About Marketing Plans
The key feature of the Marketing plan is it's accessibility. All it takes is a brief setup after which you are ready to go. You can find a short description of the initial configuration of an Elastic Email Account below. This applies to Email API plans as well, but with Marketing, you will most likely spend much more time on our dashboard.
Our Marketing plans offer a flexible subscription model, with pricing based on your selected contact quota. Designed to meet your email marketing needs, these plans provide access to a comprehensive set of tools and features, all within our user-friendly and intuitive dashboard.
One of the key components is the Campaign Creator - a powerful tool that allows you to effortlessly design and launch marketing campaigns in just a few clicks. Whether you’re crafting engaging newsletters or targeted promotional emails, the Campaign Creator streamlines the process, ensuring efficiency and effectiveness
About Creator Suite
Creator Suit plans are designed for content creators, startup endeavors and creative people, who produce various types of content, manage their social media profiles and looking for an easy-to-use yet comprehensive email marketing platform to run their newsletters and monetize their content.
The Plan was designed for intuitive and quick onboarding into content delivery, ensuring optimal efficiency while saving time. With a wide range of tools, customers can immediately start creating and sending their content to their audiences and sell their digital products thanks to the implemented "Checkouts" feature.
It exclusively bases on dashboard management, so SMTP/API solutions are not available for this option.
About Email API
Email API plans are best used for transactional emails sent out through a custom built integration with our API or SMTP relay. However, nothing will stop you from using a third-party software and integrating it for marketing purposes too.
You can find details about how to configure SMTP and API in our article:
To start integrating your code with the Elastic Email API, just check out our REST API Documentation:
There are additional tutorials and hints for integration in some of our resources, like:
To ensure seamless delivery without interruptions related to your account's credit, we implement an Auto-recharge feature for Email API plans. If you are sending continuously and your email credits are about to run out, we will recharge the account's credits according to the levels that you set up so that you can continue to submit emails without managing this manually.
PRO Plans
You can always upgrade both Marketing and Email API plans to their respective PRO versions in your account's Billing page. This unlocks Elastic Email's full potential and gives you access to our additional features. These features include:
Unlimited custom fields for your contacts.
Extended email logs - 7 days instead of 3
Setting up custom rDNS (PTR) for any private IPs you purchase
We offer detailed Pricing Plan comparisons, allowing you to see the differences between the Starter and PRO versions. You're kindly invited to visit your preferred Pricing page and click the "See full list of features" button.
Recommendations
To summarize: we kindly advise you to choose Marketing Plan if your main goal is to send marketing campaigns and grow your customer base.
If you're more interested in transactional communication (password resets, sending invoices, order confirmations, system notifications etc.) which does not require our dashboard tools, the Email API Plan is for you.
