Compare Sendora with Mailchimp

How per-send billing stacks up against per-contact billing — one rival at a time, with the numbers we can actually verify.

With Sendora, you pay for what you send — not who you've collected.

Per-contact tools bill every address sitting in your account: people who unsubscribed last year, addresses that bounced, contacts who haven't opened anything in months. The bill grows with your list whether you mail it or not. Sendora bills the other axis — the emails you actually send — and never counts an unsubscribed or bounced contact toward any limit. The mechanism is the whole difference; the numbers below are just its consequence.

Every figure on this page follows this selector. Unsubscribed and bounced contacts never count toward any Sendora limit, at any volume.

If a comparison page only lists what the author wins, it isn't a comparison. Data-honest positioning has to apply to our own marketing too — these are real reasons to stay where you are.

Apple Mail Privacy Protection preloads tracking pixels, so roughly 40–49% of recorded "opens" are machines, with no official way to filter them. That's why Sendora treats clicks as the number that means something.
