### "Great for micro businesses"

July 21, 2025

5.0

Enjoying using Email Octopus so far, as a micro business I am very thankful for the service and finding it useful!

Pros

Reasons why I love Email Octopus: \*Really user friendly \*Easy to navigate \*A doddle to learn \*Effective way to communicate and present information to clients \*Great free features as well as paid features

Cons

Limits on free features could be less restrictive to really gauge it's usefulness. If these were lifted I would probably use it more and consider purchases.

I had been a customer for over 25 years and in that time the service that you get has reduced to absolute nothing. I did not feel valued at all.

### "Email Solutions from EmailOctopus"

April 27, 2025

5.0

It's been really good. I no longer hate putting my newsletter together. I find the template easy to work with and very intuitive.

Pros

I find EmailOctopus super easy to use. I can set up my newsletter quickly and I have even been able to set up some automated emails to welcome my new subscribers. Love it!

Cons

I struggle with the different email lists. I would like to be able to merge them and not just segment them. I have two lists that I use each month but as of right now, I have to send my newsletter out twice to get it to both lists.

Alternatives considered

[Flodesk](https://www.capterra.com/p/207268/Flodesk/)

Reason for choosing EmailOctopus

Cost and ease of use. Flodesk was expensive and harder to use.

### "EmailOctopus is AMAZING!!!"

June 29, 2025

5.0

I can't commend the support team enough with the speed of their responses! And that even goes for the users of the free version. They make me feel like my questions are important and worthy of a prompt response/resolution.

Pros

The reporting that is available to view who has opened, clicked links, bounces, etc is fantastic! I also love the sample templates to give ideas on layouts and content.

Cons

There isn't anything I don't like about EmailOctopus. Seriously, I have been using EmailOctopus for a year now and even the things I first wished I had access to, later became a reality as the developers enhanced the platform.

### "Hesitating to switch email clients? EmailOctopus is a superior alternative. "

June 18, 2025

5.0

I switched to EmailOctopus several years ago when Mailchimp just got too expensive. I was able to set up automated emails and used their tools to make great looking campaign emails. I've been very happy that I switched.

Pros

Email is a full value email client. They are also very very reasonable unlike most competing email clients.

Cons

There are no cons so far. I've enjoyed using EmailOctopus and haven't found a reason to contact them for any issues.

Switched from

### "A Simple, Reliable, and Cost-Effective Email Marketing Tool"

August 19, 2025

5.0

Overall, my experience with EmailOctopus has been very positive. It is reliable, user-friendly, and offers all the essential features I need for email marketing without overwhelming me with unnecessary complexity. I feel more in control of my campaigns and more connected to my audience thanks to this tool.

Pros

I really appreciate the clean and intuitive interface of EmailOctopus. It makes creating campaigns very straightforward, and the automation tools are easy to set up even for beginners. The pricing is also fair compared to other platforms, especially considering the features you get.

Cons

Some of the templates feel a bit limited in terms of design flexibility, and it would be nice to have more advanced editing options available. Also, a deeper integration with more third-party apps would make the workflow even smoother for users.

Switched from

### "An excellent and FREE way to send emails"

July 16, 2025

5.0

Overall, it has been an excellent experience, and the transition from another company was easy. Our subscribers are receiving their emails.

Pros

A free platform where I can schedule emails to be sent. It is very user-friendly and easy to use. The email designs are customizable. I haven't received a single complaint from a subscriber about not receiving our emails, so this is dependable. If you have an issue or question, the customer service is excellent.

Cons

Their embedded forms don't allow subscribers to choose which of our emails they'd like to receive. It only allows them to subscribe to all.

January 9, 2025

I love using EmailOctopus. It fits my business and also my budget.

### "Easy for Beginners"

September 22, 2025

5.0

My experience with EmailOctopus has been great. It has allowed me to get up and running with monthly newsletters to my readers.

Pros

I have zero experience in setting up a news letter. With EmailOctopus the learning curve was fast and easy. The system guides you through it, and the templates offered exactly what I was looking for. EmailOctopus makes it simple to duplicate previous campaigns and edit for the current month. I highly recommend. I'm on the free plan for now and it meets all my needs.

Cons

No cons for me. I'm highly satisfied. The only things that could be better would come with me switching to a paid plan, but for now, the free plan meets my needs.

### "Amazing service that saved my newsletter."

May 30, 2025

5.0

Overall email octopus has been amazing ! It has enabled us to send out a brand newsletter and was far easier to use than the competitor sites which we tried before and did not fit our requirements. It gives far more creative ability and gives far more options for customisation as well as tracking results from your email send out.

Pros

Easy to Use, Lower paid thresholds than other competitors. More editing options and flexibility in design.

Cons

Could enhance creative function a little further, whilst it offers a lot of creative direction there are some more features that could be added such as making the elements of a design more easily moveable and customisable.

Switched from

[Mailchimp](https://www.capterra.com/p/110228/MailChimp/)

It was expensive and didn't allow for creative design at all. It had features that claimed to work but didn't whenever I wanted to use them.

### "Great Email Marketing Tool"

October 20, 2025

5.0

It has been great from start to finish. From importing subscribers and designing newsletters, to the reliablity of the actual sending of emails. I've used EmailOctopus for 2 years and continue to find it great value in running a newsletter for my ecommerce business.

Pros

User interface is really nice and clean and easy to find what you need to do. Tracking clicks, unsubscribes, etc. is really helpful. Email sending has been 100% reliable.

Cons

Nothing of note. There are some advanced features I've seen on other products that EmailOctopus doesn't have, but nothing that would be of any value to what I use it for.

### "Using EmailOctopus for our neuroscientific community is no-brainer"

May 14, 2025

5.0

It's been great to be able to integrate EO into our workflow, I highly recommend it to folks who need to reach their community simply and easily.

Pros

EmailOctopus is straightforward to use - and is especially easy to bring my team on board. It is very affordable for the value we receive. Drafting visually appealing emails is very simple and fast!

Cons

Integrations between EmailOctopus and HubSpot have been very finicky to set up- and importantly we would like the audience name from HubSpot to carry forward into EmailOctopus. This makes evaluating metrics and replicating sends more complicated.

Alternatives considered

[Constant Contact](https://www.capterra.com/p/31898/Constant-Contact/)

Reason for choosing EmailOctopus

Price - especially the flexible monthly cost based on contact list was helpful.

Switched from

[Mailchimp](https://www.capterra.com/p/110228/MailChimp/)

Cost. We don't use all features of an email marketing content platform, so keeping the critical features that we use and forgoing the ones we didn't need was necessary.

It’s also brilliant to hear that our pricing and simple setup helped make the switch worthwhile. We’re big believers in keeping things easy and affordable without losing the tools that matter most.

### "Very Happy with EmailOctopus!"

May 24, 2025

5.0

So far, everything has been perfect. It was very easy to switch from my previous provider. There were one or two things I was confused about when switching, but EmailOctopus' support articles and asking ChatGPT made that very easy and quick to figure out. Everything has gone smooth, zero issues so far! The website is great. They make things easy to figure out and understand. I'm really liking EmailOctopus! Very easy 5/5. :)

Pros

I like the affordability the most about EmailOctopus. I used to use another email marketing provider, but I had that old service on pause for a long time because it got too expensive. Switching to EmailOctopus was a no-brainer decision. Also I really like how EmailOctopus gives back. They donate some profits to an Ocean Conservation charity, and give discounts to non-profits. In a world where the vast majority of businesses seem to only care about making as much money as possible, it's very refreshing seeing a company do things like this, and actually makes me feel good about using their service!

Cons

So far I've had zero complaints. Everything has gone really well! I wish I had something to say here haha, but I don't!

Also fantastic to hear that our support articles (and ChatGPT!) helped you out. If you ever need answers quickly again, feel free to try our own AI chatbot in your Dashboard. It’s trained specifically on our Knowledge Base, so it’s often a bit sharper than ChatGPT when it comes to EmailOctopus questions. You can also reach out to our support team – we're here whenever you need a hand. ;) Thanks again for your lovely review, we're thrilled to have you on board! 💜

### "Excellent Email Service"

August 11, 2025

5.0

I have been satisfied with no complaints. So far it has been a joy to use and at some point I will go on the paid plan.

Pros

I have used other platforms, but I wasn't satisfied with the quality and ease of use. Also, the service provided is very good and very secure. Currently I am on the free plan, but when my email list grows, I will consider a paid plan. The data and analytics are also easy to work with.

Cons

I have no cons to report. In the beginning there was some learning, but this is not a con as anything new has a learning curve.

### "Best customer service you will ever encounter!"

October 27, 2025

5.0

Superb, only using the free service currently because we do not have either a big enough customer list or do enough email marketing to warrant a paid for service currently. However, the customer service provided has been exceptional.

Pros

Have been using EmailOctopus for over a year now because of price hikes with a competitor. The customer service is superb, the software is easy to use and the email designs are professional. Now use this service for our email and campaign marketing.

Cons

I have no complaints at this time. Possibly more design variation and ability to use my brand fonts, but honestly I am happy with service.

April 27, 2025

I truly love it and have had other coworkers use it after recommending it. I have tried other email/campaign programs, but EmailOctopus is straightforward and simple - just what I need!

Pros

SO easy and a quick way to send information to the parents of my students. As a teacher, time is limited so this saves time and makes it easy for parents to view. I love the. schedule feature and being able to see who has or hasn't opened their email.

Cons

I would love to be able to add a PDF into the layout. Sometimes I have a permission slip or a flyer that I want my students' parents to see so that would be nice to add that into the template.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience, Virginia. It’s brilliant to hear EmailOctopus is helping you save time and keep parents in the loop! I totally get your use case for attaching files to your campaigns. While adding PDFs directly into emails isn’t recommended (it can hurt deliverability), you can upload your file to a cloud service like Google Drive or Dropbox and link to it in your email. That way, parents can still access the document easily. Feel free to reach out to our support team if you need help with that. Oh, and thank you for spreading the word to your coworkers – we really appreciate it! 💜

August 6, 2025

5.0

I am very happy with using Email Octopus to distribute the weekly e-edition of our small town newspaper. We don't have a large list of subscribers, so this fits the bill.

Pros

It is very user friendly and allows me to do what I need to do for our small newspaper for the appropriate fee, unlike bigger distributors that cost an arm and a leg.

Cons

I wish there was a slightly easier way to view and add contacts from a list. Importing got most of the work done, but not entirely.

### "The BEST Customer Service "

June 22, 2025

5.0

My experience has been that EmailOctopus values me - eventhough I am only using the free version of the service at this point. I have not found similar service with other platforms (I did try a few and switched for this reason).

Pros

As am artist and a micro-business owner I am on very limited finances. EmailOctopus was the ONLY platform I could find where a real human was willing to talk to me, help me set up an account, and trouble shoot issues with me without having a paid account. Their customer service is amazing and I plan on continuing to use EmailOctopus as I scale my business.

Cons

I use the platform to send an in frequent newsletter. At this point it has been very user friendly.

June 2, 2025

Really easy to use, easy to upload all my contacts. Easy to use templates for emails, drop and drag is great for creating your own designs. Like how you can set up your own brand so it's there to use each time. Found it does what I want but in such a simple way as I was so confused when trying and using other sites.

Pros

Easy to use. I have tried other site before and just got completely lost and wasn't able to do what I wanted. I was recommended email octopus and straight away I found it was easy to use, great help section if I did need help, and useful set up emails which I could use as a guide when needed.

Cons

sometimes when uploading my own images it can be a bit slow, but im trying hard to find something negative.

easier to use and was recommended. after trialling it I knew I could work with this.

A brilliant service for little to no cost. An intuitive piece of software which is easy to use and create engaging emails easily.

Pros

The amount of features for free is amazing. It's very easy to navigate and achieve great results extremely quickly!

Cons

There are very few downsides to Email Octopus! If there were anything, I'd like to be able to edit contacts more thoroughly after uploading them in bulk from a csv file.

### "Efficient, productive, simple email marketing"

February 4, 2025

5.0

Very good. I recommend to any marketeer or small/medium business as a less bloated alternative.

Pros

The product allows my business to send 50k+ emails a month, for a low monthly cost. I like the simplicity. Other senders are bloated and high cost. The product has similarities to my own business, british, simplicity, and well built.

Cons

The only thing I would change is the ability to send to multiple lists at a time / with de-dupping. But no biggie.

Alternatives considered

price and simplicity, also British made.

### "It's a YES from me!"

September 25, 2025

5.0

It's been a big learning-curve for me, and I cannot fault the help and support I've received from them over the past several years.

Pros

I use Email Octopus to send out monthly newsletters. I'm no techy and initially found it challenging to set up but the support team were so helpful that I was up-and-running very quickly. That was several years ago, but I still quite often find myself struggling and reach out for support. The response is always very fast, and their patience is seemingly inexhaustible!

Cons

I can't think of anything I can criticise or would change because I recognise that I'm the one with the problem, not them!
