The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/email-marketing ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Optimove you would be making email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 78 of the 102 other email marketing and newsletter tools grade higher. - You could not: Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox. - You could not: Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. - You could not: Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers. - You could not: The WhatsApp Business API, which Meta opens only through approved partners. - You could not: An API that other software can build on. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
