Why teams switch to PostBeagle

Built for WooCommerce

The PostBeagle plugin syncs orders and carts from your store directly, with no Zapier step. Abandoned-cart flows run on every plan including free, and order revenue is attributed to the campaign that drove it.

More sends for less on paid plans

At 10,000 subscribers PostBeagle is $29/month with 200,000 sends; EmailOctopus Pro is $44.50/month on monthly billing with 100,000.

Each subscriber counted once

PostBeagle counts a subscriber once however many lists they’re on. EmailOctopus’s help center says a contact on several lists counts once per list.

When EmailOctopus might be the better fit

We'd rather you pick the right tool than the wrong one.

  • You’re on the free plan and need more than 5,000 sends a month: EmailOctopus’s free plan allows 10,000.
  • You don’t run a store and want the simplest possible newsletter tool.
  • You want unlimited team members on a paid plan.
