Your recommended email providers are changing prices - some free tiers removed
Posted: Thu Nov 24, 2016 1:52 pm
Hello,
This isn't a bug per se, but I thought it was something you'd want to be aware of: some of your recommended email providers seem to be changing their pricing structures.
As far as I can tell, SendGrid no longer offers a free tier up to 12k emails; it now has a 30-day trial.
JangoMail's free tier expires in 30 days, then jumps to a whopping $90/month.
Mandrill seems to have been absorbed by MailChimp, and requires a MailChimp account to use.
MailGun is now the only remaining option out of the 4 that has a free tier, up to 10k emails/month. If that disappears, then users will no longer be able to use AllProWebTools's Email Marketing feature without incurring additional costs that aren't apparent up-front. As a provider, I'm concerned that that could negatively affect my relationship with the clients I'm setting up in AllProWebTools, as well as affecting their relationship with AllProWebTools.
Do you know of any additional email providers you could partner with, that still have a free tier? If not, do you think you could negotiate a deal for AllProWebTools users with JangoMail and/or SendGrid, to ensure that AllProWebTools users will continue to have access to their free tiers, and check with MailGun to make sure they aren't going to remove their free tier? I don't want to have to spring a bad surprise on my clients.
Thank you very much for your attention to this matter, and have a great Thanksgiving!
