One tool, read from its pricing page, help center and terms.
How to choose between these tools
Start from what you will actually do in the first year, not from the longest feature list. Three questions settle most cases:
- Do you need more than email? If you also want sales funnels, a course or paid bookings on the same bill, read the systeme.io review first. Its free plan holds up to 2,000 contacts, and the paid plans are $17, $47 and $97 a month.
- Do you want a free plan to start on and help when you're stuck? GetResponse's Free plan covers up to 500 contacts, with a GetResponse badge on every email, and every new account gets 14 days of premium features. Starter is $19 a month for up to 1,000 contacts. The review explains what its support does and doesn't fix.
- Is the lowest monthly bill at a small list the priority? Moosend's Pro plan is $9 a month at 500 subscribers. There's no free plan, only a 30-day trial without a card for up to 1,000 contacts.

Is systeme.io Good for Email Marketing? Mind the Pool
systeme.io doesn't cap emails sent, but each account sends from an IP pool set by its own opens, complaints and bounces. How the pools work, who it suits.
