Frequently asked questions
MailerLite’s email automation is sophisticated to use. Their automation feature is part of every plan, including the free trial. You can use autoresponders to set up marketing emails, like welcome emails. Building automation flows using their drag-and-drop builder is easy because the platform is intuitive. However, if you’re looking to do triggered email marketing, Mailmodo is a complete value for money. It’s a powerful tool for building multistep automation flows and is cost-effective.
With MailerLite’s free plan, you can send 12,000 emails monthly to 1,000 contacts. Only 1 user can sign up for the trial account. Also, key features such as drag-and-drop editor, email automation builder, signup forms, and pop-ups are included in the trial. However, if the contact limit is exceeded, you will have to shell out money and switch to a paid plan.
Yes, Mailmodo is a far more advanced alternative to MailerLite. With Mailmodo, you can send AMP emails that reduce redirections and drop-offs. Connecting your own SMTP is also a huge advantage for any email marketing team. Besides, Mailmodo offers 24/7 email, phone, and chat support.
You can sign up for free on ConvertKit to send unlimited emails to 1,000 subscribers. However, the trial, besides list segmentation and audience insights, doesn't give you a taste of automation and advanced reporting. You can consider using a ConvertKit alternative like Mailmodo. Mailmodo also offers complete analytics and automation features in its trial plan.
ConvertKit is tailormade for content creators, but it receives a lot of flak for poor deliverability and lack of advanced insights. If you've faced a low inbox placement rate recently, you can consider switching to a ConvertKit alternative like Mailmodo to fix your low engagement history, poor domain reputation, and scammy email list.
Mailmodo is a better choice in terms of email deliverability. The platform helps boost your email deliverability by offering you expert consultations to clean your lists, setting up proper authentication protocols, and managing your suppression lists.
