Pros

“This would allow our fraternal organization to have oversight of those working with us while allowing them to have separate user logins.”

Ashlyn E.

President of Commercial Real Estate

“I wish Sender.net had the ability for me to have email sub-accounts with the same domain on the sender.net website.”

Ashlyn E.

President of Commercial Real Estate

“the app is very simple to use and we can make some good 'newsletter' email campaigns. although we don't make a vast amount of campaign, I really like the 'pay as you go' that gives me a number of email that i can send and then 'top-up' the number of emails as and when required.”

David T.

Advisor - Co Founder

Pros

“Wish there were more design template options for both the newsletter and the archives page, and that readers had a more visible way of interacting so they can reply/comment to each other on posts.”

Amanda S.

freelance writer

“In addition to being easy to use, the company provides personalized support: the team quickly responds to any email you send them, making the experience of using the service as close to being served by someone at the counter of a store with years of tradition as possible, rather than the cold service of a mega corporation.”

Adriano M.

Owner

“In a world where social media is trying to control the message as well as the means, it is vital to have a direct way to contact those interested in my work.”

Dusty P.

Cons

“Sender lacks advanced design customization and has limited integrations compared to other email platforms.”

Timothy A.

Owner

“I requested clarification and deletion of my data, but the support response was dismissive and unhelpful.”

Teoman L.

Structural engineer

“They don't give you much of a learning curve/trial period when you are new to email marketing.”

Emily H.

Admin

Cons

“I accidentally misnamed the newsletter at first because I thought I was just filling out a username for the website, although I haven't used one of these sites before.”

Cass A.

Head Writer for Non-fiction

“Then seeing the poor delivery rate & getting no response from support for weeks, I grew frustrated and disappointed, and started looking for alternatives.”

Rupert M.

CEO

“I've gotten several emails about my newsletters landing in spam, which is a bummer.”
