How we grade them
| 2.4GPAMauticFair | 2.6GPAMumaraGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CThe software is free, but you run, update and secure it, and sending is separate. Managed hosting from Dropsolid starts at 247.50 euros a month, so one person pays either way. | BMumara ONE starts at $5 a month for 4,000 credits, under 60% of the cheapest quarter. But prices rise with contacts, the page doesn't say which volume the headline applies to, and the managed server is $47 to $6,397. |
| Free plan and trial | BThe open-source software is free to self-host. There is no free managed plan, and no trial is listed. | CThe overview mentions a free tier of 100 emails a day, but the plan page shows paid plans from $5. Mumara Machine has a 14-day trial. The two pages differ. |
| Features | BCampaign builder, email and landing pages, lead nurturing and scoring, a REST API and plugins. The listing shows no gap in the core job. | BNewsletters, transactional mail, dedicated IPs, bounce analysis, webhooks and self-hosted campaigns. Essential has a hard cap with no overages. |
| Ease of use | DSelf-hosting means a server, updates and security, and setup and migration fees vary by hosting partner. No rating on record. | CNo store rating on record. Two products with several plan ladders take working out, and the self-hosted one needs setup. |

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.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
