    As of October 2024 this video has less than 10,000 views and this says a lot about the RUclips algorithm and the reasons why we are being fooled by it.
    I’ve been researching and testing email marketing tools for the past 6 years. This review is the most honest I’ve found so far. It deserves so much credit for it.
    Hope I come back here in 2 years and find it with 1 million views. Cheers

    Crazy, I just came to the same conclusion a few months ago! Great choice! I use brevo and mailerlite in two different occasions. Brevo is by far the cheaper one. Mailerlite pricings can increase quite a lot when subscribers go up (at least for smaller companies or individuals) but their pricing is very transparent at least.
    Also worth noting is that both companies are situated in the EU which explains functionalities like being able to delete subscribers in automations etc. The privacy regulations (GDPR) are very strict here in Europe. Great video, thank you!

    As someone who constantly has to do this kind of work for their job (Researching software solutions) I appreciate the level you went into because it's what is required, and I understand just how much effort that takes to actually fully understand a product rather than getting on camera and reading out their features and pricing list and basically doing a live demo for the first time (Which honestly, is like 95% of youtube comparison/software review videos).

    I feel like you're the best channel to go to for clear, unbiased videos about making a website. I appreciate what I have learned so far. Would you ever consider making a video about where to purchase a domain? I've just wrapped up with a few hours of research on that and I have a candidate that I will most likely go with, but I'd like to hear what your recommendation is for a domain reseller.

      @@stevebuildswebsites CloudFlare seems the cheapest, Porkbun is fairly close and was the most recommended (although sometimes by paid advertisement), and Dynadot seemed like a great price, but no one talked about it for long. Squarespace is overpriced because most users don't know what a domain costs, Namecheap is no longer cheap, and Hover was recommended by many people because of the other services they offer, although it was on the high end of pricing. That being said, to buy one domain is not very expensive regardless, but money is money.

      @@stevebuildswebsites CloudFlare was cheapest but apparently not good for novices, Dynadot was next cheapest, but no one talked about it, Porkbun is a good price and was recommended by several people (sometimes by paid advertisement), NameSilo decent price, no one really talked about it much, Namecheap is no longer cheap, Hover is expensive but people said it was worth it for a few extra features that I don't understand, and lastly, Squarespace is overpriced if your domain is not free, probably because people aren't usually coming to Squarespace looking for a domain in the first place.

Even though they don't pay me (I pay them), I'm more than happy to recommend their product to anyone trying to market online!

    This is an awesome video. You did the tedious leg work so others can take a shortcut. Added value. The one thing I'm left wondering is whether Zoho Campaigns costs so much less money, that it far outweighs the saving of the lacking automatic downgrade. Also, I noticed Zoho costs a lot less in general. Do you think it's because it's an overseas company?
