Loops alternatives,
compared
Loops is built for SaaS email and is pleasant to use. Teams look elsewhere when contact-based pricing outgrows their sending, or when they need open source or EU hosting.
Why teams look beyond Loops
Priced by contacts
Plans grow with your contact list, not with how much you send.
Closed source
You cannot read the code or run it on your own servers.
Hosted in one place
There is no option to keep data on your own infrastructure.
