Omnisend
Only if you also ship physical products
Built for online stores rather than courses. Worth it when the course sits next to a Shopify catalog.
Who it suits, and who it doesn't
Worth your time if
- You want a working welcome sequence without paying anything yet.
- Your list is at or under 250 and you want to start free.
- You sell physical products next to the course.
Look elsewhere if
- 500 free emails a month is roughly 2 sends to a 250-person list.
- You want a bigger free allowance. Kit gives 10,000.
Omnisend, answered
- Does Omnisend have a free plan?
- Yes. Omnisend's free plan covers 250 subscribers and 500 emails/mo. We read this off their pricing page on 5 September 2026.
- Can Omnisend send an automated welcome sequence on the free plan?
- Yes. Automation included, but 500 sends is tight. That matters more than it sounds: most free plans let you broadcast but will not automate, so a new subscriber gets nothing until you sit down and write to them.
- What does Omnisend cost once the free plan runs out?
- The entry paid plan is Standard at $11.20/mo, at 1,001-1,500 contacts. Prices on every platform here move with list size, so treat that as the floor rather than the bill.
- What is the catch with Omnisend?
- 500 free emails a month is roughly 2 sends to a 250-person list.
