Overview

Mailmodo and Moosend represent different philosophies in email marketing. Mailmodo is a YC-backed startup betting on AMP technology for interactive emails. Moosend is a budget-friendly platform focused on delivering solid email marketing at aggressive prices. See our Mailmodo comparison for more context.

The key question: Is in-email interactivity worth paying more than double and accepting limited client support?

AMP vs Standard Email

Mailmodo's core innovation is AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) for email. This allows interactive elements inside the email itself - forms, surveys, quizzes, calendars. Recipients can take action without clicking through to a website.

Moosend uses standard HTML emails. No in-email forms or surveys, but emails work perfectly in every email client. No compatibility concerns, no fallback versions.

The Client Support Problem

AMP email only works in Gmail and Yahoo Mail. Outlook, Apple Mail, and most other clients don't support it. For these recipients, Mailmodo sends a fallback HTML email that looks normal but loses interactivity.

This means your list splits into two experiences. Gmail users get interactive features. Outlook users get standard emails with links. For B2B audiences that lean Outlook-heavy, Mailmodo's main selling point doesn't apply.

Moosend emails work everywhere, identically.

Pricing: $32 vs $78 at 10K

The pricing gap is substantial. Moosend costs $32/month at 10k subscribers with unlimited sends. Mailmodo costs $78/month - nearly 2.5x more.

Moosend's unlimited sends add extra value. High-frequency senders get predictable costs. Mailmodo's plans have send limits that could require upgrades for heavy users.

When Each Platform Shines

Choose Mailmodo when: Your audience is Gmail-heavy. You need in-email forms or surveys. You want to test innovative email approaches. Higher engagement matters more than universal reach or cost.

Choose Moosend when: Budget matters. You want unlimited sends. Your audience uses diverse email clients including Outlook. Reliable, simple email marketing is the priority.

For SaaS Companies

Neither platform is built for SaaS. Mailmodo's interactive features could work for feedback collection, but don't address subscription management. Moosend is too general.

For Stripe integration and subscription-aware automation, consider Sequenzy. It costs $49/month - between Moosend and Mailmodo - while focusing on what SaaS companies actually need.
