<div><p>Thanks Steven - this looks good. <br>
</p><p>How important do you think segmentation is? I think it could be

sending different emails to people interested in different venues

While we were preparing for FOSS4GUK we talked about the
possibility of building a mailing list to send infrequent
newsletters to people who attended our events but might not want
to follow this list. This would help us market to potential
attendees and sponsors.

<div>I undertook to review the free tiers of several of the
commercial services. I did not consider any self hosted
solutions as I don’t have the skills to stand something like
that up, but if anyone is willing to do that feel free to put
your hand up!</div>
<div><br>

<div>Here are the best options that I found:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Zoho is free for up to 2k contacts and 6k emails per month
but has no segmentation <a href="https://www.zoho.com/campaigns/pricing.html?src=dd" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://www.zoho.com/campaigns/pricing.html?src=dd</a></li>
<li>Brevo (formerly Send in Blue) offers unlimited contacts
but only 300 emails per day (so would require batching
somehow) and includes segmentation <a href="https://www.brevo.com/pricing/marketing-platform/see-all-features/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://www.brevo.com/pricing/marketing-platform/see-all-features/</a></li>
<li><br>
</li>
<li>Sender looks good 2,500 free contacts and 15,000 sends per
month, includes segmentation. They also offer a PAYG model
where we pay £4.68/1000 emails if we need the advanced
features but only a few times per year <a href="https://www.sender.net/pricing/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://www.sender.net/pricing/</a></li>
