The short version

  • Only Twist has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Flodesk flat monthly pricing starting near $19 to $25 per month on annual billing does not scale down for very small lists the way per-subscriber pricing from competitors can; Twist the free plan only exposes the last 1 month of comments and messages; older history is hidden until you upgrade
