Two solid choices in email marketing. Here's how they stack up on pricing, fit, and trade-offs — so you can decide in a minute.
Reviewed by Switchpoint Editors ·
Contender A
Loops
Modern email purpose-built for SaaS lifecycle and product marketing.
- SaaS founders running onboarding, trial, and re-engagement sequences.
- Free up to 1,000 contacts. Pro from $49/mo.
Best for
Pricing
Pros
- Beautiful, opinionated UX — onboarding flows take minutes
- Loops Transactional unifies marketing and product email
- Strong defaults so SaaS teams ship without an email manager
Trade-offs
- Not aimed at ecommerce blasts or commerce automation
- Pricing climbs faster than Brevo or MailerLite past 10k contacts
Contender B
Omnisend
Klaviyo's closest ecommerce rival with email, SMS, and push in one bill.
- Shopify and WooCommerce stores under ~50k contacts that want pre-built ecommerce flows without Klaviyo's price curve.
- Free up to 250 contacts / 500 emails. Standard from $16/mo, Pro (unlimited email + SMS credits) from $59/mo.
Best for
Pricing
Pros
- Pre-built abandoned cart, browse abandon, and post-purchase flows out of the box
- Bundled SMS and web push in the same plan — no separate add-on
- Pricing is consistently 20–40% under Klaviyo at the same contact count
Trade-offs
- Segmentation is less granular than Klaviyo's predictive analytics
- Reporting is simpler — fine for SMB, thin for data teams
