What email sender do you use for newsletters?

We are now mixing Intercom/ SendGrid for emailing our customers.
But we have an email list with other subscribers and using this combination seems to be a bit costly.

Aweber since 1999, also used GetResponse, Sendlane, Mailchimp, Ontraport, Hubspot and more.

@john_delavera Long list)) so is Aweber the best?
@olya_zabalkanskaya IMHO it's one of the best to start with because a) they've been in the market for over 20+ years and they keep adding features when needed to secure their position in the market, for example, the landing pages and the push notifications added recently, b) they offer today a free plan that accommodates the need of the starters for sure, c) almost ALL systems offer integration with Aweber, and of course d) it does its job: it allows you to get the lead, setup campaigns and follow-up messages.
There will be a time though, when you learn things about email marketing that starters are not yet aware, where more features are needed. When that time point comes, you will need to invest to advanced autoresponders - that do more than getting leads, send follow up messages etc. There are things starters do not know they do not know, like IP warming, DKIM and SFP, dedicated IP addresses, connection with SMTP servers, list segmentation and A/B split testing, nurturing your leads, cleaning lists and many more.
As I use to say, "the use improves the user" hence I suggest Aweber to start with until you get 10K subscribers and by that time you will know what to use next.
Mailchimp is also a good option)
EmailOctopus has a great product and reasonable plans.
At VC Deals, we're using sendinblue right now since we wanted to try a free product that wasn't Mailchimp. It is okay but not sure I would recommend. Here's a great starting point if you're researching email tools: https://airtable.com/universe/ex...
