Cheapest Email Marketing Platforms
Explore a list of the cheapest email marketing platforms ranked according to price. We have gone through each email marketing tool listed below, carefully assessing their most affordable pricing plans alongside their features.
Platform Selection Tip
For beginners who are only interested in building an email list and sending simple newsletters, it is recommended to select the basic option. For startups and small businesses, select SMEs. For large corporations looking for a reasonably priced tool with advanced and powerful features, select enterprise.
Notes: Most email marketing tools’ pricing is based on the number of email subscribers (contacts) while others like SMTP service providers charge based on the number of emails sent per month. That is why we use either contacts or emails sent to determine cost.
