Give Four Claps for Email Octopus
We set this up in just over an hour, including adding all our lists. Having used MailerLite, Mailchimp, and other services, this one jumped to the top because of its excellent social mission.
PROSEmailOctopus is easy to set up, with plenty of handy support from real people who are clearly invested in the product. Most of the features currently meet the industry standard from what I've seen among other services, and they're still building out a lot of features as well. I'm excited for what's to come.
CONSIt's still a little early, but the number one thing needed for our use case is deeper Zapier integration (more triggers, more things to be triggered by).
Reasons for switching to EmailOctopus
MailerLite had a very pesky system for flagging bounce rates and a short leash. Their customer support was unnecessarily punitive.

Fantastic Newsletter Publishing and List Maintenance Service
After a service I'd been using for eight years started developing functionality problems, I checked out competitors and came to EmailOctopus on the basis of a recommendation. Haven't looked back.
PROSEverything WORKS. It's easy to import lists. It's easy to set up lead capture pages to get new subscribers. It's easy to create newsletter templates. It's easy to publish campaigns and get them delivered.
CONSThere's nothing I dislike about EmailOctopus, but if I could suggest one feature it would be social media account linking as opposed to having to manually post links to campaign emails to Facebook and Twitter.
Reason for choosing EmailOctopus
The price was right and EmailOctopus handled specific functions I needed better than Sendgrid (I do use Sendgrid for some other projects).
Reasons for switching to EmailOctopus
My previous service was becoming more complex and less functional/reliable.

Easy to use
The website is very quick and easy to use.
CONSThere's really nothing I don't like about it.
Reasons for switching to EmailOctopus
It was much too expensive for me. I am an indie author and couldn't afford the monthly fee for the number of subscribers I have.
