Mailercloud vs Moosend Comparison 2026
Mailercloud gives away 12,000 emails a month free with no card, then $10 a month for unlimited sends at the entry band. Moosend has no free plan at all, only a 30 day trial, then $7 a month billed annually for automation, segmentation and landing pages bundled into one tier. Mailercloud wins on having a real permanent free plan. Moosend is cheaper at its first paid step and includes more features in that single price, but nothing survives once the trial ends without paying.

Mailercloud
Twelve thousand free emails every month
Mailercloud gives twelve thousand emails a month on a free plan that needs no card, which is one of the larger permanent allowances in this category. Above it, a single cheap tier lifts the send limit rather than adding features. A separate email API is sold beside the marketing product for anybody who needs transactional sending too. The list-management and reporting tools are ordinary rather than clever, and the free allowance is the reason to be here.
Our note
The free allowance is the reason to look, and it is larger than Mailjet's or MailerLite's on emails a month. Check the contact bands before growing, because the price moves on contacts once you are paying even though the free tier is measured in sends.
Moosend
Email marketing with automation on every plan
Moosend puts automation, segmentation and landing pages on its single paid tier rather than staging them across four, so the price rises with list size instead of with features. Subscribers are the meter. A thirty-day trial runs without a card, which is longer than most of this category offers and long enough to migrate a list and actually send. There is no permanent free plan underneath it, so the trial is a deadline rather than a fallback.
Why people weigh these two
- Moosend instead of Mailercloud
- Moosend includes automation on every plan from $7.
- Mailercloud instead of Moosend
- Mailercloud gives twelve thousand free emails every month permanently, a fallback Moosend does not offer once its trial ends.
Which one should you pick
Pick Mailercloud if a permanently free allowance matters, since 12,000 emails a month costs nothing indefinitely, with no trial clock running out. Its own listing admits the tools around that allowance are plainer than the automation-heavy platforms it undercuts on price.
Pick Moosend if you want automation, segmentation and landing pages bundled at a low price and do not need a standing free plan. Pro is $7 a month billed annually, cheaper than Mailercloud's paid step, backed by a 30 day trial long enough to migrate a real list, though the account needs a paid plan once that trial ends.
Common questions
- Which has a free plan, Mailercloud or Moosend?
- Mailercloud does, permanently, at 12,000 emails a month with no card required. Moosend has no free plan at all, only a 30 day trial before a paid subscription is required to keep sending.
- Which is cheaper at the first paid tier?
- Moosend, at $7 a month billed annually against Mailercloud's $10 a month paid step. Moosend also bundles automation and landing pages into that price, where Mailercloud's paid tier mainly lifts the send limit.
- Does Mailercloud include automation like Moosend does?
- Its own listing describes it as plainer than the tools it undercuts, without the depth of automation and segmentation Moosend bundles into its single Pro tier. Mailercloud's strength is the size of its free allowance rather than feature depth.
- What happens to my Moosend account after the 30 day trial?
- The vendor states the account and data remain and can be reactivated by upgrading or buying email credits, so nothing is deleted immediately. Sending stops, though, until a paid plan is chosen, unlike Mailercloud's free tier which continues indefinitely.
