"Good Price, User Friendly" Posted 2022-09-17

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.

"A User-Friendly Email Builder" Posted 2022-09-06
Pros: I’ve used EmailOctopus on several projects over the years and I’ve always been impressed with its ease of use. The builder is intuitive. It has great integrations with major site builders, I use it mainly with Carrd. Email Octopus has a generous free plan, one of (if not the) best on the market.
Cons: EmailOctopus does lack some of the more power user features that you many find in services such as Klaviyo.
Overall: Overall I would recommend EmailOctopus to everyone that is looking to capture client/user data in a simple an easy way. If you’re looking to send a few emails a month then this is the platform for you.

"One of the best bargains in the Email Service Provider space" Edited 2022-09-01
Pros: - Free features that matter, to get you started like scheduling and segments (Mailchimp charge for these!)
- Really good for non-profit organizations with small list
- Integrates with Zapier to expand your workflow
- Pricing plans seem a lot more reasonable when you want to scaleCons: - Event based or condition-based emails functionality seem to be missing. Only X days/hours since they joined a list.
Overall: I love their free-tier so far. I'm still experimenting to see how to leverage as much as possible. The onboarding is very simple because of their clean design.

"Excellent Email AutoResponder Alternative" Posted 2022-08-07
Pros: I love EmailOctopus's customer service. They are very knowledgeable about the product and they are swift to respond.
The price point is very affordable for everything included with the software.Cons: They could update the features included. The features included with this software is very minimal. They have updated some of the features from their beginning product, but they are not as advanced as some of the other top Autoresponder.
I have discussed this with their support team and they said they would mention it to the developers. So at least they are taking it into consideration.Overall: Overall this is a great alternative to the other top AutoResponders such as GetResponse, Aweber, ConvertKit etc.

I noticed they take extreme precautions in monitoring the emails you send. As a result, their deliverability is pretty high. This is a major plus.
I would highly recommend this product to other marketers and business owners. -

"The best option out there. No BS!" Posted 2022-06-02
Pros: A lot of customization is available, even in the trial version.
Pricing is great.
You're not sacrificing quality for price.
Organized very well.Cons: Menu can be a bit clunky to navigate, but it doesn't get in my way.
Overall: I'm on the small business end of things. Overall, this is your best option for a mail campaign. Support gives you a lot of tips, and they're responsive. The interface is easy to use. You have a lot of flexibility for your end product. Just be careful exiting out of your campaign when you're not done- you have to scroll back through the menus to get back to your work, and you might spend a couple of extra seconds looking for it.

"Solid email newsletter service" Posted 2022-03-30
Pros: It's easy to set up and much faster to use than some of the alternatives I have tried.
It's also much more affordable than alternatives.Cons: Not much really. There are some advanced features I would have liked to see (mostly around the API), but I knew before signing up that those features didn't exist, and on balance it was better to go with EmailOctopus than some of the alternatives that had a better API, but had other, more vital issues.
Overall: I'm happy with EmailOctopus and will continue using it to send my multiple newsletters. If you want a more affordable & simple email newsletter service, it's a good option for you.

"Very solid email newsletter provider" Posted 2022-03-01
Pros: Very generous free trial. One of the only services that will give you 2500 users while still free. As an author, I need that because a lot of sign ups for free reader magnets are people who never open another email. Easier to use than Mailchimp or ConvertKit.
Cons: Not quite as easy to use as MailerLite, but not bad. The emails look a little less polished.
Overall: EmailOctopus offers an amazing number of subscribers in its free trial and is fairly easy to use. I also really like that the generous free trial turns into very reasonably priced plans once you grow enough to need to pay. I wish I'd known about EmailOctopus sooner! I would have started with them instead of needing to move.
