I like that EmailOctopus is an economic option, especially since Mailchimp is too expensive and I have limited resources. The templates are nice, and I find the functionality easy to use. The initial setup was very easy too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Feature rich, easy to use and personal support"
5/5
What do you like best about EmailOctopus?

In the past I have used several email marketing tools and almost all of them lacked a user-friendly email editor. With EmailOctpus it is different: logical functions, easy to learn, complete and the emails look great in all email clients. Besides the great software the company develops, the team provides great support, even for free accounts! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EmailOctopus?

I especially miss functionality for e-commerce. I wrote a plugin for WooCommerce that allows people to sign up via the checkout, but it is not possible to send product or order data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Email Marketing tool you need if you are a small business"
4.5/5
What do you like best about EmailOctopus?

The free plan is excellent, and the paid options are very reasonably priced. The tool itself is straightforward to use, with a clean and intuitive interface. The drag-and-drop editor makes creating content effortless. Additionally, it utilizes Amazon SES, which helps ensure reliable inbox placement without incurring high costs.

What do you dislike about EmailOctopus?

There are only a limited number of email templates to choose from, which can feel quite restrictive when compared to other tools. The automation features are very basic, and there are no options for trigger-based campaigns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A tool made by team of unsympathetic and unprofessional people"

What do you like best about EmailOctopus?

The UI seemed simple enough and not cluttered with useless features but it's not too fancy I think there are better alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EmailOctopus?

Their brainless right of deactivating your account an not giving any reason for it. Also their staff is pretty rude and impolite and lack basic communication etiquettes They don't even tell you anything let alone let you clarify anything that might have been miscommunicated.

"Simple, but affective for contacting mailing lists"
5/5
What do you like best about EmailOctopus?

Ease of use and simplicity. Mainly use it for a regular newsletter, but it gets the job done without headache. No user and contact cap also helps organise everything all-in-one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EmailOctopus?

Although EmailOcotpus is simple (which is excellent), it can sometimes be too simple. Lack of advanced features means it's difficult to use the service for everything beyond just a manual and automated mailing list. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
