EmailOctopus vs Sender
Both ladders below were read from the vendors’ own pricing pages, in this market, on the dates shown. Nothing is converted: what you see is what each page showed a reader here.
What each one is
EmailOctopussite ↗pricing ↗
A deliberately cheap email marketing tool, built for newsletters that need sending rather than a marketing suite. Paid plans start at €10/mo (Pro); a free plan exists.
Sendersite ↗pricing ↗
A low-cost email and SMS marketing tool for small businesses and online shops. Paid plans start at $7/mo (Standard); a free plan exists. The ladder we hold runs 2 paid tiers, topping out at $14/mo (Professional). We read the same $7/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country. It quotes USD here rather than local currency, so your bank sets the conversion. Its published prices moved on 2026-09-06 — the change log holds the rows.

Where they differ
- Cheapest way in: Sender at $7/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: both publish one — a plan priced at zero, not a trial. What each caps differs.
- How far each ladder goes: EmailOctopus tops out at €10/mo, Sender at $14/mo. A deeper ladder is not a worse deal — it is a bill that keeps climbing if you keep growing.
- Recently moved: Sender (2026-09-06). A change only counts once a second clean read agrees.
- Sender: We read the same $7/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country. It quotes USD here rather than local currency, so your bank sets the conversion.
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.
