Laposta

Laposta is a newsletter tool from Laposta B.V. in Zutphen, and its free plan covers 2,000 contacts and 12,000 emails a month — four times the contacts of MailerLite's free plan at the same monthly email allowance. Paid use combines a subscription, from €210 a year for up to 500 contacts, with mail credits from €9, and Laposta quotes those prices excluding 21% VAT.

Laposta names its hosting subprocessors, and both are Dutch: the servers sit in a Dutch data centre, hosted by BIT B.V. in Ede and TransIP B.V. in Leiden. Delivery support comes from Postmastery B.V. in Amsterdam, which stores its data in the EU. For a Dutch sender the question of where subscriber data lives therefore has an answer that never leaves the Netherlands, and Laposta has held ISO 27001 certification since 2018.

Laposta's feature set is aimed at newsletters rather than multi-channel campaigns: accessible templates, automations driven by triggers and contact fields, and open and click tracking that the sender can switch off. That last option suits an organisation that would rather not record what each reader opens.

What Laposta does well

• Laposta itself and both named hosting firms are Dutch
• Free plan for 2,000 contacts and 12,000 emails a month
• ISO 27001 certified since 2018
• Open and click tracking can be switched off
• Accessible newsletter templates and trigger-based automations

Where Laposta falls short

• Paid use mixes a subscription with mail credits, so both list size and send volume move the bill
• The cheapest subscription, €210 a year, is sized for up to 500 contacts
• Prices are listed excluding 21% VAT
• Positioned as a newsletter tool rather than a multi-channel marketing suite

Standout feature. Both hosting providers behind Laposta are Dutch, as is Laposta B.V. itself: BIT in Ede and TransIP in Leiden, so the answer to where the servers stand stays inside one country.
