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

Polymail reviews

Being a very early started (back when it was free), i've loved Polymail's ability to fill the void that Mailbox left in our email workflows. It is an amazingly simple, easy to handle and clean email workflow tool. Standard snooze and remind options aside, i think they are onto something with the recent additions to Campaigns features and Salesforce.com integrations. They are excellent for a user within a sales organization who wants to super-charge their communication, outbound and email workflow.

Excited at first and way too often frustrated with a bloated and unintuitive application. I only use it for "special" emails. When I really need to know if an attachment has been downloaded or when I need to get a message to many people.

At one time, Polymail decided to make many of its winning features available only to paid subscribers. The free version is still a capable email client, but it's now less attractive than before compared the competitions.

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.

Pros & cons

Polymail

Pros
Embraces the apple ecosystem (available on mac and iOS and syncs seamlessly)
Great email marketing tools: tracking who opened it, sending reminder follow ups, and scheduling are all great additions
It has a very useful and featured packed free plan that can help you out if you are a startup or a small business just starting out
I like the features of Polymail - they really focus on making sure you are spending intentional time with your inbox mail
We use it for everyone in our office
Overall it works great for us."

Cons
Not on Windows, which is a shame because of how many enterprise services use Windows
I hate that there is no Android mobile version of this software - yet
Search function is terrible
Does not honor replyto: in the message header
Not all emails are synced, some missing from inbox
More syncing issues when used across multiple devices (sent messages)."

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."
