Email marketing

ActiveCampaign bills you for unsubscribed contacts, and the $15 plan has no real automation. Fix both and a lot of migrations stop being necessary.

Brevo charges by emails sent, not contacts. That’s cheap until it isn’t, and the crossover sits around 9,000 sends a month.

GetResponse advertises 99% deliverability. Independent tests measure 81%, and that was the best score in the test. Plus the refund policy to read first.

Clean editor, fair price, strong deliverability. All true. What nobody leads with is that MailerLite might not let you in.

Four platforms cut their free plans in 2026 and most comparisons still quote the old numbers. Here’s what survived, with dates.

MailerLite cut its free plan in June. AWeber’s is now double the size, and every comparison ranking today still says the opposite.

Email marketing for freelancers compared after Kit removed free automations in September 2026. Where the free plans still work, and where the wall is.

The $12 versus $19 comparison is wrong. Where the real gap sits, and the list size where GetResponse turns out cheaper.

Mailchimp charges you for contacts who unsubscribed. Five alternatives priced at real list sizes, plus the ten-minute fix worth trying first.
