The Bottom Line

VerticalResponse is a good email marketing service with a full-featured free plan, but we experienced several glitches in testing.

Pros & Cons

    • Generous free plan.
    • Simple interface.
    • Knowledgeable, helpful customer support.
    • Can send an unlimited number of emails per month.
    • Glitches with uploading contacts and reporting in testing.
    • Generic pre-designed templates.

There are many ways to market your business and attract customers; email campaigns are one such method. Many email marketing services offer a free trial, which is a great way to take a test drive. It doesn't get much better than that, right? Well, how about a free plan that never expires? VerticalResponse (free plans available) offers just that, and the plan includes all but a few of the advanced features that are included with paid offerings. Setting up an account is easy, though some of the features need work. For a better all-around service that is also free, consider our basic Editors' Choice in the field, MailChimp; if you're willing to pay a bit more, Campaigner is our Editors' Choice for advanced email marketing.
