Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
