Email Marketing Service Providers

We have tested several email service providers. Here are our conclusions:

1. ConstantContact.com
Best functionality, best performance, very strict antispam policy. Strict antispam policy makes managing large email lists (more than 20,000 contacts) virtually impossible - expect putting on hold and verification call after every email campaign.

2. Icontact.com
Good functionality, good performance, lax antispam policy. As your contact list grows, the price per 1,000 contacts becomes prohibitively expensive. Actually you are punished for expanding your contact base.

3. Fusemail.com
Basic and very affordable email marketing service. A few times they experienced problems with ISPs, email campaigns had very poor delivery rates at that time. Support staff gave some elusive talk when we asked what is the problem.

4. ContactPro.com
The same as Fusemail - basic and affordable, but with regular delivery problems. Email campaigns are frequently delayed, but if you complain insistently enough the support staff places you campaign on high priority list. Lately the Contactpro service has become complete dysfunctional.
