Definitely love how easy it is to put together emails, and see the success rate on them. It's a huge help to my business, and I don't know why I didn't start sooner.

Pros

How easy it is to import email contacts and design an email blast! The site is very well organized and easy to understand.

Cons

My literal only gripe would be figuring out how to set up my custom website email to send the newsletters from. But that has nothing to do with EmailOctopus, and entirely a problem with my domain provider. But I still figured it out, and my emails send out amazingly now!

Response from EmailOctopus

Hi Gretch, what a pleasure to see such a lovely review – ending 2024 on a high note ;) We're indeed aiming to make EmailOctopus easy to use and we plan to make our platform even more user-friendly, so look out for our updates. Thank you for sharing your experience. 💜

Super easy. I also tried the API and it was great.

Pros

It's so simple and the free tier is amazing. Paid seems like a good value. They are clearly willing to work with very early growing companies.

Cons

Very little, but the editor is too simple for brands with heavier requirements. This is meant for someone who is busy and just wants to make simple, but effective emails.

Reasons for Switching to EmailOctopus

The free tier is one of the most generous I have ever seen. My business is pre-revenue so this is perfect until we generate more volume.

Response from EmailOctopus

Thank you for your kind words, Myles! We're glad you find EmailOctopus simple and effective – helping growing businesses get started with email marketing is exactly what we aim for. It’s great to hear that our Starter plan has been a good fit for you, and we appreciate you giving our API a try as well.

We noted your feedback about our editor – thanks for sharing it. Is there anything specific you'd like added as an option in our editor? We’re always looking for ways to improve our UI while keeping things simple, so your insight would be super valuable.

Thanks again for recommending us. If you ever need anything along the way, we’re here to help. 🐙

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

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Response from EmailOctopus

Hi Ankit,

Thanks for the review and glad you love our value for money.

In respects to your feedback around the email builder, you'll be glad to know we are overhauling it this year and making it much simpler to copy and paste from your favourite tools, while retaining the correct formatting.

Our forms, as you've also mentioned, saw an update last year. I think you may have misunderstood the update, as we do not use iFrames and we never have done. All our forms can be style completely by you using CSS, and we have no plans to ever change that. We agree iFrames are not the right solution to use.

If you'd like help styling your forms, please contact our team and we'd be glad to show you how.

it was great. very easy to use and very cheap. those were the major wins for me. the monetization features of some competitors and such were not as important for me at the time. volume of followers for a cheap price was the major selling point

Pros

i liked the affordability of the service the most. i had a list of about 3-4k but didn't need all the bells and whistles of some other services. this was the perfect solution for my needs.

Cons

i couldn't figure out how to use the api service of the platform. there was a lot of content that i needed to programmatically input into the campaigns but i couldn't figure out how to. that led to me spending a lot more time than i wanted on content creation that i would have preferred just coding. i think i'll try it out again now that i see a v2 api now.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for taking the time to review EmailOctopus. Affordability and simplicity are incredibly important for us, so I'm happy to hear you found us ;) If you have any issues using the API, feel free to reach out to our support – we'd be happy to help!

EmailOctopus offers many unique features in their free plan that made the learning curve 100 % worth it to me! I've had great tech support from them as well! I would definitely recommend this service to anyone who needs a solid, straightforward platform to host their newsletter!

It has been easy, simple, and amazing! If you're looking for a simplified and more user friendly experience, EmailOctopus checks all the boxes and more!

Pros

Easy to use: I love how easy it is to navigate! Our company works really hard to make our own solutions easy to use and intuitive to our clients, so we appreciate other companies/tools that value the same thing.

Support: The knowledge base is great, but the support emails are quick and personal. Again that is something our company strives for is personal customer support without going through 'robots' and I like that EmailOctopus has a dedicated support team that is super helpful if you have questions.

Cons

I don't dislike anything, though I wish for campaigns there were more video options supported like Loom. But I can easily get around that with some coding. Not enough to deter me at all.

Overall, I highly recommend EmailOctopus to anyone in need of a reliable, affordable, and feature-rich email marketing solution. Whether you're a small business owner, a marketer, or an entrepreneur, EmailOctopus has everything you need to create successful email campaigns without breaking the bank.

Pros

EmailOctopus offers a budget-friendly yet powerful solution for email marketing. Its intuitive interface and drag-and-drop editor make creating visually appealing emails a breeze. With high deliverability rates and robust analytics, it's perfect for small businesses. While some advanced features are limited, its value for money is undeniable.

Cons

When it comes to our Customer Support response times, have you considered using our Live Chat service? While we respond to emails, on average, within 40 minutes using chat will connect you to a team member (no AI Chat bots!) within seconds and is included across all our paid plans and for your first 30-days on a free plan.

Try it out next time you're on the platform by using the (?) bubble in the bottom right-hand corner.

Nothing that comes up as being a serios negative!

Pros

The customer service and ease of use. Each time I have a question, they are right there to help.

Cons

The only thing I wish I could do is select two lists.

Response from EmailOctopus

Thanks for such a lovely review, Alison. 💜 Is there a specific reason why you'd like to select two lists? It would be great to hear your use case and see how we can improve our UI to consider it. Feel free to drop us a note if you want to chat about it ;)
