Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you want SMS or WhatsApp, as those start at $219 a month
- Skip it if you want clear steps, since the contact count behind each price wasn't readable
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as only a trial of unstated length is offered

- Works for occasional senders, who can buy email packs from $48 for 10,000 that last a year
Look elsewhere if

- Not for you if you want SMS and receipt emails in your email plan, as they're priced as separate products
- Watch out: Standard has 3 users and Pro 10, and email verification and re-engagement emails need Pro
- Watch out: the free plan allows only 5 automated flows, and there's no trial of paid plans on record

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
