Yeah, I bought the lifetime deal for Sendfox, but was very disappointed. Plus, they made improvements but those don’t ‘count’ for the lifetime deal. So boo! I haven’t tried Flodesk.

SendFox’s pricing is great and I do like their reporting. Once you figure out every thing you can click on to view reports, it’s pretty good. I would have stayed with them if they would find a way to work with re-subscribes.

I tried MailerLite and found it to be okay. I had low open rates with them but pretty good click-thru’s.

I’ve settled to Flodesk because of their unlimited emails and unlimited subscribers. Everything for one price, which is very nice these days. They have a great interface and good email building. They do need a little better reporting and their API is lacking. However, they are still in beta and adding new things all the time. Overall, I’m very pleased with them.

Hi Harold. No problem:
1. In truth, the way to think of it promotion inboxes and or getting listed as spam: Some email services start off with a certain score of legitimacy with Google. Then as you send more emails, based on how people respond, your score goes up or down. Less complaints, and you should go up. In truth, with all the services here, you’re starting off pretty good. And since you aren’t cold emailing people or just adding them without their consent, then you should be fine .
2. It was pretty easy

Two quick questions.
How does one get around Gmail’s Promotion inbox? I’m guessing half of my subscribers have Gmail, and never open their Promotion inbox. When they don’t open my weekly Newsletter, we both lose. Is this rectifiable?

Is it easy to switch from Mailchimp to MailerLite?

Honestly, I haven’t heard much about them, so I can’t say. But is MailerLite not doing what you need? Is there something or a feature you need?

As far as I know, it is FTC illegal to take a list that signed up for one thing, and use it for something else – like selling the list. So, by law, the Email Services are not allowed to use the list you collect for anything other than what you decide to do with it.

I’ve used ConvertKit for 2 years, MailerLite for 6 months, GetResponse for 4 years, and the rest listed for about 3 months. In the article above and the video I discuss deliverability as a con for MailerLite, but from my experience, it feels like a 5-10% difference than MailChimp and MadMimi.

Which ones have you used for a long time?

I’m using Mailerlite for more than a year, and it had quite a few issues with deliverability and uptime.

Do you share my concerns? Any opinions on the “quality” of those services?

Thanks

Awesome and sounds good!
