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

Unbounce

  • Starter tier severely limited to 5 pages and 500 monthly visitors; inadequate for most marketing campaigns
  • All tiers have monthly visitor caps; campaigns exceeding thresholds require upgrading to higher-priced plans
  • Optimize tier ($249/mo) capped at 50,000 monthly visitors; campaigns beyond this require custom Concierge pricing
  • AI copywriting and advanced optimisation features not explicitly detailed in lower tiers
  • Full customisation beyond templates requires adding custom JavaScript, CSS and HTML
  • FIPS 140-2 or advanced security features not documented as available
