Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

ConvertKit

  • The free Newsletter plan allows only one basic visual automation, so sequences beyond a single flow require paying
  • The free plan is a single user, and the Creator plan at $33 a month allows two
  • Subscriber signals, engagement analytics and paid recommendations are Pro only, at $66 a month
  • A/B testing is capped at 2 subject lines below Pro, which allows 5
  • Paid pricing is banded by subscriber count, so the published figures apply only at the smallest band

Prezly

  • The Essential plan at 100 euros a month covers one site, one user and 5,000 contacts, and carries Prezly branding
  • Removing the branding and getting white-label sites requires Standard at 250 euros a month
  • Standard still allows only two users
  • The uptime SLA is Enterprise only
  • Advertised prices are the annual rates, with a 20 percent premium for paying monthly
