Moosend, the budget line that still sends unlimited
Budget pricing, unlimited sends, and the automation basics covered.
Moosend is the value pick: the lowest published entry price of the nine platforms, unlimited email sends on every plan, and the automation basics included. The catch is there is no permanent free plan, only a thirty-day trial, so you commit sooner than with MailerLite or Sender.
Choose Moosend for
- The lowest published entry price with unlimited campaigns
- Straightforward automations on a tight budget
Look elsewhere if
- A permanent free plan: there is only a 30-day trial
- Teams that need published prices at every list size
The Pro plan and its ladder
| Moosend | 500 contacts | 1,000 contacts | 2,000 contacts | 3,000 contacts | 5,000 contacts | 8,000 contacts | 10,000 contacts | 25,000 contacts | 50,000 contacts |

Priced by contacts with unlimited email sends; annual billing saves 20%. No permanent free plan: a 30-day trial covers up to 1,000 contacts. Current amounts: the official Moosend pricing page.
Moosend keeps one self-serve plan, Pro, and prices it by contacts with unlimited sends. Its ladder does not step at the same sizes as its rivals: there is no 2,500-contact rung, for instance, so a list of that size lands on the 3,000 tier. Moosend+ and Enterprise exist for transactional email, dedicated IPs and account management, but only on quote. The Moosend plan dossier lists every rung with its annual price and the one step that costs more per contact. To see where your exact list sits against the other eight, use the cost calculator.
Trial, not a free tier
Unlike MailerLite or Sender, Moosend has no free-forever plan. The thirty-day trial sends without limits for up to a thousand contacts, which is enough to rebuild a newsletter, wire an automation and judge the editor before paying. If you need a standing sandbox next to production, that is a point against Moosend; if you already know you are switching, the trial covers the evaluation.
Automations without the depth tax
Moosend covers the standard automation path (welcome series, abandoned browse, date triggers) with a utilitarian builder. It does not reach the branching, scoring and CRM handoff of ActiveCampaign, and it does not pretend to. For a budget-conscious newsletter or a simple store flow, that is the right trade; for behaviour-driven journeys, look at the automation-first tier of the registry.

Questions people also ask
Does Moosend really have the lowest entry price?
Among the nine platforms here, its lowest published paid rung is the cheapest, and sends are unlimited. Whether it stays cheapest at your size depends on the ladder step you land on, which the calculator settles.
Is there a free plan?
No, only a thirty-day trial with unlimited sends up to a thousand contacts. For a permanent free tier, compare Sender and MailerLite.
Can I get transactional email and a dedicated IP?
Yes, but through the custom Moosend+ or Enterprise plans, priced on quote rather than published. The self-serve Pro plan does not include them.
