A MailPoet Alternative with No Subscriber Limit

Both are WordPress plugins. MailPoet’s free plan covers up to 500 subscribers through its own sending service, and sending from your own SMTP needs a paid plan priced by subscribers. PrimoCRM’s free version has no contact limit and sends through your own SMTP or email provider from day one.

Email, names and any other column map to contact fields or custom fields
Assign lists and tags to everyone in the file
Import unsubscribed contacts with the Unsubscribed status, so they stay suppressed
Existing contacts are matched by email, never duplicated

QUESTIONS

Switching from
MailPoet

What you need, what moves across,
and what it costs.

How do I send email with PrimoCRM?

Through an SMTP server or email service provider that you connect, such as Amazon SES, Brevo or your host’s mail server. Many have free or low-cost tiers, and you pay them for what you send, not for how many contacts you keep. That works in the free plugin, with no subscriber limit.

Will my unsubscribed subscribers stay unsubscribed?

Yes, if you import them that way. Import them with New Contact Status set to Unsubscribed, or map a status column, and PrimoCRM will never email them.

Do my newsletters and automations move across?

No. The import brings your audience. Email designs and automations are rebuilt in PrimoCRM, where campaigns are designed in the WordPress block editor and automations on a drag-and-drop canvas.

What does PrimoCRM cost?

The plugin is free on WordPress.org with unlimited contacts. Pro is a one-time payment from $79 with lifetime updates. Your email provider charges for sending on its own terms.

Grow Past 500, Free

Install the free plugin from WordPress.org, import your MailPoet subscribers, and send through your own provider with no subscriber limit. Pro is there when you want it, for one payment.
