Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Pricing is the best in the market. I am not an expert in email marketing, but the analytics are perfect for me. It is easy to use and set up. The template editor is excellent. Cheap pricing and works well.
  • - It works pretty well even in the free version. - It is simple to use. - The reports provided are simple to understand. - The emails look professional. I love it. - I can see how many subscribers opened my emails and how often the links are used.
  • I started using EmailOctopus to send email to my SaaS customers. It is super user friendly. I have never user one of these email marketing services before and even so I could setup my first campaign in a little time. The templates are just perfect. It is tottaly professional. Everything that you need to use it is easily find in the website.
  • - Free features that are paid in other competitors - Good for Small business - If you need to scale, the price is really good compared to other options - Excellent customer support. I just use the free version and as a newbie, - I had a setup problem my email in the WebHost. The support helps me in a few minutes. Everything is free. It was a real person in the support.
  • I found EmailOctopus when looking for a cheaper alternative to Mailchimp. For now what I need is free, and if I do need to upgrade later it will be less than 1/2 what Mailchimp is. It is very user friendly, I have had no problem importing contacts and setting up/ sending emails, even though I have never used one of these email services before. I love how professional my emails look! I have also been able to easily find answers to all the questions I have had on their site. I love that I can look and see how many of my emails have been opened and how often the links are being used.

Cons

  • I do not have any cons yet. It is working perfectly for me.
  • The interface when you are setting up your email could be better. But it is ok to use.
  • No cons till now. Everything works correctly and It has been easy to use.
  • There are just a few email templates available in the free version.
  • No cons so far, everything has been easy and looks amazing.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • One of the only large newsletter service providers who offer you the ability to use their physical address as your own. They will then virtually scan and email you anything you receive. A nice way to protect your privacy without paying for an additional service or PO Box. Once you're a paid user, it has some powerful tools for automating your email campaigns.
  • ConvertKit is a great, affordable alternative to the pricier programs such as Mailchimp, offering a way to connect with my readers.
  • Convertkit is a very productive email marketing tool. This platform is my favorite choice to connect with my clients. Analytics and reports are informative. It offers a quick campaign building.
  • This is a great program to use for automations and drip email campaigns. When you connect to your store it works great!

Cons

  • This is a very expensive service. ConvertKit costs even more than Mailchimp and far more than MailerLite. I know I said they give you a free virtual mail service above, but having your own PO Box would still come out cheaper. The interface is fairly difficult to learn how to use--much harder than MailerLite, for example.
  • Sadly, it doesn't offer as many bells and whistles as Mailchimp, but for the price, it's well worth it.
  • It worked great for me. Nothing to share about cons.
  • There's nothing that I dislike about it. Really like it.
