Alternatives to EmailOctopus
Other Email marketing vendors we measure, sorted by how much they publish that EmailOctopus does not. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 20 that differ from EmailOctopus on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
EmailOctopus has 8 gaps in what we could measure: Subprocessor list, Status page with history, Certifications named, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, security.txt (RFC 9116), Notice before subprocessors change, Named privacy contact. The column “publishes and EmailOctopus does not” is the one that closes them.
