Best Email Service Anywhere

Comentarios: Outstanding. I have so much control and flexibility to use this service for so many bulk emailing applications and I can scale up or down to mirror my busy seasons. I have been thrilled with this service for years.

Puntos a favor:

I have been a user of EmailOctopus for years and have seen the company, services, and functionality grow and develop over time. The customer service has been extraordinary whenever I have had questions and I have always received highly respectful communications from this company. They know that your success makes them succeed as well so they are in your corner every step of the way and they treat customers fairly at all times. The ease and flexibility of this web-based program are outstanding and I have made recommendations in the past that have since been implemented. What the service is now is a godsend for anyone needing to send bulk emails whether frequently or occasionally because they allow you to scale up or down to your needs, which I see as further proof of their customer first philosophy. The setup is easy if you follow the instructions or ask for any help and once you are setup with amazon and email octopus, you can be confident that you will achieve everything you desire with this service. Best of luck to you all in future endeavors.

Puntos en contra:

None Exist. Try to change my mind. This service is outstanding.

A friendly, clean and reasonably priced mailing list company.

Comentarios: I moved from a different mailing list company which had significantly raised its' prices and bloated its' product full of "features" I didn't need. I was nervous switching, but it was completely painless, even though I had to setup templates and sign-up forms from scratch. Moving my list of 1500 subscribers across was also very easy.

Puntos a favor:

The interface is extremely clean with no clutter or bloat. The website runs smoothly with no lag when I'm adding lots of info to a newsletter. Block management is easy to understand and it's simple to test the emails before deploying. I appreciate the the simplicity of campaign reports and automations are easy to setup.

Puntos en contra:

It's not quite as feature-rich as some of the big mailing list companies. However, this isn't necessarily a bad thing as it makes it very simple to use.

Razones para elegir EmailOctopus: I had been grandfathered into legacy pricing with my old company, but they brought out a "new" product which I was not eligible for any discount on - the price as a result was 10x higher! My grandfathered product still existed, but would no longer have new features.They had also introduced a lot of bloat into the product. Many unnecessary features were crammed in and the website was slow and buggy as a result.

Software anterior: MailerLite

Razones para cambiar a EmailOctopus: I really liked the clean interface as soon as I tried it. The pricing seemed fair and I especially liked the option to use Amazon AWS at a reduced cost. I asked customer service many questions before switching and they were always really friendly, fast and quick to sort out any issues. I also like to support a smaller company that's having to compete with the established players.

A good affordable email marketing tool

Comentarios: Overall, I had a good experience, but I really wish that they fix their email builder, and it's buggy.

Puntos a favor:

Even though EmailOctopus(EO) is a relatively new tool but it has all the features you will expect it to have. The best this is that it's really affordable.

Puntos en contra:

The major problem with EmailOctopus is there UI of email builder. It's really bad and buggy. Also if you try pasting content from Ms-Word or Notion then it changes the formatting which is troublesome to edit. Also if you want to run referral programs for your newsletter then EmailOctopus has very few integrations. They also pushed new update for their forms which makes it compulsory to use it with iframe and not custom html tags. That makes it very static and you can't use your own designs.

Great tool for authors and bloggers

Comentarios: I had the pleasure of using EmailOctopus for my email marketing campaigns, and I must say it's an excellent tool. The platform is incredibly easy to use and efficient. One of the best things about it is the wide variety of templates available, as well as the option to create custom ones.Additionally, I appreciate the free plan that allows you to schedule your campaigns, which is a feature not always included in free plans with other email marketing services. Whenever I needed assistance, their support team was fantastic, quick to respond and receptive to suggestions.Last but not least, the pricing is very affordable, especially once you reach 2500 subscribers. Overall, I would highly recommend EmailOctopus to anyone looking for an excellent email marketing tool that is easy to use, affordable, and offers fantastic customer support.

Puntos a favor:

My favorite features are:1. creating your own template2. scheduling campaigns

Puntos en contra:

Although it integrates with StoryOrigin (the platform I use to deliver magnet readers and do newsletter swaps with other authors), EmailOctopus's API doesn't support list stats. Because I swap with other authors, it helps to show my stats (list size, open rate and chick rate). But the support team was quick to respond and open to suggestions, so I'm hoping they will fix this in another update.

Razones para elegir EmailOctopus: MailChimp recently reduced its free plan from 2000 to 500 subscribers. I find their pricing too expensive (not for what they offer, but for what I need at this moment).

Software anterior: Mailchimp

Razones para cambiar a EmailOctopus: I chose EmailOctopus for 4 reasons:1. Higer number of subscribers in the free plan2. Affordable price3. Scheduling option4. It integrates with the platform I'm using to deliver my reader magnet.

EmailOctopus is the best free and VFM mail service I've found after months of searching!

Puntos a favor:

I love that EO is so easy to set up and use - it took me less than 30 mins to set up my first automation (welcome email to new subs) and prepare my first weekly campaign. The UI was really nice too with the drag and drop builder (for someone like me who has no coding knowledge) and the flexibility to customise the layout even though I'm on a free plan. Also liked how generous EO in the early stages of growth for the user!

Puntos en contra:

Have not run into any cons, but I would enjoy a more flexible builder UI that could help me standardise fonts and colors for the complete mail and be able to revert to it with a single click if any incorrect formatting exists. Also, pressing backspace to delete a word also deletes the space before that word, which isn't required (it slows down typing speed)

Alternativas consideradas: MailBird, MailerLite y Brevo

Razones para elegir EmailOctopus: I was on the free plan and MC no longer offers the benefits of contact count and mail count it did previously. I am yet to scale my business - hopefully it does soon and I can stick around to upgrade within EO in the future

Software anterior: Mailchimp

Razones para cambiar a EmailOctopus: UI/UX, good reviews on the internet and generous starter plan (free)

Excellent email management platform for small business

Puntos a favor:

I like the ease of use, excellent and very responsive customer service, affordability.

Puntos en contra:

Some of the email functions are not perfect; for instance, I sometimes have trouble setting the right font size for my email campaigns.

Great and Easy

Comentarios: I am using Email Octopus for email marketing for my publishing business. It's a very low-cost and effective way to gather my readers in one place and hold them there.

Puntos a favor:

Email Octopus is extremely straight-forward. The way you use it and the pricing are easy to unserstand and make sense.

Puntos en contra:

Nothing to add. I like it, and can't think of anything I dislike. Customer service was prompt at answering my inquiries.

A game-changer for those looking for affordable newsletters

Comentarios: I'm thrilled with my experience with Email Octopus and am glad I switched from the more expensive newsletter providers.

Puntos a favor:

I love the pricing, the ease of setting up newsletters, and that I can stay within a budget without losing the newsletter features that allow me to have high subscriber engagement. I also like how easy it is to add new subscribers and that it offers a user-friendly design platform.

Puntos en contra:

I haven't had a chance to explore automation yet, but that's one thing I'd like to set up and figure out.

Excellent!

Comentarios: Overall I love using Email Octopus. Customer service is excellent if I have any questions or problems.

Puntos a favor:

Features are very comparable to other companies for a lower price point. I love that a portion of proceeds go to ocean cleanup. They are a company that cares.

Puntos en contra:

I wish there were more options for templates with a paid plan.

Simple and cheap for a email marketing manager software

Puntos a favor:

EmailOctopus provides a dependable platform at a reasonable price, with exceptional customer service. Questions are swiftly and thoroughly answered. The platform is simple to use and offers a wide range of options that i have use to write our newsletter and email marketing content.

Puntos en contra:

I'd want to see the email builder drag and drop functionality enhanced. It works okay, and the emails are attractive, but it isn't as polished as some other newsletter builder software that I have used. The email template should be more customizable and easy to add a design into it.

Refreshingly Simple and Straightforward

Comentarios: An excellent tool for most email-marketing situations. I've used it on several client sites for letting them build their own newsletters and email lists, and have not had a single complaint about it. If you are looking for a tool to migrate your email list of hundreds of thousands of users to, EmailOctopus probably isn't for you—but if you're an average-sized business or creator, it's really my preferred option now, and much less spammy/convoluted than something like ConvertKit!

Puntos a favor:

Email Octopus is really a great tool for—in my opinion—80–90% of situations where you need email marketing. For the large part it "just works", and I have no trouble getting my clients to use it, which cannot be said about other similar tools.It's quite easy to make great-looking forms and landing pages, and the WordPress plugin is a joy to use—makes things much easier!

Puntos en contra:

If it's a great tool for 80–90% of situations, then I have to admit it has some shortcomings for those less-common use cases where you really need something robust and more flexible.Its API documentation is a bit lacking, for example, and while things "just work" for the most part, a consequence of this is that you don't have nearly as much control over precise details as you would with a larger—and admittedly more expensive—tool in this same spce.

Alternativas consideradas: ConvertKit, Campaign Monitor y Mailchimp

Razones para elegir EmailOctopus: ConvertKit's branding is a bit of a turn off. It's either just...bad (remember that whole weird thing of temporarily being named "Seva"?), or has a very heavy marketer/car-salesman vibe to it.But it was a decent tool for a long time, so worth using.I came across EmailOctopus via its WordPress plugin, and was intrigued by the simplicity and refreshing marketing and design, which felt so much more "normal" and straightforward than e.g. ConvertKit.I started using it one some personal projects, and after loving it, am now using it with some freelance clients. A few of those are switched over from ConvertKit and we're all happier for it.

Software anterior: ConvertKit

Razones para cambiar a EmailOctopus: There are situations where I'd go with a tool with more features and more developer possibilities (i.e. a more fully-fleshed-out, better-documented API with ideally some SDKs ready to go).But EmailOctopus is a great balance of focused feature-set, cost, design quality, and customer support, so it's becoming my go-to!

Everythin we Need

Comentarios: We have used email octopus for many years. I can't comment on the support - because we have never really needed them - their product just runs properly and without issues. We use it for a lot of things, but primarily for email lists for our users and list management. Their API was easy to integrate into our app, and it makes things really smooth and easy.

Puntos a favor:

Easy to use, almost never a bug, affordable

Puntos en contra:

UI can be a bit weird, but is super minor. Its a really great product

Alternativas consideradas: Mailchimp

Razones para elegir EmailOctopus: Constant contact was expensive, limited, and we always seemed to have to contact support.

Software anterior: Constant Contact

Razones para cambiar a EmailOctopus: We chose email Cotopus for the cost factor originally, but grew to appreciate how well their product works

Reliable and cost-effective

Comentarios: Overall I've been very pleased. I have tried several other providers and found that this service is excellent and compares well with other providers who charge a lot more for similar features.

Puntos a favor:

EmailOctopus offers a reliable platform at an excellent price, and the level of customer support is particularly good. Questions are answered promptly and efficiently. The platform is easy to use and has a good range of features.

Puntos en contra:

I'd like to see the drag and drop email editor improved. It works well enough and the emails look good, but it is not as slick as other editors I've used.

Alternativas consideradas: MailerLite y Mailchimp

Razones para elegir EmailOctopus: I wanted to switch from a self-hosted email platform to a hosted one, and it was important that the service I chose integrated with Bookfunnel and my website.

Razones para cambiar a EmailOctopus: I've tried all those listed and a few more. MailerLite let me down several times. They were unreliable and their support was poor. Sendfox is very basic and charges for options such as single optin lists. Mailpoet has a great editor and integrates with my site beautifully, but it didn't integrate with Bookfunnel, and that was a dealbreaker. Mailchimp has become very expensive.

Can't beat the features for the price

Comentarios: My overall experience has been positive. I'm comfortable with tech, so setting this up with AWS wasn't difficult. I like the user interface and I think deliverability is at least moderate. I've been able to save 10-20 month using EmailOctopus over the more mainstream and pricey email providers, so I'm happy.

Puntos a favor:

I like that I have 90% of the functionality as with the more expensive options, like MailerLite. This allows me to build my newsletter list without the hefty price tag.

Puntos en contra:

I wish there were more analysis-type features, like being able to tell me at a glance which subscribers haven't opened an email in six months, and then a mechanism to pull that group out and cull them from my list. Right now the process is manual and time-consuming.

The Best Software I’ve used

Puntos a favor:

The interface is easy to use and the email sending is easy to access. Unlike other email platforms I’ve tried, I love that there is a minimum amount of subscribers you must have before you must buy the paid plan. Nothing is complicated about this. It’s a great tool.

Puntos en contra:

I wish there was a mobile app but other than that, nothing is wrong with it.

Simple & Effective

Comentarios: Incredible. In the time & age where platform are becoming extremely bulky, EmailOctopous keeps it simple, clean, automated. Customer support is on point every time.

Puntos a favor:

- Simple yet powerful - Not overwhelming - Incredible customer support - Fantastic automation

Puntos en contra:

- Segmentation features - Advanced automation & workflows

EmailOctopus Review - A Community Manager at an Impact NGO

Comentarios: I think EmailOctopus is a simplified version of something like Mailchimp; really impressed by the way it simplifies the entire process.

Puntos a favor:

The ease of use (any day). Really easy to import/export the contacts; the analytics are accurate and easily digestable.

Puntos en contra:

Certain glitches when it comes to drafting the email (like changing the image size or highlighting some text as bold). Rest all is great!

Alternativas consideradas: Mailchimp

Razones para elegir EmailOctopus: Mailchimp was a) expensive; b) a touch hard to use for a relatively fresh marketing team

Software anterior: Mailchimp

Razones para cambiar a EmailOctopus: EmailOctopus is a) fairly easy to use, b) relatively cheaper

Email Octopus

Puntos a favor:

Email Octopus provides good value for the price.

Puntos en contra:

Some features could be refined, such as being able to keep various campaign emails in folders, global delete emails in lists.

The Perfect Solution

Comentarios: I had a suggestion for a new feature and contacted customer service. They responded within hours and were extremely friendly. I have been very pleased with this program and will definitely be recommending it to others.

Puntos a favor:

I examined many email clients before selecting Email Octopus. What really made this program stand above the rest was the fact that I could have 2500 subscribers on my list and still remain on the free program.

Puntos en contra:

The "Drag and Drop" feature in the email builder has a slight learning curve, but it is still much easier to use than other programs I've worked with.

Alternativas consideradas: ConvertKit, ActiveCampaign, MailerLite, Mailchimp y AWeber

Razones para cambiar a EmailOctopus: EmailOctopus had the largest number of subscribers on the free version and was the easiest to use.

Excellent! Our new go-to for email marketing!

Puntos a favor:

We're a small Mom/Daughter business with a small list. We outgrew our list on another platform, but could not justify the cost for a larger list. EmailOctopus gives you more subscribers for free! When we grow that much, we'll be happy to switch to a paid subscription here. We easily made a nice welcome sequence that sends automatically, and the schedule is easy to set and edit. Very happy with all the features and ease of use.

Puntos en contra:

It's been more than 6 months, and we have not had any issues so far!

My review

Comentarios: I can say that it has been a reliable and easy-to-use software. The drag-and-drop editor and pre-built templates have saved me a lot of time and effort in creating visually appealing emails.

Puntos a favor:

I've been able to set up automated email sequences to engage with my subscribers, and segment my lists based on their behavior, which has helped me to send more targeted messages.The integration with third-party apps and services has also been a considerable plus for me. I've also used the WordPress integration to add sign-up forms to my website and grow my subscriber list.

Puntos en contra:

I've found the analytics to be somewhat basic, and I would like to have more advanced features such as A/B testing. Additionally, customer support can be slow to respond at times.

Happy customer for over two years.

Comentarios: Overall, the experience with EmailOctopus has been largely positive.

Puntos a favor:

EmailOctopus looks easy at first, but I will highly encourage anyone to look into the API for more serious use cases. Depending on your mileage, it may take you longer to integrate, but if you have worked with competitors, it only should take you a few hours at most to build a fully integrated flow with the API.

Puntos en contra:

The editor is a little finicky at times and the documentation for power users could be made more visible. I would also expect better support for managing multiple accounts at this price point.

Razones para cambiar a EmailOctopus: The Octopus is cuter.
