The short version

  • Only Wrike has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Postmark free tier caps at 100 emails per month with no overages allowed; Wrike seats are sold in blocks rather than singly: groups of 5 up to 30 seats, groups of 10 up to 100, and groups of 25 above that, so adding one person can mean paying for five
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

Postmark

  • Free tier caps at 100 emails per month with no overages allowed

  • Custom high-volume pricing above the published tiers requires contacting sales

  • The Team plan is limited to 2 to 15 users and Business to 5 to 200
  • Business and above are annual subscriptions only
