MailerLite
Email marketing that stays cheap as lists grow
MailerLite sends campaigns, runs automations and hosts the signup forms feeding them, and prices all of it under the tools it competes with. The editor is plain in a way that suits people who write more than they design. The free plan stops at 250 subscribers, which is a fraction of what beehiiv and Kit give away, so the comparison is really about what you pay at ten thousand.
Our note
The cheap end of email, done properly. Kit is better at automation and beehiiv at growth, and MailerLite wins on the bill, which for a list that is not itself the product is often the only comparison that matters.

- Covers newsletter & email
Stripo
Build an email template once, export it anywhere
Stripo designs the email and then hands it to whatever actually sends it, exporting to a long list of platforms rather than trying to be one. That suits anybody happy with their sending tool and unhappy with its editor. Modules can be saved and reused across a team so a brand's blocks stay consistent. It does not send, track or hold a list, so it is an addition to an email stack rather than a replacement for one.
