmailOctopus's price-to-performance ratio is poor, owing to its high spam rate and poor deliverability. If you're looking for an affordable email marketing tool, consider switching to Mailmodo.

To ensure that the data you wish to keep from EmailOctopus will still be accessible when the migration is finished, import contact data into Mailmodo.
