Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today.

Direct Mail reviews

This is a core part of my communication toolkit. While I still use other mailing list platforms for specific purposes, this solves very specific bulk mailing needs.

- Ian G. Producer

It's absolutely helped us to expand our reach. Recipients often comment on how beautiful our emails are. Very satisfying to use and to receive such feedback.

- Magda B. Executive Director

I was looking for a low-cost mail program that was very easy to learn and get up and running. The major issue was getting a zap to work, but once that was working, I was very happy with the result. Likewise, zaps for onsite forms. But the learning curve for actually USING it, and sending emails. Cost per email is very very low - I buy 10K at a time for $99 so one cent each. Pretty good pricing! Delivery is almost instantaneous, and it is fun to watch the responses roll in.

Acumbamail reviews

Overall, I am happy with my purchase and I can use this for my personal brand that I just started. It is also good to know that I am in great, experienced hands to manage my emails.

Acumbamail offers some interesting features that other email newsletters don't have, such as SMS and landing pages. But I never intended to use those, and I don't see those as benefits when I'm not that big a fan of their primary service, the newsletters. On the bright side, they offer a ton of subscribers and monthly mailing limits.

Acumbamail has many features, including automation, SMTP and SMS. That makes Acumbmail difficult to outgrow.

Pros & cons

Direct Mail

Pros
Excellent, this is so much easier to use than Mail Chimp
I love the fact I can work on campaigns locally on my computer without being online and not in a browser
The lists and address management is simple yet agile
Great program for managing email lists for mac users
It's the perfect scale and I love the ease of understanding the reporting, which becomes of direct benefit for following up and moving between lists."

Cons
You get what you pay for
With their one time payment option you don't get much customer service and you'll need to maintain your own servers
Then thats where you find out the support is AWFUL, as it seems to me theres only 2 people that work there, they refuse to talk on phone, and despite promises when chased up, they don't answer emails
Reporting is limited, there aren't enough ways to compare and contrast
Very hard to export reports and data in bulk
Editing of template could be a bit more flexible
Difficult to understand layout schema."

Acumbamail

Pros
Overall, I am happy with my purchase and I can use this for my personal brand that I just started
It is also good to know that I am in great, experienced hands to manage my emails
Acumbamail does show its strength and acts as good alternative to existing Email Marketing Tools
The most important thing with an email marketing solution is great email deliverability, which Acumbamail provides
Its a very affordable solution as compared to other software companies that lead the market
They have been arounds for more than 6 years and are a very mature product."

Cons
It's a bit confusing and there's no option to add our own SMPT but that's the point of their service
Getting some promotion e-mails from the company in Spanish
At the moment no Native integration with Thrive Suite
Major features are missing in the system, need to have lots of integration and functions
The pricing for sms automation is not country specific and costly
There is no information about what is underhood
We are very strict when it comes to acquiring software."
