Email service for Blog

[meetdilip]

Which email service do you use for your blog? Is it free? Does it deliver into the subscriber inbox?

I just use sendgrid to send and receive emails that don't stress my server as it's done by another service. Email is custom as you would have with your domain 😉 Then you just use Gmail and link it up so that you get emails coming to and from.

If emails are sent to people inboxes you know that you set it up right 😛 I used to go into spam when I first started.

Mailgun offers 5000 emails per month plus $1 per extra 1000 emails.

Better than SendGrid?

Is getting Google Workspace better for blog emails?

SendGrid is very good, been using them for two years and never had a system down. Plus they offer a free account option 😉 100 emails/day forever for free on the free account

Give them a try on there free option and it's simple to setup

I use the paid version of Google Apps. I find it to be the best email service that I've seen. I've used others and just wasn't a fan. So, I'm willing to pay a little bit for some elegant features!

I used to use mailchimp but had to stop because of low conversion. Mailchimp is free for 2000 emails. The service deliever emails to the inbox (emails don't land up in the spam box automatically)

Thanks @Shawn

Totally misread the email, Dilip.

You mean like a newsletter list?

If so, I use the free MailChimp version for now. I've heard CovertKit is becoming the top one though.

I plan to write a few blog posts and need some service to deliver them to those who subscribe. Maybe 3 blog posts per week.

I use mailchannels. Not sure how much I pay, but the mail always hits the inbox.

Thanks all, I have another blog doubt. Is the Jetpack plugin of any use these days? I see that almost all features are paid now.
