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.

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.
