Sender.net

Sender.net's free-forever plan is unusually generous for this category: 2,500 subscribers and 15,000 emails a month, with the drag-and-drop editor, automation and templates included rather than gated behind a paid tier.

For a creator or small business starting a newsletter with no budget, that is enough list size to run a real publication for a year before a plan decision is forced, well beyond MailerLite's 500-subscriber free ceiling. Integrations with WordPress, WooCommerce and Shopify cover the platforms a small e-commerce or content business is actually built on, and SMS is bundled into the paid tiers rather than sold separately.

UAB Sender.lt operates from Vilnius, so a European sender's data sits with an EU-established processor.

Once the free tier is outgrown, Standard starts at $6.30 a month for 500 subscribers and 6,000 emails billed annually, and Professional adds deeper automation from $10.50 a month — prices quoted in dollars despite the Lithuanian base, the same pattern this category already has in Moosend. What Sender.net does not do is sell subscriptions: there is no paywall or membership tier, and the entity name appears only in the legal pages, not on the marketing site itself.

What Sender.net does well

• Free-forever plan covers 2,500 subscribers, far above MailerLite's 500
• Drag-and-drop editor and automation included on the free tier
• WordPress, WooCommerce and Shopify integrations built in
• Lithuanian company, EU jurisdiction
• Affordable paid tiers once the free plan is outgrown

Where Sender.net falls short

• No paid memberships or paywall
• Prices quoted in dollars despite the EU base
• Company entity named only in the legal pages, not the marketing site
• Smaller feature depth than Brevo or GetResponse at the top end

Standout feature. The free tier alone: Sender.net gives away five times MailerLite's free subscriber limit before asking for a card.
