## FAQ

### Is Tappd cheaper than MailerLite?

At 10,000 contacts, 40,000 emails a month, and 10,000 MAU, MailerLite Power plus OneSignal Growth plus Segment Connections is about $388/mo.

MailerLite alone stays cheaper for email-only newsletters. Compare the full stack at /compare/email-stack?esp=mailerlite.

### Does MailerLite have a CDP?

No. You get subscriber profiles, groups, and segments for email. Unifying app events, devices, and purchases, then messaging on push and in-app, needs another system. Tappd includes that profile.

### Can MailerLite send push or in-app messages?

No. MailerLite is email, forms, landing pages, and pop-ups. Mobile push and in-app messages are not channels. Tappd includes both on the same journey as email.

### Which MailerLite plan is in the cost comparison?

Power, the plan with unlimited monthly emails and unlimited automations. It starts at $25/mo for 500 subscribers. Comfort is cheaper and caps sends at 10× the subscriber tier. Free covers 250 subscribers.

### We only send a newsletter. Should we switch?

Not for price. Stay on MailerLite if email, a landing page, and pop-ups are enough. Move when the same customer should also get push, in-app, or a banner from product behavior, and you do not want Segment in the middle.
