| plan | from $/mo | billed | source | checked |

Free: Up to 2,500 subscribers and 10,000 emails a month. EmailOctopus branding on emails, reports kept 30 days, 1 landing page, 1 form, 1 user.
Pro: Read in USD by entering subscriber counts into the pricing page. Yearly figures are the effective monthly price with yearly billing (the page says it saves 10%). The ceilings are inferred from where the price changed: prices were read at 500, 1,000, 1,500, 2,000, 2,500, 3,000, 4,000, 5,000, 7,500, 10,000, 15,000, 20,000 and 25,000 subscribers; for 40,000 to 50,000 only the 40,000 (yearly $130) and 50,000 points were read, so that tier is recorded only for exactly 50,000. 30,000, 75,000 and 100,000+ were read on yearly billing only and are not entered. Over 500,000 subscribers: custom quote. The vendor also sells a separate Amazon SES based product (EmailOctopus Connect) that is not priced here.
