Frequently asked questions
SendinBlue is free for the first 1,000 emails like most email marketing companies in the space. However, the problem with SendinBlue is that it offers a set number of emails per month, thus neglecting the number of contacts. A great choice could be Mailmodo’s pricing plan, which offers almost unlimited templates and campaigns and makes it suitable to cater to a large contact list.
The top competitor of SendinBlue is Mailmodo. You can send interactive emails with many customization options, ensuring better deliverability and high volume contact conversion.
Mailmodo offers far better deliverability as your emails are authenticated, and you get expert assistance to warmup your domain. You also receive personalized recommendations to improve your email health to boost your inbox placement rate.
You can create an account for free to try Campaign Monitor and send an email campaign to five contacts. If you exceed the contact limit, you will have to buy the paid plan starting from $9/month, where you can send emails to 500 contacts. For a more affordable alternative, you can consider using Mailmodo.
Campaign Monitor is not HIPAA compliant. Although they’ve signed a Business Associate Agreement (BAA), Campaign Monitor won't allow you to utilize their service to send emails containing Protected Health Information (PHI). If you’re looking for a HIPAA compliant ESP, consider using Mailmodo.
Subscribers have frequently expressed frustration with Campaign Monitor for its high spam rates and occasionally blocked servers. Use Mailmodo if you want a higher deliverability rate. We assist clients with domain warming, stop spammers, and provide advice on increasing deliverability rates.
