Acumbamail alternative: two per-email price lists, compared
Acumbamail and Kubo Mail both charge by emails a month, so the comparison is direct: the same list and the same campaigns, two price lists. Here is the math with the prices on the official websites and what each one includes.
How each one charges
Kubo Mail
- By the emails of each month: each message to a person counts as one.
- Unlimited contacts on paid plans; on Free, up to 2,500.
- Unlimited users on paid plans, each with their own role; on Free, 2.
- Every feature on every plan: the only thing that changes is how many emails you send a month.
Acumbamail
- By emails a month, in tiers from 20,000 to 2,000,000; beyond that, custom.
- Four price lists: Free (250 subscribers and 2,000 emails a month), Basic, Pro and Enterprise.
- Paid plans send without the “Sent through Acumbamail” logo, with multi-user access and API access.
- Basic includes automations, websites, A/B testing, full reports, SMTP and phone support; Pro adds an agency account, automatic forwarding, list cleaning, Facebook audiences, send-queue priority and a monthly email marketing consultation.
- Billed yearly, with a single annual charge, 20% less.

When each one fits better
Acumbamail fits better if…
- You want automations or websites in the same account, or to send SMS: Acumbamail offers them. Kubo Mail does not today.
- You want to talk to someone by phone: phone support comes with the Basic plan already.
- You are an agency and want an agency account, or a monthly email marketing consultation: they come with its Pro plan.
Kubo Mail fits better if…
- You want to pay less for the same volume: in the four cases above, Kubo Mail comes out below Acumbamail’s Basic plan.
- You want a free plan with more contacts: Kubo Mail gives you up to 2,500 contacts and 3,000 emails a month, against 250 subscribers and 2,000 emails.
- You want proof of consent for every contact: where they came from, when, and which text they accepted.
- You only need newsletters, done well: a block editor, templates, statistics per campaign and per person, subject A/B testing and resending to those who did not open.
How to move over from Acumbamail
Kubo Mail imports any CSV with an email column: export your list from wherever you have it and upload it. The import cleans misspelled, disposable and duplicate addresses and respects anyone who already unsubscribed. Only contacts who gave their consent. Your emails will go out from your own domain, authenticated with DKIM.
