I use it to send a weekly email to my former ukulele students (300+). I also send out 'tech tips' to authors on a semi-regular basis.
Pros
What I love most about email octopus is the simplicity of it. The interface is minimal by design which doesn't derail me when I just need to get an email out to my lists.
Cons
I would love it if they supported markdown.

Keep it SImple
Reviewed on 30/08/2023
Pros
Email Octopus is the only email program I could connect with. I can do almost anything with any program on a computer. But email marketing has always been overly complicated, in my opinion. I can write copy and set up great graphical design, but email marketing is like this bag of complications that the occasional email marketer doesn't get very proficient in. EmailOctopus simplifies all of this to the point that even if I don't become an expert in email marketing, I can still start and run a campaign and get good feedback on the quality of that email campaign. I like the fact that I can just relax after hitting the send button, and Email Octopus does the rest. For me, I like simplicity. Overly complicated doesn't work for me. Email Octopus is simple.
Cons
I am waiting for AI tools to be incorporated into EmailOctopus. I also think it would be cool if an email audience could be created right within the app.

I like it, but that's because I found workarounds.
Fx. I design the NewsLetter in MailChimp and copy/paste the HTML. It works fine that way.
Pros
I moved from MailChimp, because of the price tag. Octopus is way cheaper, but it's still possible to send the same quality emails and that's great.
Cons
1. A better interface to make your own template/design. Limitations in fonts, sizes, etc
2. List features are limited. No way to create segments or groups based on subscriber data.
3. Regarding reports: A graphic overview of where the clicks are placed.
Response from EmailOctopus
Hi Jan,
Thanks for the feedback. We have some good news on the campaign editor- we've just launched our new drag & drop email builder.
It's only in Beta at the moment, however I've added it to your account and you'll be able to use it in your next campaign.
More updates to come based on your feedback, too.
Thanks again,
Tom

EmailOctopus is incredibly easy to use, yet still full-featured enough to fill the needs of most business owners.

Can't think of a thing I don't like about EmailOctopus.
