## Why customers pick AcelleMail

- **One-time payment, no recurring fees.** Regular License USD 74 (single domain) or Extended License USD 199 (SaaS rights).
- **Unlimited contacts + unlimited sends.** No subscriber tier, no monthly send cap. You pay only the underlying SMTP cost (e.g. Amazon SES at USD 0.10 per 1,000 emails).

## How AcelleMail compares (one-line each)

- **vs Mailchimp:** Mailchimp = SaaS, USD 13-350+/mo, contact-tier capped. AcelleMail = USD 74 once, unlimited contacts.
- **vs SendGrid / Mailgun / SES / Postmark:** those are *transport* services. AcelleMail is the *marketing UI* on top of them.
- **vs listmonk:** listmonk is free + dev-oriented (CLI / SQL). AcelleMail is paid (USD 74) but turnkey UI + drag-drop + automation + vendor email support.
- **vs Mautic:** Mautic is free + heavier marketing-automation suite. AcelleMail is simpler, email-focused, faster to deploy.
