Ascend by Wix
Ascend by Wix appears to give you everything you need to promote your Wix site, and for an affordable price. But when I upgraded to a paid plan, I found that it was lacking essentials like email testing tools and multi-step automations. While it's convenient to have all your website and marketing needs in one place, I'd suggest taking a look at Sendinblue’s free plan – it...
Textbroker
If you need to outsource content creation, Textbroker is a decent option, as you choose the quality level you want and pay accordingly. But this marketplace has some major drawbacks that you should know about before you sign up so you can avoid wasting time and money.
Weebly Promote
If you have a Weebly website, Promote looks like an easy way to add on email marketing. But when I tested out the platform, I found that it offered overly basic segmentation and automation, and the sending capacity had hard limits. Although it’s convenient to use the same service to manage all your marketing needs, I’d recommend Sendinblue instead – it offers advanced...
Squarespace Email Campaigns
For Squarespace customers, Email Campaigns seems like a convenient way to handle email marketing. But when I signed up for a paid plan, I found that it lacked key features like subscriber segmentation, advanced automations, and useful analytics. While using a single service to manage your website and email marketing might be efficient, I’d recommend taking a closer look at...

Benchmark Email Pricing 2024 – How to Avoid Extra Costs
At first glance, Benchmark appears to be one of the most reasonably priced email marketing services out there.
