Where they differ
- Cheapest way in: Moosend at $9/mo, against EmailOctopus at €10/mo. That is the entry price in this market on the dates shown, not a judgement about which suits you.
- Free plans: only EmailOctopus publishes one — a plan priced at zero, not a trial.
- How far each ladder goes: EmailOctopus tops out at €10/mo, Moosend at $9/mo. A deeper ladder is not a worse deal — it is a bill that keeps climbing if you keep growing.
How to choose in this category
- Most tools price by list size — a quoted price is only true at a stated subscriber count, so re-check the ladder at yours.
- Free tiers differ in what they cap: subscribers, sends or features. Two ‘free plans’ are rarely the same thing.
- Headline prices are often the annual-billing rate; the pay-monthly figure sits higher.
