What you would be giving up
Moosend is most often brought in for a small ecommerce store that wants abandoned cart automation without paying for a tier upgrade to unlock it, a charity or seasonal business that sends heavily twice a year and would waste a monthly subscription, using the credit packs instead, an agency managing several small client lists that needs automation on every account without per-account tier jumps, a business moving off mailchimp purely on cost that still needs landing pages and a working automation builder. Anything replacing it has to cover the ones you actually depend on, and a cheaper tool that misses one of them is not cheaper.
Two things this page cannot settle. It compares on price, model, tier count and rating, because those are the fields the category listing carries, feature-level differences need both full records, which is what the head-to-head pages load. And the ratings are third-party aggregates imported with each entry rather than reviews written here, so a 0.2 difference between two tools is noise rather than a finding.
If Moosend is broadly right and the question is cost, the Moosend pricing breakdown covers every tier and what each one adds. If you want the whole field rather than a shortlist, the Email Marketing category lists everything the directory holds, and best email marketing tools ranks them.
Moosend runs on web, api. Platform coverage is not carried on the category listing for the alternatives, so it is one more thing to check on each head-to-head page rather than here.
