...Is this built by the same company behind SendOwl? https://www.sendowl.com
I am the founder of SendOwl and this is not a project by us. It's clearly ripped off our brand though. Will be getting in touch with them to discuss the matter immediately.

Then perhaps you should be clear and change "Cost 10,000 Emails" to say "Cost 10,000 Subscribers". I can send 10,000 emails for free (12,000 actually) each month using Mandrill. Make it clear you're talking about subscribers and not emails. Also, if I check MailChimp pricing, 10,000 subscribers costs $75 / month. EDIT: When I saw 10,000 emails I honestly thought 10,000 emails which would make your pricing not that gr…
Thanks for your feedback. I will try to make that data more clear for everyone. If you see the "Pay as you go" section in MailChimp, it is indeed $200 for 10,000 emails. OwlSend is $30 for sending 10,000 emails.
If I send a morning and an evening email (600,000 per month) do I pay $30 or $89 per month?
I'm confused because in your comparison chart you say $30 to send 10,000 emails. Your pricing says $29 / month. Your FAQ talks about "How much does it cost? Owlsend application charges a flat fee of $29 upto 10,000 subscribers, $49 for upto 50,000 subscribers and $79 for upto 100,000 subscribers. You can send unlimited bulk emails with Owlsend every month. Amazon SES costs $1 per 10,000 emails sent."
So is it $29 + $1 for that first 10000 emails? If not, why are you talking about SES and how much SES costs? SES [costs] should be a non factor and not even mentioned.
EDIT: In the Pricing section it says "Send Unlimited Emails to 10,000 Subscribers" again, am I still paying $1 per 10,000 emails above the $29 / month just to use your interface?

If I have 10,000 subscribers and I send a daily email so 300,000 emails a month do I pay $30 or $59 using OwlSend?

Here is a simple calculation. If you send 5 broadcasts to all your audience of 10,000 people.
It would be $29 + $5 = $34
Here $29 is a recurring cost and $5 is a variable cost depending upon number of emails sent any month. Amazon SES charges $1 per 10,000 emails through them.

Hi Dan, There are no lock-ins whatsoever. If you like to move over to somewhere else in the later stage. Just send us one email at hoot[at]owlsend.com and we will send you the export of all your contacts. Thanks Neeraj OwlSend Team
Unless there’s a button or link to export the data, it’s still locked in. Having to ask for permission – “please can I have my own data to leave your service” – is not acceptable.
Better option in my opinion is to have a simple export request form and send the export directly to the admin email address.

If you are running a business and your team handles email marketing for your business, having a simple export button in the email marketing application is not a good idea. Better option in my opinion is to have a simple export request form and send the export directly to the admin email address.
