    Sometimes creativity is lacking in me and that is where Cakemail comes in and saves the day. I am glad that I can receive creative help from this awesome brand. The pricing is very affordable, in my opinion. It makes this platform a no-brainer!

    SendFox is perfect for when you are needing to send emails irregularly to a medium-sized list and don't want high fees. Whilst there aren't fancy templates like other services, this can be perfect if you are just wanting to send simple, quick emails vs more in-depth graphical ones. It's great for smaller businesses as well due to the low cost.

    • Easy to send emails as an automated sequence or single blast email.
    • Can break customers into separate lists but still only charged per contact.
    • Charges as a lifetime deal for so many contacts rather than monthly.

    Cons
    Cakemail
    • An external package – like PHP support – Cake's component doesn't have that.
    • I'd like to be able to view my user click rate and click frequency at the same time, to be able to compare it – they don't offer that.
    • There's always room for improvement – but what Cakemail does well, it does very, very well.

    • More customization in the email builder.
    • More customization on the smart pages (aka Landing page).
    • Forms have low customization and older style graphical look.

    I have used other email platforms before, but I think Cakemail is easier to use AND provides you with templates. For the other products I have tested out, you had to create your own templates from scratch. I like the ability to create from scratch, but on days where you lack the time or creativity, there are templates ready to go for you

    Mailchimp costs a lot once you get into the 4000 contacts range and features that SendFox has integrated are in a higher cost plan from Mailchimp. Drip is in a similar range cost-wise. It costs more per month than I paid all up. For a business that relies on email marketing as an income strategy, these tools are perfect, but for my business which uses it intermittently to supplement things like group challenges, it's more applicable to go with a tool like SendFox.

    Return on Investment
    Cakemail
    • Easily track the success of your email campaigns

    AppSumo Originals
    • It's been the service I've used for daily emails for group challenges - Meaning that I had a service that was cheaper than others AND was reliable. When the customers got the emails reliably, I retained them, customers.
    • It has been less flexible in terms of customization - This hasn't had a tangible benefit but may have had a lead-on effect of the emails not always looking as professional to the customer.
    • It is much cheaper than other services meaning I've saved likely $2000+ based on the size of my email list (which is a lot for my small business!).
