Below is a comparison of the top email marketing companies I have tried. I intentionally left Mailchimp out. I tried Mailchimp some time back and had them lock my account because the headline “27 Bloggers To Follow If You Want To Be Self-Employed.” I decided I couldn’t risk my business on a poor spam algorithm.
Right now I use Aweber, but the experience I had with the other companies was good.
