What to watch for on the bill
- Expensive relative to competitors; ~1 in 4 critical reviews cite pricing or billing surprises
- Premium API features (Bulk Send, PowerForms, Connect) gated behind the $480/mo Advanced tier
- Envelope-based metering with tight quotas pushes real volume into custom Enterprise contracts
- Customer support quality on lower tiers is a recurring complaint
