Where each one falls short

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

Postmark

  • Free tier caps at 100 emails per month with no overages allowed
  • Basic plan ($15/mo) includes 10,000 emails then charges $1.80 per 1,000 extra; Pro and Platform tiers have their own lower per-1,000 overage rates ($1.30 and $1.20), so cost scales per email beyond the included volume
  • Custom high-volume pricing above the published tiers requires contacting sales

ProWritingAid

  • Free plan limited to 500 word count with only 2 report runs per day
  • Advanced AI features (50 Sparks per day, Chapter Critiques) only in Premium Pro tier
  • Desktop apps for Mac and Windows; iOS/Android support limited to specific integrations
  • Yearly subscriptions significantly more cost-effective than monthly (67% savings)
