Best for email, SMS and WhatsApp for shops
NewsMAN does email, SMS and WhatsApp with automation and shop plugins, free for 1,000 subscribers and from €5 a month above that. The free plan has a limited feature set, SMS and prepaid email packs cost extra, and the steps above 7,500 subscribers weren't readable.
Who NewsMAN is for
- Fits if you run a small shop on WooCommerce, PrestaShop or Magento
- Works for lists under 5,000 where the published steps are clear
Who NewsMAN is not for
- Tight if you stay free: limited features and 5,000 emails a month
- Skip it if your list is over 7,500, since we couldn't read those steps
- Watch out: SMS, SMTP credits and prepaid email packs are billed apart from the plans
- Watch out: prices are in euros and the annual column wasn't readable

Keep NewsMAN, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace NewsMAN you would be making newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 95 of the 102 other email marketing and newsletter tools we grade. It costs $67.03 a year.
What you could not
- Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers.
- The WhatsApp Business API, which Meta opens only through approved partners.
- Mail servers with a good name among inbox providers.
- Splitting visitors between versions and telling you which won.
- It plugs into other products, Magento, Opencart and PrestaShop among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. NewsMAN’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
