    I don't think it's well-suited for anyone. In my opinion, the low cost is not worth the extremely poor deliverability.

    Mail250
    I picked Mail250 because they seem designed for sending 1-time bulk mail for an affordable price.
    Open rates for MailerLite, GetResponse,
    ConvertKit, and SendPulse were all over 50%. Sender.net was extremely low at under 10%. Mail250 was around 10%, but also had an extremely high bounce rate of 10%.

    Mailup has hands down the best editor for creating responsive emails, I've tried almost everything out there and this is the best, I recommend this to colleagues all the time!
