Excellent
Makes creating email newsletters and managing the list so much easier. And for a fraction of the cost of MailChump etc. Developer is quick to offer support (I have the Pro version).

Just fab! One of the best, most promising plugins I started using last years!
Started to use the Pro version of this plugin only 2 days ago, and need to say: it's a joy to work with! Quick to set up, breeze to connect with SMTP2GO, easy to build templates, automations, etc. Came from the Fluent community, but things were getting just too much overkill for me. It feels like a boost of fresh air now I'm using Mailerpress. Very promising, keep up the good work!

Email Right Inside WordPress
MailerPress v2 puts email tools right in your WordPress site so you don’t need other 3rd party apps. If you're familiar to wordpress it’s super easy to use and makes nice-looking emails fast. This is perfect for site owners, freelancers, small businesses, and small teams. What MailerPress does as a WordPress plugin is, that it helps you make and send email campaigns fast. You can drag and drop blocks to build emails, pull in posts or products from your live site, manage lots of contacts, schedule emails, and connect to email sending services like SendGrid or use your own SMTP. It also copies your site’s colors so emails match your brand identity. Whats good: All-in-one in: Do everything from your dashboard — no hopping between WordPress and 3rd party tools. Easy editor + support for MJML: Drag-and-drop blocks and one-click template import make emails looks good, quickly. Pull live site content: You can directly add posts, products, or other items from your site right into your emails. Matches your site’s brand identity: It'll use site’s colors and fonts automatically. Lots of sending options: Works with services like Brevo, SendGrid, Mailgun, SES, or your SMTP. Unlimited contacts and lists: Add as many people as you want. Saves money: No need for pricey third-party services. Works for many users: They have plans for one site, three sites, or unlimited sites as well. Cons No built-in mailer: You obviously need a delivery service or SMTP for best results. Some features need paid version: Advanced option are in the paid plan. Some learning for advanced stuff: Basic use is easy, but fancy targeting or reports will take some time to learn. My take is, that I’m really happy with MailerPress. It makes my email work simple and keeps everything in WordPress. So if you want easy to use email marketing plugin that match'll your site branding and don’t want extra costs, this will be a great pick.
