Is the cheapest email tool really the cheapest? 🧐

Not always. Two costs a free trial can't show a small business: emails your dashboard counts as "delivered" that went to spam (you paid for them anyway), and paying per contact when you only send a newsletter twice a month.

There are even more of them, so we picked the most common ones with a 12-question checklist you can run against any provider:

Nobody enjoys deleting contacts. Growing a list feels like progress. Shrinking it feels like going backward.

But here's the part that stings: those dead addresses aren't just sitting there quietly, but are the reason your engaged subscribers stop seeing your emails, because providers start treating everything you send as spam.

One warning: don't "test" an old list by sending to it. A high invalid rate is the fastest way to get an account suspended. Use a verification tool instead.

Did you know that right now, anyone in the world can send an email with your domain in the "From:" field? 😬

Email was never built with authentication. Unless you've explicitly told receiving servers otherwise, they'll deliver that message to your customers, your partners, anyone. That's how phishing, invoice fraud, and brand impersonation happen. And since Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft tightened their rules, it may also quietly wreck your deliverability.

We recently launched DMARCRadar - a DMARC monitor that shows you exactly who's sending mail using your domain - which is a very nice add-on to our DMARC generator that is loved and used by most of our customers.

Six years. One email platform. A complaint rate under 0.01%. 🚀

Truth in IT is a lead generation company built entirely on webinars - and email is how they fill every single one. One invitation a week, sent to their audience, driving registrations for their clients' events.

They found Elastic Email through a friend's recommendation, uploaded a few records to test it, and never left. Today their campaigns run at a 32% open rate and 19% click rate, with deliverability their CEO says he simply stopped worrying about.

What kept them? Deliverability, reporting, and data handling - splitting lists into randomized segments, moving records between lists, and building dynamic segments in seconds.

Same 50,000 emails. Two very different bills.

MailerSend Starter: $35/month.
Elastic Email Starter: $19/month.

That's roughly half the price for identical sending volume - and the gap only widens at higher tiers ($29 vs. $68 at 100K emails).

And it's not just pricing. Elastic Email's Starter plan includes email verification, an AI template designer, and dedicated IP access from day one.

"An online store is only as reliable as its emails. 📦

Order confirmations, invoices, password resets - when they don't arrive, customers get frustrated, and support tickets pile up.

CZECH.click, a Czech IT agency building e-commerce stores, hit exactly this wall with hosting-provided SMTP. They compared providers, picked Elastic Email for the price, and stayed for the deliverability: noticeably fewer complaints about missing emails across their client projects.

See how they use the WordPress plugin, per-client API keys, and email logs to keep every store running smoothly: http://bit.ly/4fELCJw

What if onboarding a new customer took 4 steps instead of 4 weeks? 🤝

👉 Create a subaccount - isolated contacts, reputation, and reporting from minute one.
👉 Clone your standardized templates and apply the client's branding.
👉 Wire up the API or SMTP Relay for automated sends.
👉 Automate reporting so stats flow to a dashboard, instead of a person.

That's the whole workflow. More clients, same team.
