Overview

SendPulse and Sender both target budget-conscious businesses. For our take on each, see our SendPulse comparison and Sender comparison.

Sender's Budget Advantage

Sender is half the price of SendPulse and includes SMS. Its free tier lets 2,500 subscribers send 15,000 emails/month. For email and SMS on a budget, Sender is one of the best values in the market. No chatbots, no CRM, no frills, just affordable email and SMS.

SendPulse's Extra Channels
