Detailed Review
KlickTipp leads with marketing automation rather than newsletter sending: tagging and scoring contacts by behaviour, triggering multi-step campaigns, and — on the higher tiers — an AI copywriter and a "SmartContact AI" scoring layer that most tools in this category do not offer at all.
Landing pages and SMS marketing are built into the same subscription rather than sold as add-ons, and the Deluxe plan's lead- and customer-acquisition tools push it closer to a small CRM than a mailing list manager. That breadth is the trade-off against the simpler, cheaper tools elsewhere in this grid: KlickTipp is built for automating a funnel, not just publishing a newsletter.
Klick-Tipp Limited is registered in London and states that it processes personal data exclusively within the European Union, despite the UK — like Ghost — sitting outside the EEA and relying on an adequacy decision rather than EU establishment.
Pricing runs from €30 a month for 2,500 contacts on Standard up to €170 a month for Enterprise, which scales to 21 million contacts and adds a one-time setup fee from €699; a 30-day trial is available. There are no paid memberships or paywall here either, and the pricing structure rewards a longer commitment: the 2-year rate runs roughly 20% below the monthly one at every tier.

- United Kingdom entity, outside the EEA and dependent on an adequacy decision
