Compare Bulk Email Senders Features and Pricing

If you send a variety of campaign types from different platforms (e.g. transactional from SendGrid and marketing from MailChimp) consider consolidating all your email in a single platform with a single price point, with unified customer data and real-time engagement tracking across email types.

*SendInBlue offers a Lite plan for $25/month, that includes 40,000 emails per month, but on this plan SendInBlue logo isn’t removed and features are very limited so it’s less comparable to other providers.

**Since this post focuses on marketing (aka newsletter or broadcast) email campaigns, we are comparing to SendGrid’s Marketing and not API plans pricing.

***MailGun’s Flex is a pay-as-you-go plan that allows you to send any email frequency, we chose x2 monthly frequency to make comparison more comparable to SendGrid and SendInBlue.

Advanced Segmentation and Reporting

BigMailer supports merge tags in all fields – email template, subject line, preview, from label, and reply-to label fields. Personalizing your email template, subject line, and preview fields with your subscriber data is known to improve deliverability and inbox placement for high volume senders, as well as improve engagement. BigMailer supports conditional merge tags to allow you greater flexibility. For example, you can use conditional merge tags to provide fallback value if the field is empty. You can also customize your links with campaignID, subscriberID, email, and date merge tags, which is a technique typically used on ad modules or sponsored links to assist with performance tracking.

Unlike Sendgrid, BigMailer allows you to set custom tracking parameters (e.g. utm_ parameters for Google Analytics) on each campaign. Tracking clicks and conversions by campaign, allows you greater insight into your email marketing efforts and ongoing ROI optimizations.

You can use segmentation for your campaign targeting or exports in BigMailer based on:

• Your custom fields
• Campaign engagement – sent, opens, clicks, not sent, didn’t open, didn’t click – specific campaign or date range
• DateAdded – automatically added when a contact is added to BigMailer
• Location – if you use BigMailer signup forms the location is automatically captured (IP is not stored but converted to non-PII location data points like country, state, zip code, and latitude/longitude

Volume throttling feature can help large volume senders control and improve their email deliverability, especially if the subscriber lists isn’t very diverse and has a lot of gmail/yahoo/aol addresses.
