What is the best email and sms provider that is not expensive?

[SA222]

I am using mailchimp but it is not working. All emails are sent directly to spam. I have to change it. I am using yotpo for SMS and reviews. What service/app would you recommend me? I don´t have a lot of money to spend on this. Klaviyo seems pricy and omnisend is ok. I am guessing that the email service of yotpo is not good enough. Any suggestions? I really want my emails to hit the inbox - if not i could use SMS instead and disregard email totally. What have you done? And what do you suggest. I am located in Norway so a lot of the sms providers are expensive. Yotpo is the cheapest one.

Hi @SA222 !

You can also try to use Shopify Email App which is totally free. You can also explore other email marketing apps such as, Automizely Email Marketing,SMS - Email, Popup, SMS, Marketing Tool All-in-One, SmartrMail Email Marketing SMS, and Privy ‑ Pop Ups, Email, & SMS. Here is the full list of email marketing applications that you can check and see what works best for you as well: Best Email marketing Apps For 2024.

If Mailchimp isn’t working for you and you’re finding Klaviyo too pricey, I’d recommend Sendinblue as a more affordable alternative for email. Yotpo is good for SMS, but if you’re looking for a cheaper option, you might want to look into push notifications via UnblockedBrands. They’ve been more cost-effective for me, allowing real-time engagement without needing an app, which could complement your SMS strategy.

If you’re looking for an affordable solution, I’d recommend Omnisend for both email and SMS marketing. It offers good functionality at a lower price than Klaviyo. For SMS, SMSBump is a great choice, especially for Shopify users. If you want a more real-time alternative to email and SMS, push notifications via UnblockedBrands are also cost-effective and offer instant engagement.
