I love the email editor because it allows you to build both HTML text and simple plain-text emails. Also, it's affordable. Their customer support is also outstanding. Whenever I have questions they will answer them accordingly.
Cons
I like everything about this software. I recommend it to anyone looking for an email marketing tool. It is worth your bucks.

Pros
Started out using the free version. It has all of the features of the paid version which you can't say that about their competitors. Can immediately have more than one list as well as use automations. Gave me a great idea. how the program works and now I'm paying and a huge fan.
Cons
I am able to integrate Email Octopus pretty much everywhere I want. But, occasionally I need to use a third party software to do so. Which isn't a huge deal, but I'm sure that will start seeing email octopus in more and more native integrations.

Pros
It's very easy to build emails and work with forms and landing pages
Cons
Before being able to send any communication they sent you a set of questions about your data base and lists, where and how you acquire your contacts. They sent this like two hours before I've signed in. I'm supposed to give them all my info, wait for their approval and only then shoot my emails. This is absurd doesn't happen with any other provider I've used before (mailchimp, hubspot, etc)
Response from EmailOctopus
Hi there,
Sorry to hear you weren't happy with our approval process. We have an approval process in place to maintain our industry leading deliverability. During the approval process we look to find out what kind of emails you'll be sending and how the list was grown many companies continue to use purchased lists, which are not only against the law but impact the service massively too so having this step allows us to educate users and improve our service for all.
In many cases approval can be done immediately, without any additional questions. However at times we do need to get some additional information, this is what will have happened in your case.
Those questions only need to be answered once, and should take no longer than 2 minutes to answer.
While we appreciate those questions may add some additional friction to signing up, it's done with the best of intentions and is why our reputation is so high with the likes of Gmail and Yahoo.

Great service for the engineering-focused teams, while better alternatives exist
Reviewed on 2022/12/23
Pros
It’s a relatively simple service that gets you exactly where you want to be — send campaigns, post emails for subscription, etc.
Cons
It’s stuck somewhat in a limbo of not the absolute best experience for non-engineers (products like Mailchimp) and also not the best experience for engineers (products like Postmark)

Pros
I checked out EmailOctopus because my previous mail platform was changing it's pricing tiers and I found I was paying for services I didn't want or could not use.The pricing plans for EmailOctopus were better and I was impressed that even the free tier which I used to test the service gave me full access to everything (inc. API). Support has been fast and excellent.The service has a good modern UI and is very easy to use.
Cons
Not much I don't like - I had a little trouble changing the standard templates, but got what I wanted in the end.
